Percy Priest 4-16-10

Another tough day on Priest at least for me. Put in Stewarts Creek at 7 am and fished until 3:30 pm. I caught 7 fish, 1 skipjack (about 5") 1 dink bass (on a swimbait) and 4 keepers 13-15" most on rattlebaits, 1 on plastic and 1 very nice crappie. Water temp was a surprising 72-74 degrees. I fished from the junction of Spring, Fall and Stones. Fished up in Fall Creek. Then fished mostly flats back toward Fate Sanders. Fished a river bluff, fished in Bryant Creek, fished the roadbed to the left after going under the Hobson Bridge.a Finished the day fishing several spots in Stewarts Creek. All fish caught in 3-5 feet of water but was disappointed that I didn't find more fish. Water is up some but still lots of danger spots.

I think this is has been one of my toughest spring fishing experience. Just can't seem to find the fish. They say let the fish tell you what they want. Well not only can I not catch them, I can't even get an appointment to interview them.
