Now that the pier fishing is complete, I will finally have a chance to fish one of my favorite spots, French Creek. This is one beautiful waterway. It boasts the most diverse species in the state. A long, windy, and slow moving creek that is primarily a mud bottom. The best thing about French Creek is it's diversity. When I wade the creek, I have no idea what will hit. I primarily cast spinners or float jigs in this creek. Today, in a few short hours I landed an amazing amount of fish and many different species. I caught smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, rock bass, crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, warmouth, and a sucker. I was using a small 1/64 black and yellow Panther Martin on an ultralight rod. There are other species in this creek that sometimes bite including walleye, pike, and tiger muskie. You can also catch bullhead and carp. And amazingly, I had the creek to myself. I passed no person or vehicles on my journey. Just a few deer, a blue heron, and several turkey. A wonderful relaxing day fishing.
