joeD Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 "37,800 cfs and rising, more rain forecast .I combined a couple set lines with casting for smallmouth today, both produced in this turbid mess.I targeted two breaks in the flooded shoreline cover that allow access to the flooded grassy areas teeming with worms. I used crawlers in one spot and stink bait in the other. It didn't take long to switch both to crawlers. Catfish, carp and freshwater drum were interested in eating the worms. Why not, plentiful and easy to catch.I started with a tandem spin with a twister trailer, worked ok . I switched to weighted keeper hook with a paddle tail fluke rigged sideways, worked much better. Smallmouth off flooded picnic tables, grills and parking blocks. Smallmouth off trees, weed beds and debris piles" Smalliebigs, Mitch f and Greasy B 3
Greasy B Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Ha ha ha ha, one thing is for sure; that river in Illinois is a different animal than our local flow.

He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974

moguy1973 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I was driving down Big Bend tonight and looked down in to the valley and couldn't believe the amount of water that was down there. Looks like the Mississippi with trees and buildings in the middle of it. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
