Indian Point & Jacques Creek

[Fishin4Fun]

Plan on doing some kayak fishing with my son in the morning.  We are putting in on Indian Point and fishing up Jacques Creek.  Anyone have any fishing reports in this area?  This is his first time out with me and I hoping to get him on some fish.  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Been A LOT of reports lately. Just read some of the recent posts.

I would fish petty light if I were you.  It is also very important to get out very early.  Tomorrow is going to be simply insane on this lake.  It is going to be a beautiful weekend and not only will the locals be out but the play for pay guys are here in droves.  Couple that with folks in wake boats still skiing and tearing up the H20 and you have lots of people in small places.

I would throw a ned rig or a small shaky head for brown fish.  Fish the pocket just past Rock Lane on the left and on down those steep interior banks.  Keep the boats a full cast from the bank and most probably you will get bit 1/2 back to the boat.  Fish slow and feel the bottom.  Also fish close to and behind the big docks in that area.  You can sneak up quietly.

You wait and come out at 8 or 9 o'clock and you will not be so successful.  Get out at 7.  The first hour is magic.  If you can take two rods each, put a small surface chugger on one and you might get someone to take it early.

Good Luck

Thank you Bill!

Sorry for the slow reply.  I actually didn't see your post until after we went.  We had a good day on the water, but fishing was a little slow.  Unfortunately my son didn't catch anything, but I caught a few.  We did use the Ned rig and that is what I got mine on.  My son wasn't very patient and being his first time out in the kayak, he wasn't to into it.  I'm going back out with my other son this Saturday and he has been out before and liked it, so we will try it again.  I will definitely try the techniques you shared and see how we can do.

Thanks again!
