Mountain Creek

[SgtChuck64]

Caught these in Mountain Creek casting a wiggle wart parallel to the chunk rock banks, water temp ranged from 52 at the mouth to 55 in the back. Cant seem to find the walleyes, anybody having any luck on them ? I'll be here for a month.I'm in a black and gray Targa 18 with a 115 Merc if anyone wants to stop and chew the fat.

Those are beautiful bass.

I hope you have reason to post several times in the next month.

I found 55-58 degrees last weekend in the Oakland area.

You have the right baits, bass and walleye were hitting cranks last weekend.

I should be out in afternoons this week, I'll look for your boat.

son! 

now those are hawgs!

if I wanted to catch a walleye right now I'd for sure have a large purple backed flicker shad, underspin with a disco violet fluke on it and a jerkbait tied on. Early and late. Gravel points in the coves or clay gravel/ chunk rock banks back in the major feeder creeks. The underspin I use it just like a spinnerbait slow rolled at the same depth as the shad with a few pauses during the retrieve to trigger a bite. The crankk and jerkbait just cast it out and use slow a stop and go retrieve, not so much twitching the sticker but just short pulls w/ long pauses or a SLOW steady wind. It seems like I catch more bass when really twitching and jerking the lure but fewer walleye. Be sure to have some chartreuse somewhere on the sticker of choice now.  As the water warms after the spawn I like an orange belly on my stick baits.
