Fishing was very slow at Alum Creek this morning. the docks had skim ice that slowly melted while we were there. All I managed was 2 damn mud puppies. Marked a lot of bait fish, some subtle bites but no target species. It was good to see folks again though...

I agree,it was great to see everyone that showed.
-
It was a mud puppy massacre!!!! At least you saw a couple bites Andy!! Lol. Beautiful day spent with some good folks, can't ask for much more!
-
I call BS. I can ask for more. Like a bite. Lol. G and I ended up driving all the way down to rocky fork from there it was so bad. Wasnt great there either but at least we caught some fish. We had 4 keepers. Also some small crappies and a few gills.
-
Yea I'm going to have to do some exploring that way one of these days. I had a bite finally around 11 lol
-
If you wanna head down one weekend let me know. Isn't always great but we pretty much always catch some.
-
Are you fishing a marina or bank fishing?
-
Everybody fishes the docks at the southwest corner of the lake. It is deep and has more docks than Alum, it can be hit or miss.
-
Thanks for the info Tin guppy. Any perch caught there? I will have to check it out in a couple weeks.
-
It's actually the southeast bank. There's a bunch of docks 5 -30 fow. And I was getting some perch before the ice but haven't caught any the last couple weeks. Most I ever kept was 6 tho. And there's eyes in there but I haven't seen any come off the docks. Usually just crappie. Some gills.
-
I'm in if you decide to go down....
-
When do you wanna go Andy?
-
Not this coming weekend (Expo and we might have ice), maybe the weekend after....
-
Hopefully the next couple weekends we will be punching holes, not sitting on a dock. But whenever it thaws back out, we will have to meet up down there. Get an unofficial ifo tourney going
-
I'm down whenever Andy. Have you ever been there?? Sounds good 30, I hope you are right about punching holes!!
-
I would like to come down and check it out.
-
You'll love it quackpot. The bait store down there runs a 20% off all tackle sale in the winter. Lol
-
I don't think I can get much more in the truck. Lol
-
Got a trailer ?
-
Yeah my sled is in it.
-
Yeah my sled is in it.
I can let you have the bed of my truck to store any excess gear. Only rule is that you have to put labels on yours so I don't get into trouble with the wife......
-
I may need your truck bed at the expo. Lol
-
Have caught more and bigger crappies at rocky fork this year than at alum the last two years combined. Too bad the eyes don't come into the docks like alum.
-
Are these docks by the banquet center?
-
Yes
-
Thanks 30, I'm going to try it next weekend if the weather cooperates.
-
If we're not punching holes I'll be there. .. but very pissed off cause the ice melted again. Lol
-
Does that place freeze up? Was looking at a map, seems like some decent structure to fish..
-
Yeah it was frozen during the last round of ice. I guess there were guys walking on it but I've never left the docks.
