5-5-21 Flat Creek to Bridgeport

[aarchdale@coresleep.com]

Started off in Flat creek with Chocolate milk looking water and only 55 degrees, Gave up quick on the crappie and headed to bridgeport. Water wast 63 and a a green color, only a couple feet viz.  Threw a Choppo around some flooded brush and caught a couple real quick. Also threw a G5 crank and got bit on that too.  Found a black/blue/purple jig the other day in a bush and decided just to tie it on and see what happened, even left the trailer on it, looked brand new.  Caught 3 in bushes on that.   4 keeps and a handful of short fish for 4 hours. When i took out at Flat Creek the water had warmed up to 59-60.   Good luck guys, back to work for me for a week!

Also had a Blue heron dive bomb on my topwater, thank god he didnt get hooked.  And i saw 2 very large Beavers with 2 little babies up on the bank eyeballing me.

Do you have a notion of the amount of debris further down river - like down to Wooly or Piney?

I didnt go passed Bearden. I did talk to some people that launched at Cape and then packed up and relaunched at Flat.  They said it was a mess

Starting to clear up, but stay away from Cape Fair Marina! Lots of logs and debris!
