Second Hand Spring Creek 4/8

Post by GC » April 8th, 2004, 3:45 pm

My dad called to rub in his success, I'm at work and he's fishin'

...figured I'd fill yall in.

Currently they are fishing the mouth of the river (Spring Creek), staying in 3-5 feet of water. Using live shrimp with a CT. Also, trowing SA's (green with pink or silver bottom). Total so far...5 trout to 20", 5 spanish to 5 pounds, and 1 Flounder. Most were caught on live shrimp.
He said they tried out by the spring creek reef (big sand/oyster bar about 3 miles out)...wind was beat'n em up pretty bad and not a single hit.
Can't say on the water temp, old bottom machine on the old boat.

I'll post the totals for the day when he calls back!

Kinda makes me wish I were there!

This may be the first Real Time Report! This could be dangerous! We might all just head on out if we always knew that Right Now it was happenin'.

As one who was skunked, for the first time in a long time on a boat, at Spring Creek a couple months ago,

I am celebrating any action there,

let alone all that was goin' on this afternoon. Wishin' I had been there, but thank goodness for my other work that it's too late now.

There's nothing to add to the report. They said the wind got progressively worse and couldn't find a place to hide from it. They fished until 5:00 and didn't put another fish in the boat. Called it a day with 11 fish.
Gonna try it again today and tomorrow.

Nole...I've been skunked out of Spring Creek too....so there's proof it'll happen to the best of us!

GC, Be sure to post when you get the call today. Us at the office need to get incited for the trip tomorrow. 'course if the report is too good - I might start to feel too ill to work today and get Dr orders for some fresh air.

RB, I just got a call. They're getting a late start, but are in route to the south side of Spring creek reef to troll for some macks. Said the water is smooth and the weather is nice. They're supposed to call around 2:00 for an update. I'll post as soon as I hear!

Surely our webmaster will provide another CATEGORY for
real time reports!
It would make them easier to keep up with!
Thanks!
