I suppose that I should share a little secret about these creeks. A lot of them have limestone bottoms. Although you might see hundreds of yards of shallow creek, there may be places where the limestone was weaker or damaged and these spots can host wonderful pools that can be a couple of feet or a couple of yards deep. There might be a mile of minnow water, and then that pool that seldom gets fished and has a small store of nice bass and bream. If you are looking over a creek and the stretch that you are looking at looks too shallow for nice fish, look in small pockets for bluegill or red-bellies. Often these are the hint that there is deeper water around somewhere. It isn't a guarantee, but it can be a hint.

warm regards,
Ed
