I mostly used spinner baits or 3 inch power grub on jig head with a small spinner attached to it. But that's why I started using minnows here, artificials didn't seem to be working too well.

Caught both of these today at around 11-1130 AM on minnows again at Fossil Creek. I caught about 5 but only photographed the good ones. I didn't weigh or measure the first fish but the second one was 21 1/2 inches and just under 4 pounds..both fish looked about the same size to me. I'm wondering if there any Crappie in this creek, I haven't been able to catch a single one

Fort Worth decided to turn the Trinity... Talking about the Trinity, I was there last Thursday and walked all the way to the storm drain discharge under 30 and noticed 5 fishes just suspended next to that area. Two where white and the other three where just shadows. I threw everything I had (buzz, spinner, worm, jig) and nothing. They would just see the bait and stay there. For me, they looked like koi fish but who knows. Especially them two white ones. They where of nice size but wouldn't bite. Has anyone seen them before? It was an interesting sight, lol!

I've not seen anything like that, maybe they were just blinded by that purple dye Fort Worth decided to use a few weeks ago?!

Bassitup, are you feeling well? Too many beers make things appear much different than they really are!

The whole creek is frozen solid, except for under the bridge and further north where all the construction is. I'm glad I checked it out before I loaded up my car!

Your Welcome As of today, the creek is ice free, but I didn't fish it. I tried a couple of community ponds and got skunked in the rain/mist which is okay, I got out of the house more importantly.

Nice! If you see me out there, stop and say hi, I usually fish it on the weekends and I'm thinking of fishing it tomorrow.

I live close to Western Center, but haven't fished Big Fossil. Where is the best place to access it?
