    Over the July 4 weekend I fished with a family member over several days in Barnett’s Creek off of the North River. Even with temperatures in the 90s and water temperatures ranging from 83° in the morning and 89° by afternoon we managed to catch several decent Bass, one catfish, and one crappie over that period of time. We used several baits with the Berkeley Choppo being the main bait. We also caught bass on Rapala Shad-Rapp, a Strike King KVD 1.0 in sexy shed, and a Jenko Fishing Shinobi Shad in the snot rocket color. The heat was immense, so we finished early and late in the day. The vast majority of our fish were caught while working the reed line along the creek. Top water and shallow diving crank baits seem to work the best.

    It was a good outing ! I caught about a half dozen, not including several that I couldn’t get in the boat. All were bass with the exception of one decent size yellow perch! The bass were laid-up shallow! In addition to the Beatle Spin, I used a Jenko Shinobi Shad (snot rocket), Googan Squad mini zinger in sexy shad, and a Dynamic Lure micro spinner in a trout color!
