Finally got the boat out...

Got to go fishing in my boat this past Sunday. I had about 2-3 hours to fish and the weather was moving in real quick. I decided to fish the Crow Creek area of the river. The area I targeted would be shielded from the predicted 15-20 mph winds from the south. Nevertheless the water resembled creamed coffee rather than river water. I decided to fish it any way. Found an area that had 4-5ft water bordered by 2ft all the way around. My strategy was to catch spawning fish in the flats using the deeper water as a highway.




Didnt have any takers off a XR50, Jig and a t-rigged lizard. Moved to the back of the creek in shallow water but it was too muddy to fish, did find some nice green grass growing back there so I marked the area with my GPS. I will be making a return trip there in the summer.




I decided to hit some hunny holes in the past, turns out that the southern winds made it impossible to fish the area so I moved to some super shallow water. Caught some good size keepers in less than 2 ft of water with the best about 2lbs then I dropped my camera and killed it I guess so I only got one fish pic. Water temps 57-61 deg
