BILLYsobx Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I know right where Cantonment is, we had friends that lived there.... We moved here to Eastern NC back in '94..... There sure are a lot of nice farm ponds and lakes down in that area... Some have some decent sized bass.. Well kinda neat to read a post from someone in the area I grew up in... Good luck with your fishing and watch out for those cottonmouths!!!!!! 1 Quote
atcoha Posted February 19, 2016 Author Posted February 19, 2016 Went a few times this week, and today. Nothing. Quote
atcoha Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 beautiful day. Hit up the creek this morning...low 70's, light wind. Bought some zoom speed craws in blackberry, been wanting to try them for awhile. Nothing today, tried a green pumpkin/char. tail trick worm, nothing. BUT!...the turtles are out! That's a good sign, have been keeping track of when I would see them appear this year. The bugs and minnows are also out. You know what that means. Quote

atcoha Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Hit up the creek before noon, and the rain. 1 pike and 1 bass Caught the pike on a blackberry super speed craw on a swing jig, and the bass on a bama craw colored structure bug t-rigged. I did see a couple huge surface splashes before I left. Put on a keitech swimbait, but nothing. Edited March 12, 2016 by atcoha more info Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted March 12, 2016 Super User Posted March 12, 2016 there you go! Pickerel are fun to catch! Quote
88mm Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I've fished the creek by my house with much success. But I've only done it during the summer months. The water is decently cold and i figure i wouldn't have much luck during winter. Anyone ever have any luck creek bassin during winter? Next time i get out i'll post some pictures. Caught a nice 3 pounder there last year. Quote
atcoha Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 Beautiful day. Did some yard work, then headed to the creek about 2pm. Water was normal, but vis was about 6 inches, if that. Threw a small jig. Threw it up between the bank and a submerged log next to a tree, got whacked HARD, then snap. Broke me off at the leader to braid...ah. Usually don't have a problem with that, but will double check next trip. It happens. No other action after throwing a black and blue jig. Came home to watch the end of the race. Quote
atcoha Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 Hit up the creek about 9:30 this morning. Trick worm, 10" bruiser worm, baby dbombs, brushhog, ...nothing. Stayed for about an hour. Did see a cottonmouth trying to get across the creek, that was the only excitement. I forgot, I did catch pickeral....but forgot about him...lol Quote
atcoha Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 Went this morning... 2nd cast felt some nips...reeled in and threw back towards the overhanging branches. He gobbled it up. Rage bug. No other action. Lost a nice jig and a swing head Headed home. Quote
atcoha Posted May 2, 2016 Author Posted May 2, 2016 went back this morning. Weather was nice, a little breeze. Lost a few lizards, and caught nothing... Quote
atcoha Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 Hit up the creek about 11:30 today. Threw a t-rigged power bait worm green pumpkin. Nothing. Switched up to a blackberry speed craw. Got a hit, and lost it. Reeled in my bait, noticed my bullet weight had some serious teeth marks/scratches on it. Must have been a pickerel. No other action. Headed home to catch gator baseball and the monster mile. Quote
atcoha Posted May 21, 2016 Author Posted May 21, 2016 Went this morning. Rained all day yesterday, water was high, dirty and a bit of current. This little buck hit my black powerbait worm as I was just about to pull it out of the water and recast. I guess this little fella was hungry. Thought I was reeling in a stick. A few breakoffs, and 100 more casts I headed home. No skunk today. Quote
atcoha Posted May 22, 2016 Author Posted May 22, 2016 Went today around noon. Not there long before I got a hookup. Monster bowfin. Junebug rage lizard. Fought him for a couple minutes, then he skied about 2 foot out of the water, no joke. And threw the hook. Good show. No other action, came home to take care of some yardwork. 1 Quote
Kyhokie Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Thanks for doing these updates. Living in central kentucky for 10 years, I had some of my best memories creekin'. You could catch spots, large and smallmouth all w/in a mile of each other. This post really brings a smile to my face. Thanks again! Quote
atcoha Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Went today around 3:30. about 93, hot as u know what. My hand is 7.5" from wrist to fingertip. I'm guessing 17-18" Probably 3#, maybe a tad over. Biggest from the creek yet. Caught her on a swing jig with a pit boss. I saw her earlier, she followed the bait to the bank, as I was watching the action of my bait in front of me, she was like a shark on a mullet, BAM, I had too much slack in my line, panicked, and broke my line when I tried to set the hook. Had another big bite when I threw to the submerged branches across the creek, whatever it was started peeling some drag, then got wrapped around down there, let the slack go for a minute, nope, had to break off. Tied on another pit boss, tried a black berkely work earlier, no action with that. Threw it about 10 feet from the last spot, part of a submerged branch was showing(all of these casts were to the shaded side of the creek and wind started blowing). It literally landed on the branch, I tugged just enough for it to slide into the water, gave a slight pull, I just knew I was stuck between that big branch and another one, gave it a "high" wiggle, nothing...then I saw my line headed the other way, stuck her good, she ran to my side of the creek, right up under a branch and some overgrowth, my line got stuck in a split in the branch, so I had to do some shoreline "ballet" to get it out. All in all a good day, I headed home after the victory. 2 Quote
atcoha Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 In case anyone ever wondered. When I fish the creek, I use my medium/fast 7' st. croix mojo bass spinning rod, with a penn battle 2500. 15# powerprobraid with 10# mccoys copolymer leader. Quote
atcoha Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 Have not been to the creek in awhile. Turned out to be a beautiful day here. Hit it up around 11:30 a few small nibbles, probably brim on berkley power bait black worm. Tried strike king grub and junebug lizard... no takers today. Quote
