7/24 Glaize Creek - Swinging Bridges

[UnCivE]

Hit the water @ 9am. Got the boat out, fished a mile downstream from the bridge and back up. Fishing was dead today.. no bites, nothing. Topwater was dead, current was non-existent where I was at, and I was ready to hang it up by 1030.

On the way back to the truck, I tossed my green 5" senko in among some timber, and got a good hit. Set the hook, and fish started peelin off drag. Got it to the boat and it's a 5.1 lb largemouth. FAT fish. I measured him, weighed him, and let him go back in the water. I fished the area some more, caught a small smallie, but that was it. I called it a day @ 11am and headed home.

Anyway. 2 fish caught today. One big, one small.

when the lake is full, well at least about 10 years ago, you could get a bass boat up to the swinging bridge. I fished the Glaize all the way from PB 1 to the bridge several times, thinking it looked to fishy to not have a bunch of good fish. My results were usually like yours, one good fish or two, but never enough to justify spending a tournament day up there. Maybe when the creek is flowing good, you could kayak or wade further up and catch more? Thanks for that memory return UnCiv.

No problem. If the rest of the run down to the GG arm of the lake is anything like the water I paddled 1 mile downstream from the bridge, you could almost get a bass boat up there now. The water is backed up almost all the way to the bridge from the lake... there's no current, in fact I felt like I was on the lake already. Beautiful area though. I'll return to sightsee, but probably not to fish until the weather changes.
