Indian Creek 11/18/2013

Hauled the rig over to Lost Bridge North and spend about 6 hours mid-day fishing the Indian Creek area. Poked around in several coves, caught 8 or so, with 2 keeper smallies and a keeper LM in the mix. Almost all came on a Texas rigged tube dragged on the bottom, in mid cove areas, fish being usually in 10-20 feet of water.

Saw the "Arkansas Habitat Barge" - that's what it says on the side of the boat - over on the northwest side of Horne Holler loading up some salt cedars that had been cut down. As I was leaving, saw several more boats heading up that way. Back at the ramp, there were about 1/2 dozen rigs parked there with either "Arkansas Heritage Commission" decals on them or "Arkansas Game and Fish". I'm thinking those cedars they are removing are in that Devils Eyebrow area the state purchased last year. I don't know where they are placing the cedars however.

Here's a keeper smallie that came with a bonus walleye lure and 30 yards of mono to boot.

Glad to hear you got some water time and even more glad to hear the AGFC making more habitats from the removed trees. Kudos to them.

That's the greenest smallie I have seen in a while from beaver most of mine have been (tea brown) nice one.

That must have felt like a monster reeling in a smallie with a snagged lure and line attached.

Yeah it felt heavy, but it wasn't moving a lot - I thought I had a good sized walleye.
