Shaky head rigged worms.
Rapala floating minnow shad colored, worked on top or below surface.
Weighted or weightless flukes in pearl or green colors.
Strike King bitsy tube with weighted or weightless hook.
It is surprising how big of a lure you can use in a creek. This will deter the smaller red eye or gills from constantly nibbling or ruining the quiet are hole where you are trying to pull the hog out of.
I use a med/light rod with 6lb. PLine flouro clear. Spinning reel.

Thanks Troutfiend I will keep all of those in mind. And thanks to all you guys. This is all good info for someone who is trying to get back into fishing.
