has anyone tried or have any reports of the fishing in denton creek!! looking to get into some action!! any and all info is thanked in advance!!

I went East atleast a mile from the bridge and got nada! Water was high (versus what I saw in the Spring) and I've got no DC game.

I was with fishybiz on the trip he wrote about. I took my toon and put in at Marshall Creek park a week or two before and saw a lot of fish on the Hummingbird but did not catch any. I want to go scout it again soon just to see if there is a winter crappie run there

still to early there, it doesn't fish the same as RC for sure.

So true buck.

When does the fishing get started there? Fished it 20 years ago but seems it was at the end of the sand bass run going into crappie time.

I'm kinda wondering the same thing No Net. I'm just getting back into fishing. I fished the sand bass run on DC last spring and it started around March I think. Some of the Grapevine old timers say the Vine is one of the late lakes for the spawn so maybe the crappie don’t move into the creek till Feb.

I'm fixin to move to Denton I'm just curious how to get to the creek from 35 and 377

Go South, it is a good 10 to 15 miles, or 35w to 1171 east, to 377 south, there's also the South Lakes Park ponds stocked with trout, in Denton.

Oh, Hickory Creek at Old Alton Rd is right there at 35e and Swisher.

Okay thanks I may give it a look in the morning.

nothing going on the creek crappies should show up in Feb

the last time i was there we hit the sandies but that was a couple of years ago!!

I went about during the winter break during school and heard someone unload a couple of rounds out there. Scared the carp outta me. It was close too.So if ya'll go, be careful. Oh, all I caught were small sandies.

late feb early march for the sandies east of the north bridge

I'm gettin itchy to do some creek scoutin. Probably need a little more rain followed by some warm days. Not everyone knows that the Blues also like to visit Denton Creek. I was there one day when a shad fillet was a fish on every cast, three pounds and up. One of the few days in my life when I actually caught all I wanted. Several in the 8 pound range and two over 15 pounds. Never forget that day.

Yes I want DC to get busy. I've made the trip to Rowlett and may do it again on Monday but Denton Creek is much closer to the house.

Yesterday I paddled my yak from Marshall creek ramp all the way to 377 yesterday fishing every brushy spot high and low with jigs of many colours....nothing (other than a workout).

Last year we killed them in there but the water is very different this year.

went down to creek by 377 brig. was a slow day but did get a few sand bass.water is up and looks good.

That's the kind of information I was looking for. If there are a few now then with these warm days it wont be long. Yee Haa

Whatlures/bait/techniques do you fish the creek with? I've been by there several times, but am new to fishing a creek like that

The absolute cheapest jig heads with a white or chartreuse curly tail grub. 1/8 OZ. On the right day a limit is no problem. Long as you can carry them out. That's the hard part.

Thanks. one more question, cast and retrieve on the jigs or floated with a bober? Or both?

cast and retreive!! i have found that roadrunners also work real well also!! good luck and hope this helps!!

can someone show me were this is on google maps
