Creek Fishing is on FIRE!

Been fishing the creeks both in the hill country and southcentral Texas. The bite is on FIRE. Catching good numbers of quality Bluegill, Redear, Redbreast, and Hybrid Sunfish. Most of the fish are in the 8 to 9 inch range with a few going into the 10 inch range. Also catching some nice LMB all in the 1 to 3 pound range. Spawn is going on and the fish I have been catching are holding tight by weed/grass beds in 3 to 5 feet of water. Been fishing from 9am till 2pm. Most of the fish were caught using worms with both float and bottom techniques being used. Gulp Alive Worms were also used with good results. Some of the fish caught were taken to the dinner table by my good buddy Steve. The creeks I fished need a lot of RAIN but are holding up. Creek fishing in Texas. It just don't get any better.

Good "BUCKET OF FISH" Chuck. You & Steve have them dialed in as always...

Thanks Steve! The bite is extremally good right now. Pray for RAIN! We need it. Raindance X3.

Solid post Chuck!

Awesome!

Very very nice

I always love the diversity.

Great post Chuck lots of nice gillz

Thanks pop r, Z71, F4 Gator, stoneman2, Barry, and Yesenia for the replies.

Are those like greenie X longear hybrids?! I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like it!! Excellent!!!

Thanks Torry for the reply. I think the Hybrid Greens are a Bluegill mix. It could be Longear as well!



Side Note: There is a lot of inner breeding going on the sunfish family!

no sweeter meat can be had.

bon appetit

Thanks Real Texan for the reply. Yes Sir your right. "No sweeter meat can be had!"

You have them dialed in on the creeks for sure. Good job guys.


Side Note: During the summer times especially with all of the record heat, what time is the best Bluegill (sunfish) bite?

Thanks Gitter for the reply. For me I am getting good results from 7am till 11am. For the most part I am usually heading home around 11am due to the heat.

Thanks Chuck. I do not blame you for wanting to be heading home around 11am. It usually heats up after that. I am talking about temperatures not the fish bite.

Nice post and some nice fish. Good job Chuck and Steve.


Side Note: What type of water bodies have you been fishing more on ?

Thanks Curtis for the reply.


Side Note: I have been fishing creeks the most. Followed by small rivers.

I sure hope the Hill Country gets some soaking rains the next few weeks. A few cool fronts would be nice too! I love fly fishing up there for sunfish and small bass from mid-September through late October!

Thanks BigAL33 for the reply. It looks like according to the radar that the hill country got a good soaking. Hope we get more.



Side Note: to the TFF! Looking forward to seeing more of your post.

Worms, worms worms. I say.
They come my way!

Thanks Chuck. Been Rivers and Lakes for me.
