I mow grass at a golf course and bodysnatcher said it were mowing about 10 to 15 yds more down to the where the water level is now, I been fishing a few times but we been getting some good rain lately so ill prob go more I believe it affects fishing, also drove through green swamp today and its pathetically dry but its suprisngly nice and green..
Man I had water going across my road today. It was great.
This thread is 2 years old, but its the same time of year, same city, same water level.
The area of the 9 mile creek(as its called on here) that I fish ranges from ankle deep areas(that are dried up to be 1/4 the original creek width) to chest deep spots.
However, yesterday I pulled my personal best bluegill(7") and PB largemouth(13.5").
Both using a rebel pop-r. Both on my first cast.
The lure was in the water for a second(I had not yet begun retrieving) when I saw a bass come up from the deep and suck it in.
The bluegill did the same thing.
I suppose the good thing about low water is that the fish are trapped in deep corners of the creek, not able to swim through the low water, which makes it easy to find them.
My favorite corner has contained for the past week(at least) 1 gator, ~6 Gar, dozens of small bass and ~3 fair sized bass(only one of which is legal-sized).(~#s determined by snorkeling)
There are no sunfish in this pool, but ~20yards down the creek there is a ~5' diameter hole that holds ~ a dozen of tiny sunfish.
Yup drying up in the PC area too..this is a slough off the choctawhatchee river, usually 3-4 feet more water on average, this is the first time i ever walked across it. caught a few small bass, one bowfin. normally can count on catching jacks (pickerel) also, but i did not get any that day.
