Fish red bug shaky heads for numbers and the occasional big fish and green worms for the larger fish. usually in deeper waters. I also throw black and blue, and green(sometimes with white) senkos or yum dingers texas rigged at stump or wood submerged or sticking out of the surface. hope this helps a little.

Javelinmatt,
I appreciate the info. I think Station Camp creek is where I fish the most...is it located to the north of Spencer Creek? I'm hoping to try out Cedar Creek this weekend. But regarding Station Camp, I fished it last weekend, all the way to the mouth of the creek. The water in the creek is extremely clear, but gets real muddy once it hits the lake portion. Is that normal for the water to be that clear? Do you think it's due to a rocky bottom versus a mud/silt bottom? Whatever the reason, there were no fish in the creek. Not only did I not catch any, but saw none on the depth finder. However, once I got to the mouth of the creek, there were fish from around 3 ft down to the bottom. I tried to fish that area with everything I had in the boat, but they apparently weren't buying what I was selling. Was I doing something wrong?
The extent of my excitement while in the creek was watching a school of fish (probably 30-40) all bunched up and right at the surface. I originally thought I found a hawg sitting against the bank, but when I got closer I saw it was a bunch of fish. Best I could tell, they were bass and all were in the 6"-8" range. Have you ever seen this?
Thanks!
