An Urban Creek, 10-22-2020
Took the day off...looks to the be last 80-degree day of the year here...It was hot! I was parched, even though I brought water with me.
I visited the urban creek, hoping for more grass carp, gar, etc.
None of those showed up, so they are probably done for the year.
I only managed a few fish, 3 Largemouth Bass, 1 Bluegill, 1 Longear Sunfish, 2 Spotted Bass, and 2 Sauger. Nothing big...as usual.

this freshwater clam shell is possibly the most beautiful I've seen:
