10/17-10/20 Indian Pt/dam Area Report

[NebSchmidty]

Wanted to pass along a short report from our time on the water. It was a family trip with in-laws and little ones, so our fishing time came in short bits and pieces throughout our stay. Brother-in-law and I fished between moonshine beach and pt 5, and back up into jakes and north indian creeks. Struggled in the creek arms. Didn't seem to scan as many fish or bait in these areas either. By far the most productive areas were on the up-current side of main lake points and then bluff-ends. The steeper the point, the better, w/ nearby submerged timber being a plus. Didn't find (or scan) a whole lot on backside flats or very far into coves. Worked tubes and fb jigs from shore out 12-20' depending on time of day. GP tubes, smaller profile jigs (best was 1/2oz jewel PBJ finesse FB jig w/ GP ultravibe speed craw) on the points, and heavier/bulkier jigs (5/8 jewel GP candy w/ matching twin tail grub) dragging deeper along the bluff-end. When the wind got really going, we also found bites spinnerbaits and on craw patterned DT-10's (gp/purple seemed to work best). The bluff-end (by Moonshine) seemed to hold the better fish, but we just ran out of time to make further runs up-river to try duplicating that pattern on similar structure elsewhere. Mostly all browns, with only a couple spots mixed in.
