My plan for the day was to fish the creek channels that run near Loyd Park.  I set six waypoints and trolled a crankbait through the channels.  I also jigged a road runner near any trees I happen to find along the way.  I didn’t get any bites, so i decided to go towards Walnut creek.  I was still trolling, and picked up a white bass while going to the creek.

I caught five bass in the creek using a road runner and a spinner bait.  I couldn’t find any pattern that worked, so I just fished around any structure.  Small bluegills were hitting my fly along the tree lines.

Tried one of the brush piles at Loyd park.  Caught a small white bass on the second cast.  The wind kept pushing me off the pile and I broke my cord I was using for an anchor trolley.

I moved over to the point next to the entrance to walnut creek and found some white bass chasing shad.  I caught three with a small white/black crank bait.  It was taking me way too long to remove the treble hooks, so I decided to remove the hook that sits under the belly of the bait.  I did’t hear or see any more action after that.

I didn’t find any crappie in the creek, just a few bass.  The water temp was 70 degrees, and the water was a little  stained, but not muddy like it was last week.

I have not been fishing for over a week, and today was my only day I could go before working the weekend.  I had to wait until around noon due to a line of thunderstorms passing through.  A bunch of white bass were sitting at the mouth of the creek, and I kept two of the larger ones. 

Moved on up the creek to check my normal spots for crappie.  Found a bunch of small ones in my best spots.  Pulled in a big one near a bunch of branches sticking up out of the water.  I usually pass by this spot, but decided to try it today.  Got a few more small ones from there and moved on. 

Went to the “spot” and pulled in two more big ones followed by a bunch of little ones.  It was dark before I knew it, but I had a good time.

I spent a few hours watching youtube videos on filleting, and I think I’ve got the hang of it.  Takes me about three minutes to get one done.
