Fishing Around Trimble Creek Report

[pat]

I appreciate all the information offered up on here, so here is what I had success with fishing last weekend.

Me and my future brother'n'law fished for 2 days from morning till night.

We had good luck in the morning on rebel topwater baits. Color didn't seem to matter, hooked a lot of kentuckies.

Tried a variety of stuff during the day, only really did good on a Texas rigged zoom, june bug color, 6 inch finesse worm. 3/4 to all the way back in creeks.

Tried for Walleye around main lake timbered bluffs to where they transitioned to shallow water. We fished with stickbaits last 2 hours of dark. Only managed 2 keeper walleye and at one point the smallmouth were really hitting the clown rogue. There didn't seem to be any concentration of walleye, just one here and there.

No fish on the wiggle wart or any cranks. Fished jig and grub a little but no bites.

I caught the most keepers I have ever caught on the lake. Second day was the best; 9 keeper bass, 1 keeper walleye, and a catfish. Probably not near as good as all you locals, but I am out of practice from my time in the military. It is slowly coming back. Just wanted to share some info.

Does anyone fish with grubs at night?

Does anyone know a good source to buy minnows with to fish at night?

I will be back down in June with the family, so I will be fishing while they are sleeping (morning and night).

Thanks,

Pat

To answer your question about the grub at night, yes you can catch fish on grubs at night. Might not be best thing to throw at night but when you can't get anything going trying a grub on some pea gravel banks at night does work for the smallies.
