Thread: Cedar Creek May 1st

dang man thems niceones

Thanks for the info Tiger. I was there also fishing the shallows . And probably talked to you that morning. I just wasn't smart enough to move and came home after just catching a few small ones.

SSSSHHHHH lol

looks like a good mess of fish catchem on minnows or jigs

all were caught on Minnows. Last friday caught 13 keepers and 40dinks (4-5inches). They were everywhere I fished and it made no difference the depth

Since there's no size limit ... what cutoff length were you calling "keepers" ?

Glad to see there's some "dinks" still roaming the lake ... must have had a decent spawn a couple of years ago !!

CrappiePappy, I am keeping 8 inchers or better. The dinks last friday were 5 inchers mainly and there were plenty of them. I saw one boat with two guys throwing grubtails that were catching 5 inchers every cast at whatever depth they tried. I am glad to see them too, but they sure do a number on your minnow stock. I fished 100 minnows between 9am and 1:30pm and only brought home 13. two of them were 12 inchers full of eggs. The eggs were NOT read to drop yet.

I've been there when they've bit like that, and it didn't matter what color your plastics was

Had the most luck throwing or trolling a 1/16oz chartreuse Roadrunner. Too many other critters in there that love a minner, for me to go to the expense of buying minners.

Those that haven't spawned, may do so over the next few days ... or the water is likely to get too hot for them, if they wait much longer.

I quit going down there very much, because the size of the Crappie wasn't increasing (years ago), but may have to give it a shot, now that they seem to have finally caught up to a normal growth rate. Please keep me informed about what they're doing, if/when you go.
