ollie Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Make sure and bring a spinner bait or two. Just ask Buzz about that one! Buzz and conorsixtakc 2 "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
npierceuark Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I've fished it on the busy days and it is possible. You cast when you can and when you can't, sip on a cold one. fish slow and in the deeper holes. Also fast stretches where people can't park the rafts and canoes will hold some as well. Any small soft plastic should work and buzzbaits are fun if you get out early or late when things die down. Watermelon red plastics and chartreuse buzzes are my go to. conorsixtakc 1

My only hours outside of the party will probably be early, so I'll see if I can't get my wade on before the zombies crawl out!
Amery Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 The elk has lots of fish in it every day of the week. All you need is that tube, if you want topwater fish, throw a wtd bait or a buzzbait. I also love a shakey head worm.

Do you run your tubes on tube jigs with an exposed hook, or do you texas rig em on the elk?
jtram Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 just get u some cheap weedless arkie stand up jig heads at your local Walmart Suuuupercenter, and go get you some........ conorsixtakc and Chief Grey Bear 2
Amery Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I I use 1/8 oz jig heads slid into the tube, exposed hook. Tubes and lead heads are cheap. Break the barb off cause they have a tendency to swallow it if you let them have it too long, when you feel the bite, set the hook!!! conorsixtakc and jtram 2

That's the way I prefer to fish em I just didn't know how snaggy it would be in a stream, hence me asking about texas rigging. I usually drag and bottom bounce them on points/flats on a certain reservoir back in KS for smallmouth, but seldom around really rocky stuff. I plan on probing the deepest/rockiest/woodiest pools I can find with it. Not too concerned about hookset ratios dropping with the texas rig, but if I can get away with an exposed hook jig head and not lose half a dozen to snags I'll fish it that way for sure.
