Daang Carey.. Time to pull out the waders.

Yesterday, I stopped at the Hell Hole to check out what was going on. No one had any Fish? Weird.
I was talking to a gentleman that was fishin there for the last 3 hours, and I asked him if I could rig his rod up the correct way after watching him for awhile cause I wanted to see if they were really there or not . ( he was using 20 lb line and huge weight and huge hook bigger than the minnow) -So, I put a 4 lb flourocarbon leader on his line and a small split shot, and a medium sized live minnow on a size #6 hook.
I showed him where to cast, and wouldn't you know it, he landed one within 2 mins.



I left 20 mins later and he had 5 nice mag sandies on the stringer. So with that said, they r there, u just need to fish for them my way I guess......?

Today's report: Morning trip



The fish started biting at 730 and quit at 10 am or so. The air pressure dropped 3 points and shut them down for a bit. Then it was a bite every 5-10 mins. Two man limit.

That's nice of you Carey to show that man wassup

It's nice of Carey to show us all wassup. I've been fishing on Denton Creek with the same setup doing well. -Fat

For nice Carey .. and thanks again for all the info you post.

Yesterday PM

Everybody had a chance to hold a stringer of a limit of Sandbass today!











Then, they all got to hold a limit of Sandbass up at the same time, together.



Minnows today.

Good looking oout, T-FLY !

Nice guiding tarpon fly...

Awesome job man. You are killing em.

I had the pleasure of fishing with multi-repeat guest Chance Doggie Thorn. She already knew how to fish so it was a pretty easy trip. When we got to the creek I explained where to cast and how to cast. I told her to target the shade seeing as to how the fish were stacked up in the shaded pockets. Within 45 minutes she had a limit on the stringer. She was throwing small flukes and minnows.

Great job Chance!

That is one Doggone fish catchin Dog!!

Damn Carey, even your dog can fish better than most of us!

Great reports as always, they are appreciated.

It just can't get any better than this.





Tiny flukes and minnows. The fluke bit was great today, so minnows were not used much.

If you think you are going to run your boat Up RC, all you're going to do is, spook the fish. You might as well walk in anywhere you go, to get to the creek. It would be a lot faster than trailering the boat out there and wasting gas puttering all the way there. As soon as your boat goes over the main school, you scatter them and they will not bite for very long time. If your adamant about taking the boat, go up the Creek anchor or Brushclip to something. Cast upstream and back to the boat. Don't go upstreaming and cast behind you, it won't work like that. Rollet creek is just too small for a boat to go up and expect to catch limits. You want to stay on the banks and cast in the deeper holes and shady pockets to land fish. Even a kayak will spook the fish. That's why I'm not in my one man pontoon boats!!!

The fish require moving water to spawn.. The river has Absolutely no moving water whatsoever, So they are not going to go to the river to try to spawn in huge numbers. There is a very very small population of them there now, But not worth sinking your boat to get all the way up there. Not all the fish go up the creeks. They're still fish in the main like for you guys to get with boats. If you do decide to go up the creek and river,be very respect full of the bank anglers. As you pass by them I guarantee you, you just pissed them off big time. So drop ur trolling motor when passing, Or I almost guarantee you you'll get stuff thrown at you. But I'll say it again, you do not need a boat to go up Rowllet creek. Some fish will be caught at the mouth but these fish are on the move to spawn so they're migrating upstream. The closer you get to shallower water, the closer you are to all the bank anglers
