Water temp was 87 degrees as I headed up into Crow Creek to look for new water. The sunrise was unbelievable. The sky looked like it was on fire.
I wanted to try new water and look for cuts off the main creek channel for some spooning.
But tried some shallow points first and scored 14” spot on a Mikey, Jr. wakebait.
Hit another rocky point and got a 15” spot on a bluegill colored Sugartit squarebill.
Got a nick in my braid and the next cast I sent the squarebill sailing into the woods. Gotta monitor those nicks in braid.
I have been wanting to try spy baiting with a Duo realis g-fix spinbait.
I caught my first fish on it on a point, it was a little one, 13” but it was neat to catch one on a new technique.
Started searching for a cut with bait and found it in the back of Little Crow but couldn’t get any bites.
Worked my way back to where I left them in a cut near Keowee Town ramp yesterday and they were still there, but spread out more.
Spooned a solid 17” spot. Spy baited 3 14” triplets in the cut and spooned up a 25” flathead catfish.
There are a kit if threadfin shad in this pocket and they occasionally came up chasing and I was able to reach out and touch them with the spybait.
Decent day looking at new water and using a new technique.
