Unfortunately I have not been out as much as I'd like lately and actually haven't fished station camp at all. A buddy told me he was catching a lot of fish back towards Gallatin marina. I believe on the point just across from the docks. Papas bank(first long bank on the left after the point in the east fork creek) is usually a great place to start this time a year. Usually our wind comes out of the north more so than the south that is the reason the water was clearer up in the creek most likely. Spencer creek probably looked like chocolate milk then I'd assume. Although a friend called me this afternoon and said they had about a 15-16# sack all out of Spence creek. I had the pleasure of fishing Fri. And sat. though. We fish mostly down river from bluegrass to the dam. Hitting mainly north facing banks and only fishing the front of the pockets. Fish on that side seemed to be in the first stage mainly hence why we fished mainly just the mouths. Shaky heads and chartreuse squarebill cranks. The fish were pretty schooled up both days. There are some good fish back in old hickory marina but they have ruined most of the fishing with new docks everywhere. Don't just fish the back of creeks and pockets. It seems most are just in the early stages from what I saw those two days. Start in the front and work your way in. Pay attention to where you catch fish, their color, and just try and find a pattern. Your sure to fill a limit that way. We had I believe 11 keeping fish Fri. and our best sack was probably 13#+- and 4 at about 10-11# sat. The wind ran us off that day so we only fished about 3 hrs. We are still looking for those big females too, o think most of the shallow spawners are still in the early stages but it won't be long. Have fun and get our there as much as possible right now. Good luck, let me know how you do.
Apologies in advance for any typos. I'm typing this from my so called smartphone. It often thinks its smarter than I.
