bferg Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Hit up Rocky Branch before work this AM in search of topwater Stripers. On the water at 5:45 and off at 7:45. Short but decent morning. Ended up a Striper shy of the Beaver Slam. Were in Cedar/Ford creek area and around the islands in RB. Saw a few surfacing fish through out the morning- enough to keep us throwing topwater. Only had one blow-up on a Whopper Plopper. Fish hit it 3 times with no hook up. Somehow if that thing gets within an inch of my pants it hooks me but a fish can swipe it 3 times unscathed! When the sun got high we started trolling some flicker shads around main lake points. Caught 2 bass, 1 white, an eye and a hybrid. Marked lots of fish all morning. If I was a bait guy I would probably spend some time around the islands in RB... Marked quite a few fish in there especially. Wish I would have had more time to chase them. Might try again tomorrow AM. Lance34, Johnsfolly, Quillback and 2 others 5
Members crkoester Posted May 25, 2017 Members Posted May 25, 2017 How was the water clarity in the RB area?
Quillback Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Pretty darned good for a couple of hours on the lake. Carl W 1
Johnsfolly Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Congrats on a good morning of fishing. Better than being at work early! TexExp 1
Members TexExp Posted May 25, 2017 Members Posted May 25, 2017 Yep, sounds like a good morning on the lake. Good luck tomorrow!

Sore Thumbs Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 I talked to a guy who lives around Indian creek. He said he has been catching them there also.
