The guy's I work with say you can catch alot of 6to8in crappie.A 6 im not sure but a 8 now i have cleaned a bunch of them.Just get in the mind frame it will take more to fill that freezer.A 8in crappie fillet resemble's a mid sized bluegill.Good luck thinning them out.

Cedar Creek
Hey guys, just thought I'd drop you a line to say it's not as easy at
Cedar Creek to catch crappie as you hear. I've been there two times this year and have not caught anything but little bass and three catfish.
Either crappie won't bite my hook (not even little ones) or there is not as many as they say. The two days I was there no one was doing any good.
I saw one guy who caught 2 small ones and he was the WINNER!!
If you catch a few crappie, let us know. Good luck.

Kingfish...I ain't on the level of a CP but I did stay in a holiday Inn last night :D
I would put my boat in the water at Coffee's Cove marina, take a right from the boat ramp. You will be fishing around Dunn Island here on Herrington. Fish brush from the outside in. I have been having luck with white jigs and curly tails in the last week. But be sure to fish the outside of the lay downs/brush first. Fish it throughly and slowly. Anywhere from a 1 count to a 5 count down should get you on some fish.
If your a minner fisherman, start about 2-3' deep on the outside of the brush and adjust your depth till you get them.
3 fish from herrington will put more meat on your table than 10-15 from CC :D :rolleyes::p
Good Luck and let us know how you do.

IF you go to ....
Cedar Creek ... fish the banks with fallen trees/branches - less than 4ft of water. Or fish the back ends of creeks/bays, in the standing timber, same water depth. Move frequently, or at least after catching a few from one spot ... if they're still trying to spawn, they're probably scattered more than they were when Fred & I fished. If the spawn is pretty much over, it's going to be a bit harder to find/catch them, for a little while. (see my post about Fred & CP's adventure ... check out pics for types of areas to try).
If you go to Herrington ... I defer to Fred's info :p He's on top of what's happening there. My trip there, with him, was my first Crappie fishing trip to Herrington ... in over 10yrs(but, I'm hoping it won't be another 10yrs before I get back to it :D )
There is no size limit on either lake, and the creel limit is 30/person/day on both. Herrington has produced 2lb fish for me, in the past ... but, the 9" fish I caught at Cedar Creek was the biggest one I've caught from there, ever. :p
... luck2ya ... cp
ps --- see this post : Any New Updates on Cedar Creek Lake .... according to the results (catching mostly males) I'd say the spawn is pretty much over, and the males are guarding nests/fry.
