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

Thanks! I'm anxious to get out there and catch some fish.

yea me too i think im going to try saturday

weather looks like it'll be right: barometer should be low with the possible showers

How about old fashioned directions? Take 377 North from 114 (right there where the Wal-Mart is) go about a mile and where Denton Creek crosses there is a bridge with a parking area (Rugged) on the North East side. Follow the trail back to the creek and start exploring. It runs miles in both directions. Holler back if you find anything.

Where do you park your truck?
