Creek fishing

[bassman018]

I have recently started fishing at my local creek/stream by my house, I have been using rooster tails and kastmasters (1/8 and 1/12) with allot of success, I have been mainly catching bluegill and suckers. I was curious of any other small UL lures I could use. Oh and also they like trout magnets so I bought the 10 dollar kit.

I love to fish with corn or hotdogs, heck, i have even caught fish on a piece of purple sponge!!!!!

I love trout magnets. Like hornytoad says, corn and hot dogs are great also.

what about power bait?

The pink Power Worm is to be feared!

Set yourself up with a float rig,and drift the bait in current (trotting). Little jigs, plastic worms, spikes, waxworms, red worms, and other creepy crawlies work.  Also look at some flies, ESL, Wooly Buggers, stonefly, and clouser minnow patterns under a float are deadly.

Here's how to rig it.  Works for all species:

1.5" tubes and 2" grubs are awesome in small creeks!

Try out a small Rebel Crawfish. We tear the creeks up with those and Rooster Tails.

I was thinking about some mini cranks my self.

You can hardly go wrong with a small floating Rapala.

small cranks, like the SK bitsy pond minnow. rebel crawdad cranks. small jigs with grubs, i like arkies pre rigged ones, you can get them in very small weights, like 1/32 i beleive, pink and white was my go to color.  Yum crawbugs with a jig head inserted into it, this is killer for small mouth, in creeks i used to fish.  Keep throwin those inline spinners.

Powerbait is good anywhere.  I like using crappie tubes and jigs in my creek

I have had luck with mini cranks and grubs. Beetle spins work great too! They love the flash.
