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.

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.
