Spring Creek

[BigBuck]

I had to take my wife to the airport again today. I decided to take the day off and fish the afternoon. I loaded up the kayak, intending to go to Bedias. On the way to the airport we hit rain off and on. I did not want to go to bedias by myself and sit in the rain all afternoon, so I decided to just work Spring Creek. I went to Jesse Jones park to see what was happening. I spoke to one of the Park employees, we discussed Kayak put in areas and wading areas. After discussions with him, I decided to put my kayak in Spring Creek at Cypreswood drive. There is quite a little hill to contend with at the bridge, makes the hill at Bedias look like a boat ramp. Got in the water just before noon. Fished from the bridge down to where the first active creek comes in. I quit at 6 pm. I do not know exactly how many I caught, I suppose between 20-25. I kept 9 for a fish fry. I probably caught 2 that would have been under 10". The largest I caught was a pig, it was just over 17". I caught most of them on a white roadrunner with a red head. I caught a few on a yellow roadrunner. I still need to get my Bedias fix. Maybe next week.

Is the parking ok near the Cypresswood bridge?

Good report. I can't wait to get up there and fish next week.

That is one fine stringer.......WTG, man. Congrats on a good trip!

Sherwood, the parking area is pretty good. I bet it would be crowded on a weekend. The trip to the water is a little hairy if you have a boat or yak. There is always a joker that backs up to the closest access point, drops his boat and then parks there. As long as you do not get blocked in, it should be ok. I would suggest going for the first time on a week day so you can check it out.

I've never fished/yaked a creek before, nor have I fished white bass before, so I'm pretty excited. I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to go, but I'll make sure to post up and see if others are going.

They are on fire at the back of Jesse Jones park. Was there today and got 40+ and saw probably 300 caught. I am new to this site and am trying to decide on a yak after too much sticker shock from the boat reapir man. my friends have canoed from where you guys are mentioning and no problems. Could use a little help with choices. Thinking of just starter leve heritage 12 SOT from academy at 430.00, tell me what you think. I live in Kingwood and plan to start using it in the area.
