Suppose to fish a little tournament out of Indian Creek, but only 2 boats showed up. Reckon we are out of the loop. Had a little match between the 4 or us though. Fishing right tough, at least for me and partner. Sun came early and stayed out. Tried fishing points and small main lake cuts. Saw a few fish and had some follow ups on spinnerbaits and flukes. Tried a little topwater with no success. Tried to carolina rig some points but with the wind and boat traffic it was dern near impossible. Ended up catching 5 fish on wacky rigged senkos. 3 off docks, one off stump and one beneath overhanging bushes. THe 5 fish weighed 8.6lbs. Fellas we fished against had 4 fish at 6.4lbs. They had a 4lbsfish on a jig but came off as they were swinging it in the boat. Tough break! Other than the boat traffic and the trip back to Indian Creek it was a great day to be out. Tight Lines!
