Finally checked out Gunstocker Creek...well worth itemoThumbsup . After going under the bridge, we fished the grassy flat on the left. There appeared to be a small ditch running perpendicular to the creek channel with a long log laying across it and a good submerged stump just before it. We also fished on the right side, where there is a grassy hump with a log sticking about 2' out of the water. We went straight there after launching and fished it from 1 to 3. After catching a ton of keeper spots, we decided to give the area a break and went out pitching to laydowns. We came back to it around 6 and caught several hefty largemouths and more spots. We ended up with 3 fish over 4lbs with the biggest being a 5-9. All these fish came from within a 30' radius of the two logs. The majority of the fish were caught on 3/8oz Booyah bleeding spinnerbaits in white and a few on a texas rigged Yum Zellamander in junebug. Although my father-in-law and I were both using the same brand spinnerbait, I caught the most and all of the big fish. Upon further inspection, we found that mine had tandem willows instead of the colorado/willow combo his had. Just one of those little differences that the fish keyed in on, I guess.
Again, thanks to both of you for the info. It's refreshing to fish a new spot instead of our usuals. It's also a blast catching that many quality fish this time of year. Is the fishing always this good here, ranman?
