Fished at Rock Creek again with CJ my year old. We caught numerous Crappie and Bluegill along
with a couple Perch. Had only one Blowup on topwater Frog Lure that was homemade by Capt. Ken Daubert of Florida.
We caught nearly 50 fish in the couple hours we fished.

Took two local youths to Rock Creek for an evening of fishing. We started out on a Crappie bed and
hauled in numerous Black Crappie and Bluegill. Also, a couple small Largemouth Bass. The wind was out of the south
and a bit breezy from 15-20 mph. We used small jigs for these fish. Then we tied on some spinnerbaits and went
for some bass. I got a nice Rock Bass at 9 inches right away. Then landed a 19 inch Largemouth. Also, a
22 inch Channel Cat with a spinnerbait. Then one of the boys got a nice 19 inch fat Largemouth Bass on a topwater lure.
The fishing was pretty good today!

Traveled to Rock Creek and met the Milburn and Rodriguez family for a fun day of paddling and fishing.
A great time was had by all! We caught lot's of fish on this windy warm day following some extremely stormy weather
the past couple days. We caught numerous Bluegill, Crappie, and a small Largemouth Bass. We also caught Rainbow
Trout, Rock Bass, and Perch. I also got a hold of a 16 inch Longnose Sucker! Very rare catch at Rock Creek.
The water was a bit stained from the recent rain but cleared as the day passed. We found plenty of glassy water at the
north end as the wind was from the south. We used small jigs, streamers, and spinner baits. The Big Bass seem
to be taking Memorial Weekend off for some reason.

Met Greg and his son at Rock Creek for some afternoon fishing. We caught several fish including CJ
who caught a nice little bass. I did not have my digital camera today but did have a flip video with me and got some
footage of CJ and his bass. He had a brand new spinnerbait he recently purchased and on the first cast nailed a bass.
