I met my buddy Chris at the public ramp in Drakes Creek, and we headed out for a half day trip. We started on on some marina slips, but no takers here (too early in the year). We tried the shallow bank grass in between the 2 marinas, but it was not working. As I trolled out of the grass cove, I decided to chunk the Zell Pop on the point, and a nice 2 1/2 lb keeper loaded up. From here, we eased out toward the mouth of the creek to a point on the upriver side. Chris caught our first fish of the day here on a crankbait, and he landed another one here too. One of the fish was a solid 3 lb class fish. We worked the area for about 30 minutes, and Chris nailed another solid keeper on the C-rig here.
We then ran upriver to the 2 foot cove, but we did not have any luck here. Next, we moved across the lake to Bluegrass cove. We fished a drop in the back of the creek, and Chris caught a really solid 3 lb class fish on the rig.
Next, we eased up to a narrow cut past Avondale, and we caught 4-5 more fish on a chatterbait and spinnerbait in the grass and around some docks. 2-3 of them were keepers but no big ones.
We went back down to a cove near the Avondale ramp, and we nailed two more fish there on plastics. One of them was a solid 2 lb keeper.
We decided to finish out the day in Drakes Creek fishing out off the bank more with a rig. We targeted points near the creek channel, and it was a good decision. On the first point near a concrete wall, I caught the big one of the day, which is pictured here. We also caught another solid keeper fish here.
We continued to run the pattern for the next 30 minutes, and we nabbed 3 or so more keepers, including another 3 lb class largemouth.
For the day, we landed around 12 keepers, and our best five would have gone around 15-16 lbs.
Great day on the water.
