briery creek water temp

[old school]

Hey out there,

Greetings

I am a new member.  I live in Chesapeake Va and am going to take a 'week for the creek'. Anybody been fishing it and do you know the water temp.

Tomorrow I am going to fish a small lake on the base at little creek amphib base.

The highest water temp I saw Friday was 63.2 in the late afternoon.

The same area got up to 60.6 on Thrusday afternoon.

Thanks a lot,

That is warmer than the dishpan lake I fished yesterday in Va Beach. The warmest I found was 60 degrees. I did catch a 4.5 and a two pounder by 7 am and no more till I left at two. It was very windy here yesterday.

I have a slight dilemma.

I have penciled out the week of april 17 thinking that the moon phases and water temp should be prime for fat late prespawn ---spawners. My dillema is I do not want to be on the lake if it is packed with boats and fisherman trophy hunters.

I am going to relax have a good time,and catch a lot of nice fish and maybe keeping none but a big one if I can git lucky.

I would rather sacrifice a pound of eggs for their weight than not be able to enjoy the fishing. I have heard that spawning season gets crowded-crowded.

I can take off anytime. I can go next week.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Do you know what I mean?

I am headed out there for the first time in 15 years on Thursday, Lord willing, and was wondering if anyone could give me a general idea of what stages the fish are in now.  I have done a little topo research and aerial studay and have decided to launch from the 701 ramp.  I figured I would key on a couple of flats that appear to have deep water nearby.  I also figured I would work my way up and down the road bed as well.  Any other suggestions?  Not looking for specific spots as I understand if you wanna catch good ones you need to put in the time.  Just looking for a little guidance in the general right direction. 

s13 and wayne did you guys do any good last week?

Thanks fellas

I am going up this week. I won't have access to internet so I won't be able to give updates. I sure am looking forward to it.

Thanks for your input.
