Alvin, i’ve got a long winded question for you! I’ve been fishing a creek by my house that has big fish in it (I broke off a 7 pound bass last fall). Lately I have had a hard time getting bites. They seem to be very very finicky (despite the fact that no one else fishes this creek) and won’t take anything. I’ve thrown everything from poppers, clousers, and even slowly drug craw patterns on the bottom (at all hours of the day) and haven’t caught anything. any suggestions for ways to catch bass in a creek like this?
I usually start with the 6 weight. I did throw the 7 with a sink tip for a little while. Here are a couple of videos. th-cam.com/video/2r-3cIyz3bc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/PZtfzVueEZc/w-d-xo.html
Here are the specs: 1652 Southfork MUDD with the Mercury 60/40 jet, custom sponsons/Float pods. Got it from Eberlin boats and motors in Hermann, Missouri
Jealous... I tried to get a river trip tomorrow so I could put it down as my last float trip of the Summer 2022. Struck out on finding partners to share the rowing and the shuttle....
@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing Well yes, I have had my share of good river days this summer, just wanted one more before summer officially ends. We have had a dream summer with lots of water in our smaller rivers. In the Fall, our Smallmouth fishing slows down but in my experience for fly fishing it goes to hell once the leaves start falling (Mid to Late October). However, our wild trout fishing kicks into high gear in the autumn. Spawning brooks, and browns, and amped up wild rainbows eating trout eggs. Then throw in bow hunting for deer and turkeys, and October does not have enough days in the month.
Even guides trout set sometimes! 😂
This makes me feel so much better 😂
Hard to beat a good bite with good friends! Love the sound design, A D!!
Thanks, that's one of the hardest parts.

@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing thanks, for some reason I thought it was an 8wt so you could pick up sink tips easily 👍
I go check it out now😉
What kind of boat is that? Doesn’t look like a hog island but definitely got the job done.

Well I would feel sorry for you Tony, but I know you had a few good days out there this summer. How is fall fishing over there?
