Brought in 47 keepers, threw back at least 20 shorties (to include some under 10” as we were hunting the bigger ones by the afternoon), and caught another 20-30 stripe/bluegill/channel cats. They were staging in 6-8 FOW holding to stumps on the bottom. There was no wind to speak of. Couldn’t have been a more perfect day. I’ve talked to him every day since then (Tuesday) and he’s caught 30 each day. It is absolutely on fire over there right now and should be for another week or so. I’ve got the fishing fever now!

I fished for a half day On Monday and only had 14.

I have considered becoming one of those guys.

Just curious, are you talking about bear creek that's part of Pickwick? Or are you talking about one of Upper Bear or Little Bear TVA lakes on the actual creek? I just moved to the shoals area and am trying to sort out what people are calling what.

Yes they are speaking of the Bear Creek just across from Waterloo on Pickwick Lake. Those other Bear Creek Lakes and Cedar Creek Lake are part of The Bear Creek Development Authority Or "BCDA" lakes west and south of Russellville Al.

I went down Sunday afternoon for a few hours and had 31 keepers not bad I didn't think for the middle of the day pulling jigs.
