Clinton Lake Rock Creek 9/16/09

[Ronald Meeder]

Tried out the creek yesterday, went past the logjam at least 3/4 of a mile. Water is in good shape, 75 degrees, few leaves are starting to fall. Used minnows, around stucture, now the catching part. One legal, five dinks, I know some of you do not agree with me, but DAMM EAST WIND. I just do not catch fish when the wind is out of the EAST. My boat is going to set in the garage until the wind changes. I will be working on electrial problem.

The Rock Creek King will be there on Saturday:D. I will give a report as soon as i get back. Lately the bite has been in the afternoon anytime after 2:00. All before the log jam.

Big Tate, maybe I should follow you and learn from you. Never to old to pick up from the masters.

OUT OF THE EAST, THE BEAST! OUT OF THE WEST, THE BEST!!!

wind just changes where they are. lately a lot of east winds but been fishing other than usual places and catching fish. fish are where they can eat...east wind moves bait to other areas. I like east winds cause it keeps a lot of folks off the lakes...less competition.

Would agree with ksfish, wind has been coming from the east northeast for days- and we are absolutely hammering them out here. The winds have been very light which is incredible because it can blow 15-30 for a month at at time.

I did manage to boat 15 keepers with the biggest at 14-1/2". Lately i've been catching all my fish on 2" Pumpkin/Chart Baeaver Tails, but they would not touch them. I had to pull out the 2-1/2 Red Chart Glow Chapman Creek tubes and pump it full of Crappie nibbles. All before the Log Jam, 5-6 fow.
