Thread: Lake Cohoon

A friend and I fished today from 0800 - 1430. Ended the day with 14 crappie but only three keepers. Most of our fish were on the bottom in 21 feet in the channel, but we did get two suspended 12' feet over 22'. Hook and minnow caught all the fish. Had a couple bites on jigs but no hookups. Water temp was 40-42.

great day to be out for sure Kevin....glad you found them rascals

14 crappie on the Suffolk lakes is good here lately. Have you been issued your official crappie.com digital camera yet?

Santa brought me a camera for X-mas many years ago. I believe it lasted three trips before I dropped it in the lake. Funny, I've looked for another one under the tree but haven't found any. Maybe Santa doesn't trust me? I do have a disposable camera with film, but I save it until I've taken all the shots. Maybe it's time to invest in a new one.

that's sounds like a good trip. gald you guys had some pullage. wtg. i have always wonder about the lower lake meade. when riding down 58 you see all them trees sticking up. i always thought that that might be crappie heaven. but i never see nobody fishing them.

For every 10 vertical stumps you see in meade there is 200 more, extrene low water in summer will give you a real perspective

lake cahoon was my local honey hole lake for years but it does not have the numbers of fish it use to have. that is where i started many moons ago. i still like the lake but you did pretty good for this time of year. keep them reports coming tite lines jim.b

Funny I started onthem also. I hasd a canoe and people are very rudd out on Northwest. So I go out there as it has motor limit. Never did very well.

That's because it's too shallow. I was all excited to try it myself but was majorly disappointed when I found out how shallow it was. Been a few years so I don't remember the depth just that is was a lot shallower than I had hoped. Now Burnt Mills, it has the same structure but is in water over 20' deep.
