Creek Fishing in Texas

[Sandwich Maker]

Crappie do some wierd things in some of our local lakes. They will head up creeks when the water temp drops into the 40s chasing the shad. Met up with a buddy Saturday and had a limit of 25 in an hour and 15 minutes. Deepest part of the creek is 7', fish were on the breakline at 4 1/2'. Only kept 11" and larger. Jig was blue head, white deer hair body in 1/8th, wtr temp 47, air temp 37-41.

I've been on a similar pattern myself. Then these last fronts iced the creeks over Now we've had a warm-up and I'll just have to give it a try. I sure like them creek fish, they're fat like me and taste better. Good job

I was on the wagon, but I've got to find another way into the creek. I'm too old to try and drag that thing up a steep. muddy slope. Going in the boat tommorrow.
