Indian Creek 7-30-24

Jeff and I met at 06:00 today looking for a top water bite.  We used my boat so we could survey the area with live scope.  There was scattered surface action and always too far away to reach with a cast.  After a while we switched to Keitech swim baits.  The fish were 30-35’ deep in 35-40 fow.  There was a mixture of lmb, spots, and whites but not as many as last time.  The one I could see on the scope wouldn’t react to my bait at all.

We also caught a few in other places but it was a tough morning for me.  We wound up with 10 whites and 6 or 8 blacks.  Jeff the swim bait guy caught most of them.  It was pretty windy.  Spot Lock was a lifesaver.  The water was 83° in most places.  The air was 78-89°.  Very few other fishermen were out there.

Thanks for the trip, a bit slower than it has been, but on the other hand it is a tough time of year.  We caught some nice white bass.

[Dan the fisherman]

Nice white!  Love making fish tacos out of them.

Dan I ate some of the whites I caught a week ago and they were pretty darn good.  I deep fried them and was surprised at how good they were.  I've eaten a lot of whites and those were the best I have ever had.
