I went today and found a creek that had fish willing to play. They were holding tight to the bottom. I would pitch out, let the bait get to the bottom and work it back to the boat "bottom bouncing" they would hit it like there was no tomorrow.
I hold my rod still at 1 o'clock and give the reel a full crank. Let the bait settle and repeat until the bait is back to the boat. 1/8oz blue jig head #4 hook with a small blue/yellow jig body.

Nice.I am going to go looking saturday

Nice work. Hopping along the bottom seems to be working very well on my creek as well.

Very nice! Those fish look familiar.

Gonna be fishing the creek near ten mile bridge by eagle mountain around 1030 - 1100, I'll report back if I catch any. Best I can do is try lol

good luck
I get off work at 3 tomorrow. I am going to try to find a creek to get a few hours in before dark
I wish there was one close to Irving where I work

Only managed to catch 2 little ones and a big ol drum lol. Talking to some people there that had fish on their stringer, I apparently fished the wrong side of the creek. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I guess sometimes you can take a horse to the water but you can`t make him drink.

Fished Hickory Creek from old Alton bridge down and 2499 up.... not a damn bite. How on earth are yall finding fish in the creeks??

Fishing is slow in most creeks right now and the bite is late to get going meaning they should have already moved weeks ago. In the few creeks, I have fished I have found them tight to the bottom.

Fork: Graphed a bunch in 25-30’ water off main lake point on/relating to the bottom while bass fishing today - confirmed with a small jigging spoon...

With all creek fishing, it takes time to learn the creek you are fishing and where the fish are holding. Out of a whole creek I would only say about 5-10 percent of it is productive and the rest is a waste of time. Every year is different based on water level, weather, fishing pressure, water clarity, etc. After you fish a creek long enough you know that based on certain conditions the fish should be in certain spots. The only way to learn this is time on the water and you will have plenty of skunks. Back in the day, I would be happy catching one fish from the creeks and now I can go out to one of the 10 or so creeks I fish and catch good numbers on the slower days and even limit on the good days. This has all come from time walking the banks over the years and trying to add a new creek each year. I hope this helps.

Yep!
