It's true, if they haven't stocked then the winner most times only wins with 2-5 fish total. We shall see this year!

Well, we all know that Buzz can't be trusted with his counts! lol JK

Told my wife last night I was going to go to bed with 2 minutes left since I wasn't sure they would pull it off. Then I'm standing up out of my chair waiting and waiting for them to screw up, but instead they march down like in a true Chief's fashion and win the game. That one was crazy last night. You just can never count them out in the end even if they are down by touchdown.

Shows you just how old I am getting! Can't remember how many years now we have done this. Anywho, we will do it again after Thanksgiving on Sunday at 9. God willing and the creek don't rise! God must be willing though since I didn't die back in Feb. of this year. Let's all meet down at the lower parking lot at that time and then we will go at it. I'm sure the creek has changed somewhat since last year. Although I'm not sure where since I have only scoped out the 2 bridges this year so far. Didn't even fish them, just wanted to see what was going on. I'm driving a silver Subaru now so just look for me.

Another successful day at the park. I'm telling you, if they didn't stock then everyone I saw down there are very good fisherman! Within the first hour a LOT of people had already caught upwards of 20 and there was no letting up at all. Every hole, everyone was catching. Saw 2 people that were throwing nothing but white jigs all day long and they were tearing it up! Heck, I would move to different hole and sometimes catch 10-12 out of it before moving on. I think Buzz caught around 115. I stopped counting after 30, but I'm sure I was over 50 before I left at two. I think I fished maybe 5 hours total for that count. Buzz fished longer and I don't think he had the line issues and losing jigs issues I had! lol Came up on one guy who had already caught 28 in the first hour so who knows how many he ended up with. Didn't seem to matter on the color as well. Olive, ginger, white, black, those were just some of the colors I used throughout the day. Good times

Uhmmmm, I guess if they never stocked it then I am a better fisherman than I thought! lol Especially since I have never caught that many in a day during regular season. Although I haven't been during regular season in quite a few years. Maybe that is the difference.

Not sure, but in years past I know they have. You don't just catch 50-100 in a day if they haven't stocked, I can tell you that! lol

C&R starts this Friday. Anyone else going besides Buzz and I this year? This will make like the 16th year in a row I have gone. Some incredible days and others not so much worth telling about. Still good memories to be had.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving me and some others always meet up at Capps and fish. You are more than welcome to come down for that as well.

Box might be full, I'll have to check on that. Did you make it up to Hickory?

I'm sure we will do it again this year. Same time and all.

Yes, but not sure about 4 seasons. Indian Hills also has a heated dock as well.

Give me a text before you come up this way for Hickory. I can save you time on that one. And yes, BH beat me to it! I was referencing Spring river. Although Elk and Neosho experience the same white bass run. Just not in the same proportions.

Well, you have to experience the white bass run in the spring time. Fun times when you get on them. Non stop action sometimes.

Welcome. I get over that way quite a bit. Have a buddy that lives in Bernice. Was just there this past weekend. Lots of places to fish around here. have fun!

I have 2 older Falcon Original series rods that I use to toss 1/32 and 1/16th on all the time and I have no issues flinging them a country mile! lol One is only 5' and the other is 6'6". Both great rods for the application, but sadly those are discontinued. Of course make sure you are using lighter line like 4# or smaller to achive this.

Almost went down there this past Sunday, but didn't get around to it. I'm sure it is low and very clear right now.

Did you like the float. Buzz and I went upstream from there a couple years back and I wasn't that impressed with that section. At least that was me.

Yeah, if you find a pecan tree to hunt around you have pretty much struck gold with the tree rats! I helped a guy put in some HVAC work on a house that had a big pecan tree in the front yard and there were so many running around it I lost count. Didn't see any other ones in the neighbors yards as well. I could have bagged my limit that day in like 15 minutes or less. lol

I'm really surprised that no one beat their arses at the weigh in. Saw several that looked like they wanted to. Shouldn't surprise anyone though since it has been happening ever since money was involved and probably still will after we die.

pics work great everyone! Take one and pass it along to your local agent. Sometimes people don't really know, but most of the time they do and don't care.

2sheds, I mean technically tjm is right about being able to catch a hold over now and then, but they are very few and far between anymore unless you know the creek very well. I do and I can tell you it isn't anything like it used to be. The city is more concerned with the disc golf in the park right now and I have no problem with that, but they would rather cater to them and the mountain bike crowd. To the city the creek is nothing more than a place for those to cool down in the summer and a put and take fishery.

Congrats and very surprised the bass actually went for that three times! Normally it is a one and done thing in most cases.

I am a fan of P-line, but I will admit the twist coming off the spool isn't great. I only use the CX Premium. Tried the CXX and didn't like it at all. I haven't tried any of the other lines in P-line's lineup.

Ok just to clear things up some the stream i s not void of trees or shade. I just realized it might have sounded that way. The city cleared the banks completely and did remove some trees that were on the bank. Just easier to take what you want.
