    Default Milford 6-20-15 Report (Got whooped)


    I tried very hard today to catch crappie. Started at sunrise in the usual spots, wind and extemely (even for lately) dirty water made that too hard. Tried to find them deep vertically, no takers. Tied up in creek bays, walked the shorelines casting roadrunners, nothing. Tried minnows under bobbers, nope. Got desparate, thought maybe they might, for some reason, be way up in the flooded creeks. Went WAY further up Madison than I ever have before, well onto Fort Riley, really neat up there. Millions of shad up there half a mile from the lake; I haven't seen them so thick in a long time. But it was 82 degrees up there, main lake was 76. Still had fun, but got baked in the heat. We'll get em next time. Brad

    I never realized the creek was that big; how deep was it up there?

    it was about 5 feet at this bridge. Got pretty skinny north of the bridge, I turned around at 18 inches; I was by myself by then, didnt want to get stuck. Several down tree obstacles that the flooded conditions let me punch through in the old Sea Ark. I have always seen teal in the dove field on the pic, dive bombing the dove mojos(of course i never had steel) and came back there once for woodies, but I always drove in. I also didn't realize the creek would be like that.

    I don't have great info on that...I put in on a little used dirt ramp that is fine. But I did see plenty of boats on the water in Farnum from the bridge on 77. They're letting a lot (for Milford) of water out for last 36 hours, though.
