Oct. 16 Indian Creek

[Quillback]

Fished from dawn until 1130.  I couldn't find them, and the ones I found were reluctant biters.  The drop shot that was working a couple of weeks ago, was not working today.

After not catching hardly any, I started pulling a Keitech around, throwing it behind the boat and trolling it using the trolling motor.  Picked up a few smallmouth and a small striper trolling over 40-50 FOW.  Caught a couple of smallies on top too.

Ended up with 8 smallmouth and one striper.  No size to the smallmouth, biggest was 14".

Not much striper activity, there's a few chasing shad.  I didn't see any striper guides which is an indication the striper fishing is better somewhere else on the lake.  

WT 70.

Friday I seen several guides in the Pt 5 area …a guide on Facebook said pt 5 to PC is the best area for stripers now.

I like fishing around point 5, but it is a long haul from where I launch.

Tough days happen. Next time, right?

Jeff nice looking striper from a tough day of fishing. Still a lot better than being at work. You get on more next time!

I almost skipped out on church yesterday and was gonna call you and see if you wanted to go fish somewhere. I chose a beautiful day Saturday to not go fishing as well! Football officiating is catching up with me and I did a bunch of nothing this weekend since I didn't have a Saturday game. The Beav and TR should get real good pretty soon with this cold blast coming in.

Yeah let's go sometime, I have family in town this week, but after that I'm pretty free.
