Sprint21fter Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Fished the Meeks Invitational out of Aunts creek with Dad and brought in a 5 fish limit that was 14 and change. The difference maker was a 5.74 spawned out fish Dad caught on a crankbait. That was our 4th keeper fish at the time and it was 10:30am. We didn't get another keeper bite until 1:00pm. That was our 5th and smallest fish. Ended up 6th out of 66 boats. 1st place was a mid 16lb bag with twin 4 pounders that were spawned out. The word was cranking around spawning pockets where there was some transition in the bank. All our fish came out of 5-12ft of water. Wind and big rocks was the key for us.
buckcreekmike Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Nice result for you and your old man. I was there at the end of March and that same pattern was working great then too
Jason Essary Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 sprint, what kind of crank was you thowing if you dont mind? 8 to 10' range plugs or dd22s, craw colors or shad? We fished meeks also, my worker and I, and we sure didnt do well.

Sprint21fter Posted May 4, 2012 Author Posted May 4, 2012 Jason, all keepers except for one came on DT 16's and DD22's, crawfish/shad colors if you are hitting the areas that I think you are hitting you should be able to run a good pattern as long as there is decent wind. Our other fish smoked a spook jr he had a 4lb body but weighed just over 3lbs looked like a big male to me. Keep up the good work at Mill Creek tonight. See ya around.
