Bass Fishing on river near Newburgh

[Atevault]

Has anyone been bass fishing lately near Newburgh or Evansville? I was wondering if you can still get into Cypress Creek and if so how far? Thanks

a buddy of mine fished Cypress last week and blanked. He has a tracker and it was hard for him to go far back in there. Alot of people have been fishing the island for some nice spotted bass.

Fished out of Yankeetown today for a couple hrs. Planned on goin out to the river for some spots but when I got to the mouth the rain and wind was starting and my motor wasn't acting right so I decided to stay in the creek. Managed a limit of keepers, 4 largemouth and 1 spot. Biggest 2 were a little over 14", lm and spot. Also caught several shorts, a nice crappie and a 3 lb drum.

Is that the little Pigeon Creek that you fished by Yankeetown at the ALCOA launch ramp on the creek by the old bridge?

How do you get to cypress creek. I mean where would you launch your boat to get there. Angle Mounds or Newburgh downtown? I can't remember if cypress creek is above the Newburgh Dam or below it.

Yeah that's the creek/ramp. Cypress creek is just south of there, just before the dam on the other side of Alcoa & the power plant.

Came back up the creek and started fishing at the bridge. Caught everything on 1 pass between the bridge and where a creek forks off to the right. Caught the 5th keeper at the mouth of that creek and went home.
