    Default Kayak Trip Report Ditto Landing & Swan Creek


    I fished Ditto after work Friday keeping 9 Crappie and returning a dozen larger fish. All fish came off single pole on isolated laydowns.

    Saturday Morning had time for a short trip back to Swan Creek, only added one Crappie the size I like, but returned 12 or 15 larger fish in the 12-to-15-inch range using single pole again on isolated laydowns. I spent most of the morning looking for Gills. Found a few beds with no fish, but found Gills in the area. I think they're just getting starting and the rain and cooldown slowed them down a bit. I kept 20 that were 9 to 10 inches and returned several Bass.

    The water in Swan is back up about a foot and 77 degrees. Muddy near the train tracks, but clearer back near the launch point.

    Little bit of everything, small spinners, jig and bobber. I tried Redworm on the bottom in the areas with beds, but only got two that way. The Largest are coming off a 1/32oz jig head with a z-man baby ballerz body in Chartreuse and White. That's the same bait the Crappie are coming off of.

    Default Kayak Trip Report Ditto Landing & Swan Creek

    I found some on bed my last trip casting the banks looking for crappie. I had red worms which I tried after I caught one. Then tried 1 inch sliders. They would hit it but couldn’t get a hook set. Switched back to what I caught the first one on,a Bobby garland baby shad in may fly. They were devouring it but nothing else. Kinda strange to me but I probably caught 15-20 on it. Three 9-10 inch but more small ones.
