Yeah, whatever. Moving on.

The creek is up over 3 feet from last night rain. Should be good in couple days. Muddy creek should be good too.

Too many people on this forum complaining about all the little things. Just go out there and fish! It's a big creek, there are hundreds of holes to fish and they all hold fish. Keep in mind that not everybody is on the same skill level or awareness level. If someone is standing over a hole or getting to close, just move... Anyways... Bite was good in the morning (fished from 10-12) yesterday. All caught on small jigs. Afternoon bite was Much slower unless you're cheating aka using minnows.

Picture is not showing for whatever reason. It's nothing special. Just a stringer of about 15 sandies and a couple hybrids.

If you rigging up to go out tonight, you should probably rig up some rock climbing harness, a life jacket, and a flare gun.

It really does make a difference. Just set your drag appropriately, and tie good knots. You'll break off some, but the increase in catch rate is more than worth it.

The CFS is over 1000. I wouldn't touch that creek for at least another 2-3 days. Unless you like fishing in doodoo water.

oh heck no i'm not going after a fresh rain. hellllll no....i learned that years ago when i almost had to spend the night out at rowlett creek. i went down there with just tennis shoes and my fishing gear and it rained pretty hard. a buddy and myself were stuck in a steep area and we couldn't get out and it was so hard to see with the tremendous amount of rain coming down. we had to tuck ourselves under a tree to cover up and after the rain he had to boost me up to get hold of a branch to get a rope

does the lighter line give more action to my lure?

Yep. It even makes a difference using minnows. It's just so much more natural.

I plan to make a visit tomorrow. One of my good neighbors loves fishing and want me to take him for some white bass action. Would like to wait 2-3 days by the rule, but time doesn't work out for both of us. I am no expert, but i can catch a few in good days when condition is ideal. Hopefully, i run into Jimmy to show me some light, otherwise, I will be depending on MoonDinger to perform. Thanks for the tip, I will use 4lb line.
