Spruce Run

[flatcreek]

Hit Spruce Run yesterday evening 4:30 till 8:00pm trying for some Hybrids. We drifted herring between 15 and 30 feet out from the rental dock far out into the middle one drift all the way to the rocks and nothing not even a hit. I saw a lot of fish on the finder but no takers. We where in 25 to 65 feet of water and the surface temp was 63. At about 7:30 we took a cruise up to the bridge over Spruce Run creek to see if any fish were holding by the feeder creek, seen only a couple of fish on the finder but nothing I would think was a Hybrid. A beaver did surprise us with a slap of his tail as we glided along with the trolling motor in the dark up by the bridge, it made a big splash about 3 feet from the boat. Anyway this isn't encouraging me to continue my quest to catch more than the 4 hybrids I've gotten so far. If anyone can lend some encouragement or tips for fall Hrybrids it will be appreciated. If not I guess I'll move on to another venture like fall stocked trout and wait till next summer to go after some more Hybrids.
