May 9, Indian Creek

[Quillback]

Launched at Indian around 6 AM, things are getting busy there, the campgrounds are open and people like me coming in for a day of fishing.  The winter solitude is over.

There's some scattered striper top water activity over by Point 1.  Not a lot, but worth chasing if you're into it.  The first 4 or 5 blowups I had missed the bait, finally got an 8 lber. that hooked up.  That was it, once the sun came up, the top water activity pretty much ceased.

The smallmouth appear to be done spawning, they have left a lot of the banks I have been catching them on.  There were a few here and there, but nothing like last week.  My best bite was throwing a UV Speed Craw on a c-rig on points.  

Something back in the woods making a lot of noise, I suspect cicadas, but never saw one.

I’m bummed I missed that smallie bite on T rock.
