Don't have to worry about me catching too many of those crappie. I don't know much about fishing in Creeks or the Ohio River. So if I were to come up there it would be my first time and I'd be a total newbie for that kind of fishing. I'd be like a fish out of water.

I saw all the creeks in about a two hour drive and had a hard time telling you which creek is which right now. I have not had time to study them on the Google Maps. But the one at Rocky point had a lot of water near the Ohio River Creek Mouth. That creeks spreads out a lot and there are even some islands in the area near the mouth of the creek.

The creek up by Derby IN was pretty small from what I could see. Heck there is the Little Pigeon Creek down here by ALCOA. But that launch ramp looked worst than the one at Lynville Park as far as being slick with lots of green algae growing on the Concrete Launch Ramp.

I've read about those creek in the fishing magazines and they sound good in the magazines.

I've not been fishing with minnows much this year as this summer was so darn hot that I didn't feel like messing with changing minnow water every day. All my minnows that I bought early this summer died when I forgot to change the water in their bucket. Even now I have to keep the water cold just to keep the minnows alive. That's easier than changing the water though. All I have to do is drop a frozen water bottle into the minnow bucket every 12 hours.

I still have some work to do before I can upload the pictures from my camera to my computer and then resize them for this web site. Managing all my photos is getting harder as I get more of them on my computer. And I have a boat load of them from this last trip. I used a 16 GB SDHC card in my Canon EOS camera this time and it holds a lot of my high resolution pictures. Each picture is saved twice. Once a a RAW image and again as a huge JPEG file. So I've got 2x pictures to save for each shot I take.

I have to search though them to find the best ones to post online.

Good fishing to you guys. Hopefully it will cool down a bit.

PS: I know that the water is a little colder as yesterday evening the UE Outdoor Club was out at Otter Pit again blocking launch ramp with their canoe trailer. This time they setup again at the handicapped parking space and they also setup folding chairs right on the launch ramp for about two hours. Luckly no other fisherman or boats wanted to use the launch ramp last night. So the kids had a good time. Two of the girls fell into the water and got wet and complained about the cold water. The supervisor pushed their canoe a little too hard off the concrete launch ramp and they both leaned the same way and tipped the canoe over about 5 ft from the shoreline. LOL

They ended up in 3 ft of water and one got her cell phone water logged. I tried to tell her to take the batteries out and not use it for 49 hours while putting it in a bowl of rice to soak up the water but she didn't listen. She said it was still working. Perhaps it's a waterproof model? Or perhaps the circuits will fry later with more use. I know that if water gets inside the cell phone's circuit board it won't be Pretty. But they told me that the water was getting colder at least after 7 pm.

I've caught fish out of all of them so yeah if the fish are biting in one they probably are in the other. I've always fished live minnows. I have no confidence in jigs as we have always said that if they are biting on a jig you could catch twice as many on a live minnow.
