Bluff Creek

[fishingram24]

Another nice day on the water, in at 8:15, out at 4 with 8 legal fish and a dozen shorts plus a big grinnell that absolutely destroyed a 9 dollar spinner bait. Water was 2'+ higher than late last week and rose most of the day aided by a rising tide and a strong south wind at 10-15 mph plus the river at flood stage pushing the water almost 2' into the marsh again. Water temps hit 65 by afternoon and air temps in the mid 70's with a mix of clouds and sun, visibility was 1' in most areas. Caught a few on a 1/4 oz. spinner bait and most pitching a T rigged watermelon red Zoom worm right up against the marsh grass with a 3/16 oz. pegged weight. Still no bigs but a couple of 2's did show up today. With continued warm temps forecast and the river just starting to fall next week looks great but only have 2 days available to go due to doctors visits for Dad and myself. Hope to get in at least one day and find some bigger fish.
