Maybe Pastor or Scrap iron can help you with this

I grew up down there but catch fish there now to save my life. You have to know where the tops are and I don't. Like 20 watt said pastor and scrap fish down there pretty often. My advise would be stay on darbonne unless u want to go skiing, then caney is your lake. Good luck.

I did good on the post spawn but always didn't do so hot during summer.i just want learn the summer bite to get away from people and have anothe lake close to home. I've heard stories from folks that catch in summer but it's a secret and I understand that.

I fish Caney every weekend and know where lots of tops are. This past weekend no keepers. Fished probably 15 hours total. The few I caught were in 20fow fishing 12-16ft deep with shiners. May try some more night fishing this summer. Been doing really well with quality fish up until this weekend. Good luck.

I've also been wanting to try the night bite there and I plan on making a trip one day this week after I get off work and try and mark some tops so a plan when I do gets day off to fish. Do you ever fish with jigs much? I usually had luck with blue thunder on Caney

I do fish jigs some but favor the shiners. Catch some casting and counting jigs down to 10-12ft. Out from Smith Fork across from state park lot of tops and what they call the jungle lot of tops.

I usually did well in smith during pre spawn but that's about it. I really appreciate the help I plan on making some rounds by the state park and around Hancock and cypress. I figured places where there are fast depth changes I could probably find tops and do ok. Thanks again for the help

Smith Fork and Smith Branch not the same. Smith fork on Jonesboro side about halfway up lake on left. Northstar Drive crosses end of it. Lot of humps and ridges and tops about 500 yds out toward state park. We have camp on Pebble Drive. I'm one of the old farts with a stick steer. Good luck.
