Post Hurricane CREEK MADNESS - Catching One BIG Catfish After Another

We had some rain move through from remnants of Hurricane Delta. I thought it would be a good idea to check out the creek. It turned out be a GREAT outing. Several nice blues came in - a 30, 28, 19, and a 10 lber. Fishing the backwaters of the creek is always worth trying, especially after a good rain.

If you smoke or dip or chew , make sure your gloved up when making your litters and cutting bait. Those fish can smell the tobacco and will pass your set right up.
