Took the day off and fished 2 creeks.
First creek was a little high and very muddy. Caught 2 creek chubs, a few green sunfish, and a couple dull-colored longear sunfish.


Second creek was little higher, a bit more stained than last time I fished it. Saw fewer grass carp and fewer gar...except one spot that had quite a few shortnose and longnose gar gathered together. Caught one or two Shortnose Gar, and lost several other gar.


I've only caught a couple Longear Sunfish from this creek, and caught one this trip..beautiful!


Caught a Hybrid Striped Bass for the first time in this creek.


Caught some bluegills and a couple green sunfish...and 3 small channel catfish.


Although very few grass carp were seen, I managed to catch 5.

Thanks Dale & Dennis!
I just realized I titled this post with the incorrect date, but I don't know how to change it. It should have been 6-23-2021.

May as well add some more here. Fished late afternoon/evening on 6-24-2021. Different place, different fish.
Caught Green Sunfish, including this big one:


...some Redear Sunfish. I just noticed the first one below has some interesting blue on its belly:


Bluegill (on the right) and..I think a redear hybrid?:


...and some largemouth bass:


None of the bass were very big. I thought the one on the left below was interesting as it had a lot of blue/green highlights along the belly, but it didn't show up well in the picture...maybe my polarized sunglasses pick it up better? And the one on the right was missing its lateral line stripe. Also, the other 3 bass have uniform colored tails, but the one on the right below has a tail that appears lighter near the base and darker along the posterior edge.
