Thanks! I'm anxious to get out there and catch some fish.

yea me too i think im going to try saturday

weather looks like it'll be right: barometer should be low with the possible showers

How about old fashioned directions? Take 377 North from 114 (right there where the Wal-Mart is) go about a mile and where Denton Creek crosses there is a bridge with a parking area (Rugged) on the North East side. Follow the trail back to the creek and start exploring. It runs miles in both directions. Holler back if you find anything.

Where do you park your truck?

I don't think you'll have any problem figuring that out once you get there. With these sunny days I imagine you'll have plenty company. I park right there on the N/E side of the bridge. There is another parking area just South of there but it's more of a hike from there.

You ever do any good under/close to the bridge?

Hey Bill, I'm headed that way in a few mins I'll let you know how the bridge is. By the way it was nice meeting you yesterday.

We met yesterday? I was working Habitat For Humanity all day.

I didnt catch any near the bridge or anywhere on the creek that i tried but the creek looks good it has really steep banks though

Yes those banks have sent more than a few fishermen home early with soggy britches, me and a few of my buddies. Were there many people there? Sorry they weren't bitin. They will be.

What type structure, current, pools etc are you looking for when you fish the creek?

This link should point you right at it. Let me know if it doesn't work right. It's been years since I've fished here but back then I didn't know very much about fishing so I didn't have much luck, I intend to try it again soon.

You know how fish are, sometimes all you have to do is hit the water, other times a slow bumpy trip across the bottom will do the trick. D.C. is one of the few bank fishing spots I know of where you can catch a fish on every cast when they are stacked up in there. Guess they're still out in the lake (Grapevine).

sorry Bill wasn't you i met. It was GrassProJim. my bad.

I saw one guy where I was and he was gone really quick but there where a few trucks down the road by the railroad tracks

Yep, that other parking area will give you access to an area upstream from where you were. Just all kinds of great fishing spots on that creek. Might be out there tomorrow with the clouds gone and warmer temps. Word gets around fast so when they're biting both those lots will be full.

Can't miss my truck it's a 93 F150 dark red with 200,000 miles and lots of branch scratches down the sides. I like to go where few dare to go.

Are the fish biting?

I heard a good report Saturday that some guys limited out on whites and cats in the creek. I did see some good shad action way back in the shallows while duck hunting.

Jacky W thanks for the report. Were those guys banking or boating? I'm thinking about going up there tomorrow.

Well I go a minimum of twice a week, last day was Friday. Saw several other guys fishing, some with minnows some jigs. I saw no fish caught, the guy with the minnows had no bites, I had one bite that was it. I have caught no more than 4 on a trip this year. They are not in the creek yet, but I started nailing them the second week of February last year. Will not be long

They are in there already. Fished it twice last week by boat. Found water
temps 49-60 degrees. Caught Crappie and sandbass both.
2in sassy shad or 2in Little Fishy seemed to work equally well.

FYI- there is a new submerged tree west of the 377 bridge apx
200 yds east of the old submerged dam. It is not marked and you can't see it untill U are on top of it and high centered. It is in the direct center of the channel. I
tried but could not get pvc driven into the creekbottom to make it for others but I predict
it will eat more than a fair share of lower units/props as it
was in an area that had been safe to run on plane in years past.
Next time out I will take a jug and tie it onto it.
I got lucky, it only ate my transducer and I was only going
3mph when I ran up on it. I love my metal boat!

-Sniper

Sniper, how many did you catch any females? There are some sandies that stay in the creek year round but generally on the small side, I have caught them during every month of the year to some extent, but not near the numbers or size compared to when they make there run.

Thanks Sniper, any particular color?. I'm planning to go tomorrow morning. If anyone spots a crazy guy on a yellow personal pontoon using a trolling motor please say hello.
