Had the day off yesterday and was fishing rain or shine. Only one other boat at the ramp, a crappie fisherman, and the only boat I saw for the entire day. Packed some extra safety gear in case I got stranded and hit the water around 11 a.m.





Caught 14 fish for the day, largest 5 lbs 1 oz. Most on hollow belly swimbait, the others on spinner bait. Tried topwater, t rigged worm, suspending baits... not a tap.









A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

Water looks really clear. Surprised you could find water like that on Palestine

Yes, Flat Creek, and the water was surprisingly clear compared to Kickapoo, where I normally fish.


Lots of shad flickering around on top.




Caught this one with 4 inches of line out and tight drag... most exciting fight of the day. Missed several more as I was lifting bait from water.


I remember hearing about the fish having puncture marks on them. Caught several like this.


On a brighter note, someone is selling their place with nice dock.

I have no idea what is causing it unless it is a flesh eating bacteria. Below is another one caught that day.
