Green River 10/24/21

Had a really good day yesterday at green. We put in at snake creek boat at daylight. Never left the creek was back home before dark with a 2 person limit. Fish were up in cover very tight. All fish were in lay downs and brush. Had to get up in it. Fished some stumps no luck. Found a rootball caught up in the stumps and caught a few. One being a really good one, little over a pound and a half. Water temp never got over 65° for us but we never left the creek. All fish caught on jigs, they weren’t very picky. We used several colors and profiles caught fish on all.

Pic below of the big one I got. I’ll add a pic later of the mess we got too they on ice waiting for the knife later.

Nice fish, congratulations on a fine day! I have Green on my lakes to fish next year.

Congrats! Thanks for the report.

Double D ... good job !! I've fished Casey Creek, and a little ways up Green River at the juncture of the two, but not as far up river as Snake Creek. Actually even thought about running up to Casey & fishing, when I was there this weekend, but opted to stay around the Holmes Bend > Corbin Bend area.

I'm still not sure why the fish are hunkered down in the brush so tight, with water temps where they are ... any ideas ?? On my last trip and this past trip I found myself running to what I thought was a brushpile in the distance, on my Livescope screen, only to find out it was a massive school of Shad. Even they were much deeper than what I'd think they'd be at this time of year, and at these water temps.

Nice fish

Nice catch and good report

Not sure about it honestly. Definitely a different fall this year. For me anyways. Seems everything is running behind schedule compared to last year. We found 15 keepers on Robinson creek end last Sunday evening tight in a lay down. So we took that approach yesterday. That said I’m still learning. I’ve pretty much always been a “spring fisherman” until last couple years since I have my own boat now. Still figuring a lot of things out myself. ??*??
