ARRIVED AT THE RAMP LATE 11:00, FISHED THE RIVER FOR AN HOUR, NOTHING. DECIDED TO GO TO THE ROCK GARDEN AND WORK MY WAY BACK IN COW CREEK I WAS MEET BY WHAT SEEMED TO BE A WHOLE FLEET LEAVING MY SECRET FISHING HOLE. I HAVE LEARNED ONE THING ABOUT FISHING SMALL SHALLOW CREEKS, BOAT TRAFFIC AND NOISY FISHERMAN WILL CAUSE TROUT TO HAVE LOCK JAW. SO WE HEAD OFF TO A SMALLER CREEK. WE SPOOK A COUPLE OF BLACK DRUM AND TWO SMALL REDS WORKING OUR WAY TO THE BACK OF THE CREEK (1.5' DEEP). I THROUGH INTO THE SECRET POCKET AND CATCH ONE 25" RED. WHILE WRESTLING HIM IN THE BOAT, WE WATCH ABOUT 20 LARGE REDS LEAVE THE SECRET POCKET NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.
I DONT FEEL TO BAD ABOUT NOT CATCHING ANYTHING, THE GOOD LORD BLESSED ME AND MY PAL THE DAY BEFORE WITH 25+ BASS. TWO WORDS - ROAD RUNNER. AINT WORTH A CRAP FOR SPECKLE PERCH BUT THE BASS CAN NOT STAND THAT THING.
