Thanks! That’s very helpful.I love Indian Creek but with the off-limits area at Redstone only being a mile in from the river you can quickly run out of creek if the fish aren't in that mile during the winter. I seldom drop an anchor or stop moving. I'll pull into a laydown and jig around it looking for active fish then keep moving. Even if I catch a few and the tree is covered up with fish on my fish finder I'll start moving again in a few minutes without a bite. I've often fished Cotaco creek and only caught fish above or only below the bridge at Sharps Ford.
Once the water comes up a couple feet and warms into the upper 50's/low 60's the Crappie move heavily into Barron Fork Creek also. I hit Indian Creek much more then. FYI, I live in Madison off Slaughter Road so Indian Creek is very close for me also.
