April 1, Indian Creek area

Fished with Tom from Eagle Rock today, very nice spring day, but slow fishing.  We caught 15 or so bass, only two were keepers and both keepers were smallmouth.  Started off swimming Keitechs of points and rocky banks, that is where the two keepers came from, along with a couple of shorts, 3 keeper walleye and a couple of white bass.

Finished up the day back in the main channel of Indian creek where we got some Ned fish, which were all 12-13" spots and a couple of largemouth.  Had a good puller that got off, but no keeper sized fish to the boat.

Most fish were off the bank in 5-15 FOW.  Little bit of a green stain to the water up in Indian creek, clear water down by the dam.

I’m s been 10 years ago...but We used to go way back up in the trees of Indian creek and catch whites this time of year.

didnt even seem like it was part of the lake...the water would back up into those trees up there...and the white bass would be in that mess.  Almost looked like flooded timber duck hunting

Always been hit or miss for me chasing whites in the back of Indian, either they are there in mass quantities or it seems there are hardly any around.  The other coves off Indian will get them in the backs too if the water is running in.  Rain coming in this weekend will put some in there I bet.

Did you get any slime on your baits? I’ve been getting a lot of that on stuff fished shallow.

Some slime in places, but it wasn't but an occasional annoyance.
