Indian Creek March 16

Recommended Posts

Fished with Dutch today , we launched at the Indian Creek launch at 0700 and fished until about 1 PM.

It was slow today, we caught 9 bass total, but on the plus side, Dutch caught a 3.75 smallmouth and another that went 3.  He got them on jigs.  I had one that looked to be a least 3, right at the boat that jumped and got off.  It was also a jig fish.  

I did catch a 2 lb. spot and  a 16" largemouth on a jig tipped with a half-Zinker as a trailer.  The "Pete Special" as I call it.  Snagged in Outlet caught a bunch of river fish on that, so I gave it a shot on the lake fish today.  @snagged in outlet 3

A few smaller fish came on the Ned.

We covered a lot of water with the bites few and far between, fish were anywhere from 5 - 20 feet deep.

Got a couple of pics of Dutch with his smallies, but for some reason, I'm getting an error when trying to load them.

WT 51-53.

Try it with a TRD.  The TRD floats so it stands up the jig.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.  Think about it.  That fish that got off had to be near 5, at least.

Still a good day, even with lower numbers.   

How is water clarity/debris?

Some places in the main lake in that area, you have 20 feet of viz, once you start getting in Indian it drops to 10 feet or so.  

Quite a bit of leaf litter and small sticks floating around with not much big stuff, but enough you have to keep an eye out.  May be more back further in Indian.

Sheesh, now I gotta buy more stuff.  😃

Don’t worry, I have plenty.   Remember that I have 20 colors.  Just name what ever you want.

Don’t you use TRDs or Zeros for Ned’s?  They float straight up.    Zinkerz sink right?  

Zinkerz float too.  If you stretch them out you can get a lot of the salt out and they float like a piece of foam.  Always have used Zinkerz for Ned, it's the old school Ned bait.  Somewhere on the site is a video made by Dtrs5kprs that shows a Ned being worked in a swimming pool with a Zinker.  The TRD is bulkier, so probably more buoyant.  From what I have seen, the TRD does not use as much salt.

I though going 3 was stretching it.  😃
