Palestine 1/26/20

Late start today and didn't feel like driving far so I went to Palestine, Kickapoo. Water was like glass, beautiful day. Did no good further up the creek and fished my way back to the bridges. Not a bite for hours throwing everything I had. Late in the day caught my first, then a second, then a third. Dry spell for a while and then a fourth as I was paddling in. Nice sized fish for a change. Water temp was 54... looks like the lake has come up at least a foot since I was last there. Very little bait up the creek. Deep cranking the Bandit caught all four in about 6 to 8 feet of water on edge of creek channel/ old bridges.

Sweet!!!

Nice job

Not bad! Any fish this time of year is a win in my book.

Very nice! I like that crankbait a lot.

Very nice!

How was the water clarity?

A little better than you would expect for Kickapoo after the rain we had. A least it was better than I expected. I could see my paddle blade about 10 to 12 inches down. Still a little current coming under the bridge.

Not too bad! Thank you for the response!
