Indian Creek area April 6

[Quillback]

Fished from daylight until about noon.  It was disappointingly slow, I though I had some things figured out from last time I was there, but they pulled the old switcheroo on me and left me buffaloed.  I caught 3 bass, biggest was a 15.5 inch meanmouth.  They did not want the Keitech at all today, caught one spot on it and the other 2 came on the Ned, and they didn't seem to want it too badly either.  

Fished deep, shallow and in between on locations that should be producing this time of year.

Caught a striper that I didn't weight but might've gone 4 lbs. on a Keitech, and that fish was close to the bank.  Fought pretty hard on the spinning gear.

Thanks for the report! I caught this meanmouth in the same area yesterday.  Got on 3 flurries of fish and other than that pretty slow in between. 
 

I also saw a few abandoned what appeared to be bass beds. Usually don’t see them this early down there.

Water temp got up over 58 in spots last week before it got cold and when that happens some of those males will get shallow and get the house ready for mama.

Finally got out for a couple hours yesterday in the river by the house. Lost three on a buzz bait (black) in 3' or less. Water on the white is really brown and warm: 59.5°-61°.

I planned vacation for today and tomorrow. Hoping I picked the right two days, as I am about to hear back to the same spot today and see if I can keep any stuck all the way to the boat.

Good luck buddy, I'll be interested to hear how you do.

Thanks for the report QB...

My goal this spring is to spend a little more time on Beaver.  Working from home, it is too easy to head out for a couple of hours before I start my day (took a conference call and answered some emails from the boat at Big M last week!)  Going to see if I can figure some things out on the mid-lake area...

Well..... I caught a handful of lil guys.

All in 5' or less. 3 or 4 on a shaky head / brush hog and the others on a drop shot. All but one came out of the same culvert down by my house. Water got up to 63° by the end of the day. One more vacation day tomorrow. I think I'll put in at Prairie Creek tomorrow.
