Aunts Creek fishing

[BradVan]

Will be staying in Aunt's Creek October 3-6 with my wife. Any ideas on catching fish in that area about that time of year? Don't have the biggest or fastest boat, but would run 10-15 miles. Mainly would just like to see my wife catch a few. Thanks.

In the words of Techo, a respected member from the past, "Nothing to see here. Move along." He guarded it because the area contains good fish year round.

I suggest you stay current on success reports up to the day of your trip and apply the techniques and cues to what you see. This forum is noted for giving away too much information.

BTW, all of us would really enjoy a post about your successes or failures.

Have a great trip!

I don't fish that area all that much, but looking at the forecast and knowing what cooler weather usually brings this time of year I would suggest a few baits. I like a 1/4oz spinnerbait with the skirt trimmed up some. A shallow squarebill Crankbait and my favorite thing - a buzzbait. A jig is always a must and I throw a straight worm a lot.

Fish should be moving shallower, not sure they will be in the back of coves yet or not. Like rsp said - keep reading the reports and I suggest watching Eric Pray and Pete Weners video reports, good information with every report.

YouTube search for the Focused Fishing and Pete Wenners video reports, like Cheese said.  A deeper dive on this forum for Babler and Merc will provide great insight as well.   Report back with what works and what doesn't and you may be rewarded with additional info.  Good luck and enjoy regardless.

As I own Aunts Creek it is closed to most folk!  Purchasing buckets of purple paint as I speak!  You are welcome however.  While I stay up on the reports, I don't type much as I had been working a job that didn't allow me to fish as much.  I am back in the saddle a bit so to speak.

Watch the reports.  They will tell you where to look, depth of presentation and sometimes even speed of retrieve.  Transition banks, swing points, etc.  The cool thing about putting in at Aunts Creek is you can find almost any type of structure or bank without going to far.  I can find almost anything I need from Point 9-13.  You wont need to go far!  Jackson Hollow is always good for something!

On a side note it isn't talked much on here any more but I put the grandkid in the back of the boat dragging a fish doctor on a Carolina rig and always seems to catch something no matter the time of year.

Yes and can always look up previous reports from the same time of year you are planning on going...

Welcome back Techo! Good advice! Don't forget the Ned Rig.............................ANYONE can catch fish on the Ned.

Hey, Techo.  Good to "see" you.  Since Champ188 and I know you own Aunt's Creek, we would never, no never (fingers crossed behind my back), EVER fish Aunt's Creek.  

Honestly, haven't been much.  Working fulltime puts a damper on too much fishing or golf.  Waiting for the good bite to start before putting up the golf clubs for awhile.  Champ went Friday with Ranger185 and had some decent numbers, but nothing to write home about, he said.

Hey sister.  I have been golfing twice this year.  The boss asked me to play on his four-man tournament one day.  He wont do that again!  You and Champ have permission to fish Aunt's Creek!  Meet ya there for sammiches.  Been a decade or so!

We would love to meet you and your lovely wife for another picnic on the water.  It has been too long.  Thanks for the Aunt's Creek pass.
