Flint Creek Report 12/11 - West of Hwy 31

I bank fished Flint this afternoon from 2:30 until dark, and it was almost a fish about every other cast. Current was not too swift but decent, I found a place where the fish were stacked in behind a big blowdown that was breaking up the current.

It was about 50/50 bluegill and crappie. I kept about 10 fish total to clean for the freezer, 3 crappie that just did measure and some big bluegills. I’d guess I caught 20-25 crappie and only 3 of those were 9 in biggest maybe 10 in.

The bluegill were hitting just about any color you threw, but the crappie wanted only a blue & white tube jig or a Bobby Garland Blue Pearl Baby Shad. Water was really clear, visibility of about 12-18 in. I’d guess. Fish were hitting at 3-4 foot deep in about 6 FOW.

Good job. I worked my butt off all day in a kayak and didn’t do near that good.

Damion I really just got lucky lol. I’ve fished this spot a few times and I’ve caught a few just here and there. They all decided to stack up in there and were biting really well.

Had a fried crappie and bluegill lunch today with the Mrs. It’s hard to beat it when it’s fresh!

Man that is rough when it’s that clear! I need to make a trip to Guntersville again soon for some fish of good size. Last time I went was in October and did well at the 69 bridge. I’d imagine fishing from the bank around most all the bridges is getting to be a little bit of a circus this time of year, lol.

I actually live a bit closer to guntersville than wheeler but have never been over there for the reason of it being a circus. I’ve heard of people actually fighting over a spot. I’m too old for all that. Lol

Oh Lord, I like to fish but I’m not gonna fight a man for one. I might like to be a casual observer to that however [emoji38]!

Now that's a fun time for sure. Glad you got on them, always great when you find them like that. Congrats. Hopefully this rain will put a little color in the water and help a little.
