I love this thread. What kind of bass are these in your creek? Ozark? They don't appear to be largemouths

Spots and a few largemouth. Water is still clear and getting clearer. 

WE hardly have ANY water in our creeks right now.

Nice catches.  some of my most productive days are at the local creek.  Up here, we have Smallies in our creek.  Never saw a LMB in it.  Always go creek fishing with several Rebel Wee Craws and a few Marabou jigs.  Our Smallies love those two lures.

Hit up the creek twice today. About 10:30 this morning...nothing.

Went back up after dinner around 7:00pm. Stayed about a 1/2 hour, finally hooked one, saw some minnows scampering, threw the rage lizard on a swing jig, boom. Got dark, went home.

I caught this poor gal last weekend, she hit a popper first thing in the morning and didn't even put up a fight. It was a long fish with a big head (I was able to fit my fist in its mouth) but it was horribly skinny. I have never seen such a skinny bass, I didn't have my scales on me but I highly doubt she was over 1.5 lbs.

caught a few skinny ones myself lately. I'm guessing the heat might have something to do with it...?

Hit it up this evening. Tied on a swing jig with a d bomb. 2nd cast got a bite...a little too much set in the hookset, came back with nuthin...

no other action. 

Went up today around 5pm. Not much action for awhile. Got hung up/broke off, switch to the structure bug, reeld all the way in, was sitting in the water in from of me...saw a bass honed in on it right at the shore and BAM, hit it like a freight train, and spit it out, watched it in slow-mo. Threw some more, got hung up and broke off again, tied on a white spinnerbait, this time a big ole bowfin hit it, landed it, he got hooked through the bottom jaw...he ended up flippin' himself off the hook, tossed him back and headed home with a victory. Better than doing yard work.

Hit up the creek  this week. Caught a decent sized bowfin on a black berkley power bait worm. 

Nothing else the past couple trips, thought I saw a big sucker fish today in front of me sucking up mud...

Threw lizards and some other stuff. nothing. Was hoping the bass would have moved up into the creeks...no bass for awhile. 

windy around 10-15 mph, sunny and 70 degrees. Headed home to do "chores".

Hit up the creek a few times this week. Lost a decent one the other day....hit it up this morning, caught a dink chain pickerel, must have been a few down there, lost a worm tail and a lizard tail on a couple of bites. Nice day 75, sunny and light breeze.

Throwing a watermelon red flake  t-rigged trick worm. He inhaled it, had to do some minor surgery, swam off like a boss.

No other action, beautiful day here in NW Flo-rida:

Got bored this morning...decided to head to the creek and see what's up. We have had a torrent of rain this past week, and I was not sure if the water would be too high. Well, it was worse than I thought, I could not even pull my truck off the highway, literally. The water was 100 yards on either side of the creek, might be a couple of weeks until it subsides, more rain forecast for next week.

Guess I will have time to reorganize all the christmas fishing stuffs. 

Any luck since??

I'll be going to FL soon, hopefully enjoy some fishing. I've been itching.

No, still raining here. I think this morning was the first in almost 2 weeks we actually had sunshine. More rain forecast for the rest of the week.

Aside from that, been working, no time.

creek is down to "normal" levels. Hit it up after work, caught one about 1.5lbs on a blackberry brush hog. No other action.

Better than nothing.

hit it up after work today. For fun, I did try out a frog, that thing has got some action, and the gurgling wake is a bonus. No hits on it, but I'm sure when the season is here, it will be tied on my line first thing in the mornings. After that, put on a watermelon flake zoom lizard, got one good bite and missed him. Oh well. Try again this weekend.

good luck

 

I hope to hit a pond sunday morning

hit it up today around 11. Sun was up, beautiful day. Threw structure bug til I got hung up/broke off. Switched to a junebug zoom lizard.

Nothing. Stayed about an hour, figured I would head home to get the leaves up in the yard.

Hit up the creek several times this past week, and today. No bites at all. Air temp about 52, sunny and light winds. Stayed about an hour. 

Hit up a small lake up the road today. Never had any luck there...and still don't. Too much grass for t rig or c rig. Threw a red eye shad for awhile...too much grass for that too. Threw a keitech swimbait...Nothing. A few boats out, talked to one guy, said he caught some big ones last year. Don't really like driving an hour to this place, got bored. Almost 20 years I have tried fishing at this place...not often, but once in awhile. Never even got a bite yet. 

Where abouts do you live in NW FLA ? I was born and raised in Lillian AL and Paradise Beach FLA!! My dad and I fished the Perdido River, the Escambia River, Tensaw River-Live Oak Landing, Soldiers Creek, Miflin Creek, Sandy Creek..... Our favorite March camping trips were to Roland Cooper State Park on one of the locks of the Alabama River, Someone was guaranteed  to catch a 7# plus....

Cantonment

Hit it up after work today. Throwing an 1/8 shakey head with a watermelon trick worm. Got windy...3rd cast, reeling in, thought I got hung up, did not feel a bite, but surprise, caught a decent sub 2#er. No more action, light started to fade....and I didn't even lose a rig today. I just had a feeling that shakey head would not last more than a few casts, but I came home with it still on. yay shakey head.

No bites today, and I lost the shakey head...:(
