Kayak report for Limestone creek (Gator seen)

I fished Limestone again Tuesday morning. Still no crappie but did catch several stripe and bluegill. The shad schools are thick everywhere up to and inside the first pit. Tried to get a picture of them. Went up in the creek at the bend and the Lilly pads are thick in there. as i came out our old buddy was coming off the bank and went out and watched me for a while with just his eyes and snout above water . After 15 minutes or so he swam over under the big tree and then went upstream. I went up to the first pit and he was just off the grass where Damion saw him in the center pit. Hope the falling water and cooler temps moves the crappie in shortly.

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing

Very pretty pictures. Just make sure you don’t put keepers on a stringer in the water :yikes

Thanks for the report, should be getting good in another couple weeks.

Great pictures and report. You didn't happen to see Damions underwear floating around the pits. Got a feeling he had to get shed of them....lol...

If temps will cooperate crappie will be there soon. Gators back there are pretty common been that way for years.

Looks like your water sharing buddy kept you on high alert! Good to see all those shad.

Good sized critter he is too

I believe he is the same big one i videoed in the center pit up on the bank last year
here he is

Yep, he's full grown, LOL!

A couple years ago he surfaced in the first pit on the left as your coming out of the bay only three feet from my kayak. I could have reached out and scratched him on the head. Looked like his head was two and a half feet long and 16 or 18 inches wide. I saw a lot of Gators when I lived in Coastal Georgia, but I don't think I've ever seen one with a head that big. He looks like he could swallow a 40-pound carp without bothering to chew!
