I use the same method as jeffnsa. I usually try both and go with what seems to work the best. If I don't get at least a nibble within the first couple of casts, I look somewhere else. If I know exactly where some are it can be easier for me to visually know I'm right on top of them with the float. Also I'll use one if I keep getting hung up or there's thick salad all over the worm hook every time I bring it back.

Jeff and Jigg, thanks. Appreciate the replies. Might need to start keeping two rods rigged up, I.e.,try both without having to re rig.

Thanks guys for the all the replies! Some great information shared. Nicely done.

Thanks "Dawgs Neighbor" and Chuck for the information. Got a feeling a lot of creek spawning fish were really moved around due to all the rain. Drove by two creeks this morning and they were flowing at full speed. Local ponds are over flowing.

Yes Sir Curtis looks like a very wet year is ahead. Break out the RAIN GEAR!

With all the rain we've been having here in north Texas...I've been pleasantly surprised with the consistency of quality fish from the same creek week to week. With the constant rise and fall it's experienced for the last several weeks...I would have expected more of a push out of the fish. Yet the greenies are staying put and still spawning in the same areas...just as aggressive as ever. Here's a few more from this past Sunday...plus some bonus bass...including a couple of toads. The creek has remained fairly muddy from the current with very few cleaner water areas...but I'm not complaining

"Dawg's Neighbor" those are some super fish. That creek is producing some AWESOME FISH. Good job Sir.




Side Note: "Gitter" I have never seen or caught a cross between a Green and Warmouth. At least I think I have not.

Awesome job. Every time I pull one of those green sunfish out, or see pictures like you posted, I think I'm looking at something out of an aquarium. Beautiful fish you caught, the bass aren't bad either!

Thanks "JigandJeep" for the reply. Been catching some pretty nice Greens this years. Seems that some of my creek spots are producing some good quality fish this year. Hopefully I can still find em after all of this latest flooding.

Awesome fish "Dawg's Neighbor"!




Love those Green's.

Yes Sir totally Agree!

Side Note: Also love all the other catches.

Thanks guys

Think I will give the creek another go this afternoon...maybe a few ponds as well.
The son in law called asking if I'd go fish today.

Enjoy the time! Creek fishing with family is hard to beat!
