Nov 19 Indian Creek

[Quillback]

Got on the water early, very little wind, a little chilly to start, around 50 degrees.

Did some bank beating to start, threw a Rock Crawler, dragged a jig - caught 4 smallmouth, one was a keeper.  Decided to go up Indian, but on the way there saw some stripers breaking and ended up pursuing them.  They were all around, but finicky.  Got one that went around 8 lbs. on a 3.3 Keitech, had one other on briefly.  There were a few smallmouth that were near the stripers except closer to the bank, and I also caught 4 more of them, 3 were keepers.  

The stripers were chasing small shad, I did not have anything to match those little one inch shad and they were ignoring anything else I threw at them.  I might go back for them this weekend and I'll be a little better prepared - small spoons ought to work.  Might bring some marabou jigs too.  

WT 62-64

Fun day. 

I went out just before knee surgery 2 weeks ago and had success using white war eagle spoon for striper, whites and LM.  I was snapping it hard on the rod up swing.   

Good luck!

Alright, you talked me into it. I'm going to Indian Creek today. Rain should be out of here for a while anyway.
