Creek Fishing|Hitting the Holes

In order to beat the crazy heat and afternoon storms, Matt and I got off to an early start. By the time I launched, Matt had already landed 4 fish.

We began targeting pockets in the slop. I had a slow start, but managed to pickup a couple.

Off to the creek we went. The creek which is lined up with different plants, butterflies and dragonflies, and wasps. Yup, WASP. This place is like a wild garden but with such great fishing. The action picked up immediately as Matt was slaying them. After a few pickups and some harassment by the wasps, I took point.

These two were caught back to back in the same hole. There was actually a third one which you can see in the video.

 This one had some growth of some kind under his bottom lip.

We tossed a mixture of lures, from stick baits to spinners.

As it got later in the morning, the heat began to pickup. We decided to call it a day. The trip back was not as successful as it was on the way in. But, going through the beautiful wild garden, seeing an eagle in action was cool enough as I just sat back and enjoyed the paddle back.
