Another catch in Fishing Creek.
Fishing Creek was hot with action Saturday and Sunday. Stripers were actively feed nearly all day and shad was in abundance. Seagulls were evening feeding on the ...more schools of baitfish. It was a sight to see!
Caught 15, including this ole chunker. Chartreuse spinnerbait and Fire tiger crankbait.
Caught several up in Southfork past Burnside. Smallies, Lg mouth and KY's.
Caught up the arm past Burnside about 4 miles. Had two broke off, they were hitting good before the storms arrived. (Very windy day)
Caught several on a jig and Lemon shad fluke.
Caught several on a Pumpkin and Watermelon jig around Burnside Marina area. Caught a mixed bag of Smallies and Spots on top-water early in the morning.
Caught in Fishing Creek near twin buoy cove. (1/2 mile north of needle point on the left side going towards Lee's Ford) My son caught it on a white booyah spinnerbait ...more in about 5ft, slow rolling.
My buddy Mike Middleton and I launched at Waitsboro and went about 10 miles up the river towards Monticello. Fished off the bank in and out of timber. Caught about ...more 10 total on jigs, worms and flukes. Tried spinnerbaits and crankbaits but they wouldn't hit. Plastic was the ticket.
Had it on a weighted swim bait hook. Just lifting it lightly and letting it fall to around 10 ft up in Pittman Creek, just passed the bridge.
We use the Fishing Creek, Lee's Ford and Needle point ramps.
