Creek Chubs and Bullies

[ec30_06]

Spots that I used to have to myself have gotten pounded by other people this year. I have had to work hard to get big chubs this year.

Whenever I'm going for chubs, I use a fly rod. You need absolutely no skill with it, just tie on any small fly that will fit in their mouths, and twitch it around the area. For me, it's a bit easier and quicker than trying to throw out itty-bitty hooks and jigs with regular gear.

if anyone is interested in trading some chubs for some bullies or shad let me know. I have some in the 4-5.5 inch range.

[pureinsanity]

I haven't used a bullie in a while... They still biting on them? I have had the best luck with Creek Chubs, Cut bait and frogs and toads.. Wondering if going to my bullhead spot will pay off tonight or not.

[Larry FlatCaster]

3 Flats last night from 2lbs to 20 lbs on bullies.. The bigger flats were liking big suckers also.

[pureinsanity]

Thanks for the info. I just got a nice stash of large Creek Chubs and I think the guys who want me to take them out are picking up some suckers. Just wondering if I should get some bullies. Ill see how we do tonight.. Now to decided up stream or down stream

Jeff, they should be in just about any creek. So if you know of a creek they should be there. I am trying to think of spots in shakopee. But I am just not familiar with creeks there. I know there are several places in Jordan. One that gets used a lot is the Wayside Rest area off of highway 21 just outside of Jordan on your left side if you were heading to New Prague. However, it gets fished pretty heavy. Id say every other time I go I might catch one or two decent ones.

As for trading. I will have to see how many suckers these guys got and how many chubs I have. I might be willing you trade you a couple for those big frogs and a bullie or two. However, It all depends where we are on the river at that time. I will text you later. Are you still going to the Jordan Access tonight?

If you come a bit earlier. You could try that rest area i was talking about. you might be able to get a couple decent ones and some small ones.

When you get to the rest area, walk to the railroad tracks and take a right on the tracks. when you are at the RR bridge fish in the creek there. Good luck

Guess you can forget about that spot now.

There is ALWAYS people there. That's why I never even go there anymore and also why i said to try it...

acutally we head out of town for chubs and the bullies in the falss hasnt been the greatest this yr so I found another source for them

Hey, my boys killed the bullheads of size down at your spearing hole last weekend. Top water lures of all things They left on their bikes early AM and did not get back until sundown almost. They caught hundreds so the story goes

Now, a bully spot is one thing. A 11.95678" sucker spot is another I got one hole that produces and suckers do not seem to get big as quick as bullies

Edit note: Sorry elwood. Top water lures under a bobber where the trick . Kids! I might be able to get some bully cell phone slaughter pics if I have a cord for my sons phone

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Nick we should head out tomorrow night...I am free to go out on the river. Save some of them Chubs and I'll bring some Bullies.

Also...I would say go downstream but that's just my opinion.

[pureinsanity]

Sorry bud, Got plans with the wifey tomorrow I think. Unless she does a girls night. Got a nice channel a small flat and one carp tonight

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Bummer it will just be the gf and I...

SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

[Borch]

Well my son is really wanting to go tomorrow. But we won't know if it will shake out until late morning tomorrow. Then we'll need to try to track down some bait quick.

[Borch]

Looks like we're planning on heading down that way. If you're looking for company shoot me an email at jeffonthewater at aol dot com.
