Default Thursday on Toledo.

After a week on Toledo with little luck, went south to Mill creek to give it a try on Thursday. Caught a few fish shallow, 2 keepers, very slow. Had an experience that I have never had in my 35 years of bass fishin. We were in the back of Mill Creek, I had just hooked someones line with my fluke, after pulling loose, the boat drifted back to shallow water with the motor down about half way, when all of a sudden all hell broke loose. Apparently my motor had backed down on the back of a very large gator. It started thrashing in the water, actually lifting my 22' Skeeter bay up and I had actually thought my motor had started or something. Didn't know what the hell was going on. Never saw the beast come back up, while we continued fishing the area. It was a first for me.
I think the rising water has the fish unstable on where they want to be. Caught smaller fish shallow, and saw a 7.2 caught Monday morning in Carrice Creek out from the bank. Fished from Hausen up to Patroon. With nothing over 4. Water muddy in the main creeks from the heavy rains on
Tuesday.

Last yr in the back of Mill Creek me and Weedeater saw a gator pushing 10'+. That might of been the gator you backed onto. He was a beast.

There are at least 3 : 10-13' gators in Indian Creek. I saw one around 11-12' near the boat landing off of Hwy 255 this summer. Made me think twice before going swimming on the beach!

I was shocked at not only the numbers but the size of gators in that area.
