Deer creek magic.

[Freakyfisherman]

I launched the old fat cat float tube this morning at 630. Calm conditions with 65-degree surface water temp. I caught 15 little smallmouth bass and five walleye. Three of the eyes were 16-17 inches in length, and two of them were 28 and a half inches long. My personal best walleye from Deer creek. I caught the two big pigs back to back. I have never caught that many big ones in one trip.  The smaller eyes were a lot more feisty than the big ones, although the big ones did not come in easily. I was doing my usual jig fishing with minnow-shaped soft plastics on 1/8 ounce jigs. Bouncing the jigs off the bottom and worked slowly was the magic ticket today.

Wow, that is a great report, sure don't read many reports of eyes that big being caught a deer creek, congrats. What colored jig head were you using?

Well done, son.

The water is almost to the new post they put at Charleston. Just where I like the water level.

The moss is not bad yet. The weeds are just starting to come up, not in full force yet. I fished the east side of Charleston.
