Thread: Cane Creek 12/2/06

Went to Cane Creek today. Boy it was cold. The crappie didn't cooperate for me. Bobberstopper was there and Ceb was there. I only caught one crappie, and when I left Ceb had 13, with some nice ones. I'm trying to fish like Willie that we have talked about fishing the jig under a cork using a slow retrieve. Willie was catching good crappie today, have pics of a couple of good ones, he had at least four like these.

Ceb slow trolling thru the trees



Ceb with two nice slabs



Willie with 2 slabs (weighed one it was 2lb. 11oz.)

nice looking catch. you Akansas boys get to have all the fun lol!

Well, not ALL the arkansas boys.. I didn't put a keeper fish in the boat. I did however chase one of the "pet" geese around the boat ramp though.. :D

Haha, I was thinking I should have went with ya'll.. :D

that Willie had his limit twice and gave away some fish twice so he could keep fishing. Trying to get him to join crappie. com. He's a super nice guy. While I was talking to Ceb when I was getting ready to leave a nice green carp caught his self on Ceb's pole.

Here's a pic.

Was a little cool out there on Saturday. Took all day to get 15 crappie, one of which was given to me by Jerry. Went out again this morning. Froze up as soon as I got out there. Thawed out and came back in. The temp wasn't bad, but the wind would cut right through you. Didn't stay long enough to really fish for them. Me and another guy were the only idiots out there first thing this morning.


15 fish from Saturday - 11" fillet knife for reference


Had 5 hawgs

Chris, I started out twice to go fishing this morning, went to get gas a 6 this morning and debris a was blowing across the parking lot so I went home. Went out at 8 to go and the wind was worse, so I gave up. Nice catch you had Saturday. May try to go this week if the wind stops. I know you'll be back with the nice fish you caught, see you out there later.

Guys, I came real close to going out there w/ you this weekend, but it was sort of cold for me, and I fished the last 2 weekends. I decided to stay home & relax in the house; warm. The way my luck has been recently, I would have wound up like jerry instead of willie & chris. How long do the crappie hang out in this wintertime area? Just curious as to what the deadline for my next trip to star city will be. Also, I'm sure chris was using rosey reds, but what were you using Jerry?

Nice pictures fellas.

Thanks for sharing.
