Last week Jimmy and his friend Mike wanted to fish Deer Creek Wednesday night. We got on the lake around 4:30 pm. The wind had the lake in a froth with white caps and swells. We launched and went to Charleston Bay and went into the grass beds.
We were looking for the Largemouth bass that supposedly hang out in the weeds and grass beds. Mike, being a native of Nebraska knew what he was doing and started with a Texas rig punching through the mats. Jimmy and I tried various options, from topwater frogs to curly tail jigs. None of us got even a sniff. We fished the area and moved around for an hour and decided to go after the Smallmouth bass on the rocks.
Knowing where and how to catch them I went to shoreline and we started casting crankbaits. I tied a new lure and on the third cast had my fish online. Jimmy and Mike were still looking for their first bites. We fished the evening away running the rocky shoreline. Mike landed a Largemouth bass for his first of the night. Jimmy landed a smallmouth bass and we fished on.
Before total nightfall, Jimmy wanted to try the trout hit. We put on hard baits and started trolling. We trolled over to one of our lanes and changed lures and depths a couple times but got nothing. We ended the evening under total darkness, we had a great evening sharing laughs and catches.
