My creek watching

[BrAin]

My in-laws live near Cleveland and we go perch jerking in a creek that feeds San Jacinto River.( I think) We catch some very beight colored perch with lots of Red and orange. I havent been in a while though. Get a small hook and tip it with a rolly polly.

White spotted gar is what I meant! Thanks for the invitation! I might have to take you up on that.

I go collecting fairly regularly and have caught a lot of the local fish. I'll be doing a collection trip in the next few weeks if you are interested

Are you saying there is a gar in your part of the creek ?

I think he is? Unless there's a new fish named "far"

So far I have seen a lot of fish. No luck with the wieners and hooks. The perch I haven't see up close but I do have a far that is stuck in my part of the creek because down the creek there are logs blocking it off. He's about 1.5-2 feet, with dark brown top, and white spots everywhere. I'm hoping to get a cast net and just catch so and look at them. Any body have any cool fish they caught?

Try dry dog food. You can chum the water with this or take a small drill bit and make holes by hand for putting on a hook. There is a large pond here in Texas City that has some big (1.5' to 2') carp in it that can't get enough of this. They will swarm the area and we used to catch them in a cast net just to check them out. Canned corn does wonders as well.

Try a little bread on a hook
