Quillback Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Got to go fishing with Mark today, and sure was a good day to be out on the water. A little chilly to start, but became halfway decent by late morning. It was a quality over quantity day, we had 15 or so, but I believe 8 or 9 of them were over the 15" mark. No giants but some chunky fish in the 2-2.5 lb. range. Mostly smalls with a few spots and one largemouth. Best baits were Keitechs and Ned rigs fished slow on the bottom in 10-25 FOW. The back of Indian creek is filled with 2 inch shad. An area maybe the size of two football fields. From the top down to the bottom. You'd think there be a bunch of finny predators chowing down on them, but we only caught one spot amongst all those shad. Never saw anything on the fish finder but shad, the eaters just weren't there. Some of the shad are dying, but it is a very small percentage. I really expected to see a lot of other fishermen out there today, but we saw 3 boats total all day, and we covered a lot of water. WT 45-47 nomolites, bfishn, rps and 7 others 10
