Creek Report....

[redneckshadrap]

I got out to the usual spot Sat morning for about 45 minutes. Lots of noticable topwater activity. Fish chasing baitfish everywhere.
I used the Wonderbread and Green Bomb topwaters(APB's).
I ended up with 8 fish. Biggest 3 were a 14in smallie and 14,16in LM. The smallies liked the wonderbread and the LM loved the Green Bomb.
Later in the afternoon Mando and I sneaked over the hill fior about 10min just casting from the bank. We were throwing some jigs. No takers, of course. We did see plenty of fish.

Sunday morning I went to a different spot. Caught one 10"smallie on the Green Bomb. It was considerably colder yesterday morning.

Water in the creek is getting low. The Algae Bloom looks to be coming on. We need some rain. We have already seen some signs of irrigation getting ready.
Canoers and Yakers don't look for much water if we don't get any substancial rain. Once the Ky River gets low, the Elkhorn drains fast.

ONE NOTE::::

One thing you must remember about fishing in creeks, it can change from one stretch to another. What works in one place may not get a sniff in another place. Elevation crop, agriculture run-off..ect..ect is a big determiner.

Tried the Dix below the dam Sunday, but the cooler weather must have sent the bigger bass back out into the KY because only small 10" bass could be seen and caught.

Good to see you reporting again Billy. You have got to hook me up on some creek fishing with you all this year. Keep them reports along with some pictures coming in.

We'll get the pictures back up soon. I've got about another month until I'm fully moved to Georgetown. Once there who knows what might come up on the website....!!??!!>>>>

How were you working the w-bread and green bomb? Were the fish hitting them hard or just slurping them under?

The Wonderbread is a tad smaller than the Green Bomb.

I "Walk the Dog"(jerk the rod tip at a sharp,fast pace) at a fast pace with the Wonderbread. The way I do it, it has a side to side sweep of about 6". Every now and then I'll stop it. It "bobs like an apple.

The Green Bomb is much bigger. I "Walk It" slower(jerk the rod tip at a sharper(harder), slow pace)). It will sweep back and forth a good foot. And the same stopping momentarily...

The master APB taught me.

Nice report. Hopefully the rain we got last night will help some.

JCB,

Be interested how he did. Think I'm going to pull the kids out of school tomorrow and take them out to the creek. It's not like they're learning anything this time of year anyway. )

Three of us hit the main stem around 5 pm. Water was still low with little evidence of the rain except for a touch of color. Pretty dang cold, especially with the wind howling. We only managed two small bronze fish, one on a slider worm and the other on a CC salty spider. I threw some of my homemade topwaters for the most part; prop bait, pencil popper, spook and regular popper. Got a "bump" on the pencil when it landed in one swirling eddy off a quick water chute, and had another "slap" at the prop in another calm water eddy in a different pool. No pull downs. I had a few taps (redeye-ish) and a couple machine guns hits on a silicon jig-n-pig. Both fish were caught in some flowing water. We saw no bedding fish, but that doesn't mean they aren't doing it somewhere else.

Good Luck!

.... We only managed two small bronze fish...

Thats cause we hit it earlier and stuck most of them for you Hit around a dozen each, mostly topwater stuff. Several decent ones (12-15 inches). Prop bait was working well in riffle areas. Today was a different story, only managed 4 between the two of us.
