I thought I'd try for crappie and headed over to Stewart Creek this morning. Turned out I had one of my better days bass fishing this winter. I saw some people catching crappies on the opposite bank, so I headed over there. I couldn't get any bites, but I saw some surface activity in shallow water down the bank. Headed over there and threw a 3" firetiger Powergrub and hooked into a nice 3 lb bass. I didn't get any more bites on the grub and I was wishing I hadn't left my bass gear at home. But I happened to have some flukes with me, so I tied on those. Proceeded to catch 8 more in an hour. But once the sun went behind the clouds, the bite died. They were only in 2-3 feet of water and they were all chunky and healthy. What was looking like a unproductive day turned out to be a nice one!
