Got the day off tomorrow so I'm headed out to Newman's.
Don't even care if I catch anything, just excited to get a line wet.
A.G.S. (& Others):
Any luck "catching" WB or crappie at Newman's? I plan to go to Newman;s or Irwin Bridge when rain stops.
I only hooked up with 10 (I forgot my ruler, so I only kept the ones that were longer than my boot to play it safe), and I was there from 9AM to 1PM. A few on a little 1/8 oz blue rooster tail, the rest on a white jig head, and a red/white grub. I used a jig head with a spoon on it so I could just do slow rolling retrieves, and not really have to jig it around much.
Hit a few upstream from Newmans (Toward Irwin bridge). Headed downstream about 1130 to see if I could find some crappie, but found a nice honey hole and fished out my time there. Depending on how much rain we get, ya may want to walk downstream from Newmans. At the first bend to the right, the slough is flooded essentially cutting off access to that bend, but if ya keep walking that slough meets back up with the creek and forms a nice calm area. That's where I was hooking into the females, and I wish I woulda been there all day.
