Thread: Kayak Trip Report, Ditto Landing

Fish were scattered and caught casting a 1" slider on a 1/32oz jig head fished slow and deep.

Ditto is clear with visibility of about 18" and the water was down to normal summer levels.

Huge gills, nice catch

Good job! I pulled out my little box of 1”sliders today that’s been laying around for a couple years ! Man I wished I’d tried these earlier the fish love em ! And now so do I! They work great!

Congrats on another awesome trip DB! You are always filling the box it seems.

Not sure what it is about those 1" sliders, but the gills and Crappie both love them.

DB you definitely have the gills dialed in. I appreciate your reports and pics.

Is Aldridge creek considered part of Ditto or does Aldridge Creek stand on its own as a destination?

Years ago there was a dirt road that went under the Parkway and dead ended at a swampy area. I think I saw a gate blocking that road today when I drove thru Ditto Landing. Can you get to that back water and if so does the area have a name? It has been 25 yrs or more since I was back in there. Still remember the stringer of crappie a guy in a small flat bottom boat carried out of there one day when I was fishing with no luck from the bank. Not sure I would eat anything from that area but I wouldn’t mind catching them.
