On my late Grandfather's birthday and my nephew's...a newly made fishing buddy/Tennessee country boy showed me another secret access spot.  Early morning low light, cloud cover and calm waters bring topwater feeding on shad in this creek.

I went old school on the reels and baits and made it work out just fine.

@dragon1 what did more damage?…Fluke or the Jointed?

Fluke caught two on three hits, the Rapala got two hits and the biggest fish.  If I were to want numbers, I would fish the fluke, that combo can cast it a LONG way, I mean 45-50 + yards average easily.

The bite in these areas are very small windows, and once the sun pops out or if there is any wind, even slightly, the topwater and shallow sunsurface bite really turns off and gets spotty.
