Bought 100 live shrimp at BP at 10am or so.....Fished till about 2:30 and quit with probably 90 shrimp still in the livewell, and that's only because I was trying to freshen the bait up every once in a while.
Fishing partner caught one 23" red in 2ft of water back in C. Creek drifting trying to find a new hole. Tried lots of 8-10ft holes with absolutely no success. I personally never had a nibble , and the only bite all day for the both of us was the keeper red. We also rode down to the bridge at 98 to try for sheephead around the structure with no success.
Hope everyone did better than me....of course the one red was enough to make the other guy's day.
Best part of the day....afternoon eats at Spring Creek.
I tried trolling below the State park and found nadda eneded up fishing for Bass to take some meat home

Thanks for that report. I got skunked on the bay there a 2 or 3 weeks ago. I am sorry I didn't check out C. Creek that time. I have never boated up there and wasn't sure I wanted to try it the first time with my Bride being my only companion because I don't think she'd cotton to well to getting stuck up there. How did that part go for you? Was it easy going to where you were when you were in that 2 feet getting that red? Were you very far up? Out of sight from the bay maybe?
It's definitely shallow getting back into the creek from the bay, but once your in it's not bad at all. I do always watch the tide, as I don't think I could get out at low or close to low tide....without walking.
From the bay....maybe a 7 iron from the bay where the red was caught, but there's good fishing from the mouth all the way back.
