Feb 12, 2006- Joe's Creek off the Elm Fork


Hickory Creek: January 11, 2009:


This is why i consistently state that the run doesn't truly die until about the first of March. If we revert back to "normal" or "below normal" temps for a week or two, it should REALLY crank up this last month of winter!! Also it's thundering outside-- let's let those rain gates open up!!!

I didn't include the white bass(except for one pic) in the creeks BEFORE the traditional spawn runs, or the black bass i catch in one local creek almost exclusively.

I didn't include crappie from places like LC either, because i was concentrating on creeks. Nor did i include pics from places like "the brickyard", because that can be duplicate on any baited deep hole in "pick a lake, usa". This was for the bank bound who hear doom and gloom about this yr's crappie creek runs. IT AIN'T OVER JUST YET FOLKS!

That's good to hear. I was at bachman today and caught lots of shad I did see some guys castneting for shad and there were so many two guys had to pull the net out of the water I have pics I just dont know how to post them from my phone my comp is broke

the shad aare quite thick above lemmon. Cormorants, Egrets and gulls are gorging all day long up there

Last year I caught them in the creeks till the beginning of May. They would come up in spawning waves. Once it got hot they were gone.

Winter time creek fishing is hard to beat. Thanks for sharing.

Its over for yall.....

....unless your out with me. -Just sayin.

OH PLEASE!!!!
