Indian Creek 4/14

[bferg]

Got on the water at 6.30- wind was already blowing pretty good.  Cloudy, 43 degrees.  Went to the back of Indian.  WT was mid 50’s.   Marked a ton of fish and my buddy  hooked up with a 7-8 lb striper right away.  Unfortunately we were throwing 6lb test and as he got the fish to the boat I realized my net was missing (thanks kids).  I tried to lip it and pull it in but the line snapped as soon as I touched it.  Anyway- we ended up getting on a school of whites with some big fat females in there for about 45 minutes or so.  Lotta fun- multiple double ups and a couple of real nice whites.  Clouds broke up some and we lost contact with them.  I went out there today intending to find some smallies but by the time we were done with the whites (hard to leave a school of feeding fish) the wind was so wicked that anything closer to the front of Indian or the dam was completely unfishable.  Off the water at 9.45.  Caught about a dozen fish- all of them on a KaiTech 3.8 with 1/4 oz head.  Color didn’t seem to matter as long as it was shadish looking.  All the females were loaded with eggs!

Whew, glad you didn't sore mouth any of my smallies.  

 

Just kidding of course, that white bass run to the back on Indian can be hard to time, cool to see you get into them!

Your smallies are safe and sound!  But maybe a little bit seasick- it was white capping pretty good when we came in.

I was back there on Tuesday and didn’t see any schools on my graph. Didn’t get any bites. Started catching them when we got close to the ramp area.

Any of you know what the water looks like around PC?  Is it still pretty muddy?

Sounds like a great day out there. Nice fat whites u got.  I make fish tacos with them. I really enjoy them.

Yeah, it's still muddy here around the PC area.
