Saturday The 10Th

[mrgungho]

Went down Saturday and fished noon till dark around the Buck creek area. Fished up creek arms and coves. The rockier the bottom the better. From about 8 foot of water down to 1 ft. We were fishing with Gene Larew 8" Hooktail worm in "Red Silver" and we tore it up. We rigged the worms up with a 3/16 bullet weight and 3/0 or 4/0 worm hook. Throw it out and let it sink all the way down..super slow retrieve with a hop here and there. Most of the hits we got came on the initial sink. We caught a bunch of black bass as well as several smallies and spotties. Of course this style of fishing is slow and kinda hard to get in to, but I promise if you get up in the type of water I mentioned and you stick with it for a bit you will catch fish!!! My buddy caught a 4.5 pouder in about 6 foot of water...and we caught several other keepers as well. I will post a pic or two as soon as I get them off my camera.

Nice report.

I fished out of Elbow on Sunday and caught big numbers (not alot of size) of bass on grubs... watermelon & flake worked best for me. The bass were on the edge of the submerged buck brush. Fun day, but I was hoping for crappie!
