Bridgeport/ Flatt Creek-Wild Turkey Wedsnday

[aarchdale@coresleep.com]

Started at Flatt creek at 12 ish water temp 51. I was hoping for some crappie tried some brush and nothing tried to troll some flats and nothing there either.  Put away the crappie stuff and started throwing a wart.  Caught lots of bass only two keepers and lost another couple that would have probably hit the 15" mark.  Mix of spots and largemouth.  1 keeper Smallie too.  Best bite for me was in rip rap under the bridges.  But also caught a lot just running the banks. Shad were in the channel back in the creek and back in all the coves.   Not much of a pattern just covered water and picked some up here and there. 

All my bites were soft, all of a sudden you would just feel some weight. 

Talked to a buddy down there and he had caught a couple nice keepers and a spinnerbait  water temp out in the lake was 54. 

Took a few pics of  nice one

I knew the crappie deal was a long shot, Caught some last week on Bull and i know a guy that is killing them on brush in Bull. I was hoping but they just arent back there yet

Nope, i saw it there. I actually launched at Flatt creek resort. I was running around in a little red bass tracker

We were in the maroon Cajun fishing the coves next to Bridgeport. That was my blue ram truck next to the jeep. I'll post a note about our fishing when I get to the computer.  Sounds like you were flexible in your approach today

Flexible???? maybe more just running around. I threw a few other baits. Jig, red eye shad, square bill, SB. But the wart is all i could get a bite on. Water color is perfect in the james for a wart. Ive had great luck this fall using bright colored warts instead of the natural colors. A buddy and i caught somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 one day, i was using red and he was using orange. But not one keeper that whole day. Fun day though
