    Default Beautiful Day Up The Creek

    Mid-80s, light winds, beautiful day away from the internet and work phones
    Lots of undersized "spike" trout
    Several beautiful over slot reds
    A huge gator that gave zero shits that we were there
    One tree limb that had 6 small gators sunning on it.........very cool
    I have never seen so many gators in this creek, probably saw 30

    this particular creek is a really pluff mud bottom and really dark stained water
    and always produces the prettiest bronzed/gold redfish

    This particular creek is probably 10 miles from the inlet (straight inland) and definitely brackish,
    if it rains real hard, all the trout and reds will disappear for a week or two

    Very nice!

    Why you suspect so many gators?
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Not sure, but its been unseasonably warm and gator food is plentiful in there.
    Lots of turtles , bait fish and I have never seen so many ducks in there either.
    I have been going up in the dead end creek for 50 years and never saw any gators until
    the last 10 or 15 years and seems more and more each year,
    No gator hunting season in NC, but I think that's about to change
