White Bass & Crappie Showing Up Strong—Scouting Is Key Right Now
White Rock Creek - Freestone, TX
Some creeks have some, some of the creeks have None, and some of the creeks are choked with fish.  we are now starting to catch semi easy limits.  so we are now booking until May. After the cold front coming up next week should be pretty good and if we get any rain that should get most of the creeks something to catch Lake Lavon Dam has their gate open. Most of the fish are going to divert there until they close the gates. So Rowlett Creek might be a little slow till that happens. But I remember one year when I had the gates open 3 to 5000 CFI, all the Sandies went there along with Hybrids and the Crappie made a huge push up rowlett creek. Everybody even people with push button rods were getting limits of Crappie’s and maybe one to six sandy’s on every stringer we were seeing that year. 20 years doing it and I’ve never seen that amount of Crappie come out of a creek. But that was in the past, but it might happen again one year. Right now we’re using 4 pound line on 7 ft rods. Finessing the fluke or straight jigging back. Jigging bobber and the deeper spots is working well. But again, you’re gonna have to scout this year. Like at Lake Lavon the waters way up so you gotta go way up now. Unless you know where the little deep pockets are in the creek, you’ll have Fish resting in those. I think it’s only dumping 400 CFI or something I haven’t checked. But if they dumped over 1000 that’ll bring up the Hybrids. I’ve heard of a couple caught already, but not in big numbers. If you wanna learn how to do this so you can do it on your own the next day and get that learning curve taken care of, shoot me a text 469-528-0210 and we’ll find a day to get you on the water $150/ per person ( you are solo and don’t have anybody to go with you. Don’t worry about it. Shoot me a text.) 4 hours  -all you will need is a drink and your fishing license. Accessories that I would highly highly recommend would be polarized glasses wades to keep sticks bugs, mud, and of course, water off of you, and soccer cleats or football cleats to keep you in the upright position, the whole trip. You don’t have to have waders, but like I said, they keep you clean. We rarely ever get into the water. It’s just some spots we might need to cross over knee deep water or such.
