Guist Creek

[demodan]

Thanks for the tips! I'm sure I won't be able to stay away too long. It's just a great little lake for my 14ft john boat and having a decent population of lunkers makes it tough to give up. My latest thoughts were to try shaky head finesse worms or smaller bass jigs with small plastic trailers in hopes of tempting some timid bass. I never considered laying off the trolling motor and shutting off the depth finder. Maybe my luck will turn! As my buddy said after I released that 4lber last year, 'that one fish probably caused us to waste time on this lake for another two years!' lol.

YEA....everyone I know, wants to go to the moutian lakes..where they can also get into the smallies...that will come for me soon enough. I just have a feeling, that those big pigs in Guist Creek...will move up sometime this weekend...to get a little sunshine on their shoulders...They will enjoy the rays...shooting through the water, warming them up a bit...And I won't have to spend over $75 bucks just in gas to do so! I bet you that the 6 pounder is still in that lake (there are some 10's!!!)...and she is fat as a bisqet right now, feeding on the shad die off. They will eat...just have to put it right in their face...I like your idea of the smaller jig eddie_m....now your on to something dude!

Got one bout 6 lbs in that lake and several 3-4's. Thats a "hoss bass" lake for sure.

An 8.51 toad was weighed in at one of the USA Bassin tournaments there last year. I was amazed! It was fat, looked like it had swallowed a bowling ball, eyes bulging out, and half of its tail was hanging on by a little bit of skin.

The 4lber I caught last year had a huge knot of shad in its belly. The bass definitely eat well at Guist. I'd love to see one 8.51lbs. What a hog!

You can catch the 'Bigguns' in the Spring for sure.. I think that's the best time!! Through the Summer, It's a Night time bite... Last year was pretty good just because it was so stable all year, but overall... Spring or those great Summer nights.
