Gold Creek Report

Had the mornin' free to go fishin' this am. Decided to head back up to Gold Creek and see what was going on now. Got to Dan's a little before daylight and ended up at the front of the line. Got me plenty of rosies and headed towards the pool. Couldn't get any poles out the fish were hittin' so fast. Ended up catchin' fish after fish 'till about 9-ish. Even after it slowed down a little, they were still keepin' me busy. It really slowed down around 10-ish when the sun got up higher, but was still catchin' fish. Lots of 7-9" throwbacks, with better numbers of quality fish mixed in. Ended up cullin' out a limit and ran out of bait around noon. Water temp was 63 this morning. Caught crappie from 5' - 9' deep over a couple of the brushpiles in the pool. Two best spots were under the iron bridge and the brushpile in the pic below. Now on to a few pics from the morning...

Lookin' at the iron bridge...

if they don't do much here on greeson tomorrow, I will be heading that way on sunday

Looks like the early bird got the crappie......nice pics, fish, and report!

Good looking fish Ceb. Can't wait to get back on the water myself. Been recuperating from surgery for deviated septum and they ended up taking my tonsils out. That was the worst part of the whole surgery. Throat is still killing me and it has been 10 days since the surgery. Have to work next week but then hopefully will be able to get on some fish the next week....

got to watch a master at spider riging fri mor talked to you a little while at the bridge. nice catch

Some nice fish Chris, thanks for the report and pictures.

WTG Chris, Nice pics! Glad they had you busy with them poles:D That'll be good practice for Darbonne! Hope you hang with them while your off:D

Nice fish Chris. Thanks for the report and excellent info.

Awesome. I bet that was fun! :)

man, I miss lake conway. Sure glad to see quality fish still coming out of there. Congrats on the catch. Fish the bradford pear, it's a producer on the creek side.

I went on Friday and Saturday. Both times in the evening. Friday, I was the same as CEB. In fact I was spider riggin and had to take two of the poles off the holders. I could not keep up with them. On Sat. evening got a little slower (could be because I had my 8 yr old girl with me), but still did really good. Still getting more of the small ones than the big ones, but the big ones are moving in.

Hope you gettin' to feeling better soon. I know that's a rough surgery on an adult. I'll bet the slabs are waitin' on ya...

And glad to meet you out there hotdawg. I didn't even know that was you. Were you also spider-riggin' under the brigde...that's always quite a show...:eek:

Glad you and your youngin' got to get on a good bite, LRJoe. It can get kinda hairy when you've got three or four poles with fish on 'em and the others are hung-up...especially under that bridge...:D

Any of you guys fish the area at night? Used to see two guys in a pond hopper getting out there when I was loading up to leave at 8 pm. They always used headlamps (Xenon) and flourescent floats. They were out there every night just about. Also, be very careful at night around that bridge. Was leaving out one night and someone had yoyo's set up under it. Didn't see them until it was too late. Resulted in two hooks in buddy's leg and shoulder. Makes me cringe everytime I think of it.
