brushy creek

[Guest]

anyone fish brushy this weekend? do any good? where is the best place to fish?

I went in there once this year and my dad has fished it twice. I fished the north end and caught a million 2" bluegill. I did not see a gill over 6". I did catch a couple of perch that were 10"+. My dad fished the south side by the island and only caught a couple of fish. I know there are fish in there, I am wondering if there are not enough big ones yet to make the fishing worth while. I do hear of people catching walleyes along the creek channels but I have never seen it. In two years, I think it will be awesome.

There are plenty of good fish in Brushy. I had better walleye fishing last winter but the crappies are a nice bonus this winter. Last Saturday was our slowest day but we still caught about 20 nice crappies and a 21" walleye. I think the key is to stay after dark.

Really dumb question, is this brushy creek the one near Fort Dodge.

Datbedaplace Shad rap. Finally a promising lake north of I80.

Just got back from Brushy. Fished the North end about 200 yards out from ramp, along trees (narrows it down does'nt it) anyway fished from 3 - 7:30 caught two crappie. I know that two other guys in the area each caught one crappie. we were in about 25' of water. fishing about 8-10 off bottom.
Not a single bluegill, did try for some time on/near bottom with wax worms.

Would like to hear other reports. Did have a nice surprise at the truck. The guy who runs the baitshop had stuck a coupon for a free scoop of minnows on my truck, he has good selection of bait and fair prices from what I could see.

Also went to briggs woods. Did not look like anyone has even been on that lake???
thanks

We fished Brushy last night as well. We fished from dark until 12:45 a.m. we caught 10 or 12 crappies and a 18" walleye. I think the front slowed em down again.

sounds like you did better than us. I did see some guys way out in deep water, do you know if they did any better?
thanks
