Not much to report but I figured I'd post a report from Crescent Lake for 2 reasons:
#1 is because I know a few GA folks planning on going to Crescent real soon and.....
#2 is because I might win some free stuff![]()
Just got back from 2 long, hard, tough days on Crescent. We caught a total of 12-15 fish. Our largest 2 was a 1.65 and a 1.41 with 2 more in the 1 lb range. The rest were "Tater Chips". My guess is the fish migrate into Crescent from the St. Johns River and the water is still too warm for the migration to take place. That's the only explanation I have. The water temp was in the high 60's...68-69 degrees...The fish are usually on the north end of the lake by now. We fished all the way from Dunns Creek to Bear Island on Friday and from Dunns Creek to the canal that goes into Dead Lake on Saturday. The bite was few and far between, sometimes going 2-3 hours without a bite, We pulled jigs and even pulled a couple of crankbaits trying to entice the fish but I just don't believe there were any fish there to bite anything. Did not mark very many fish at all, but that isn't unusual in such a shallow lake. The fish that did bite came off of dark colors with chartreuse tails and Pumpkinseed. One of the bigger fish came from just north of Bear Island and the other 2 came from the Dead Lake area. We fought wind on Friday with gusts near 20 mph and a mixture of wind, rain, clouds and sunshine with blue bird skies on Saturday. Maybe some cold weather will move in and get these fish back on schedule soon.

Awesome report TNT! The best one we've seen so far. You put in some hard work out there and someday we'll return the favor with another report.

The only thing I didn't mention is that we ran over 50+ miles on those 2 days looking for fish....13-14 miles on Friday and about 40 on Saturday...That don't include the water we covered trolling!!!!
Thanks Tim, this is not good, we will be there on Tuesday for 3 months. Oh well there are other lakes around to fish that are producing some nice fish.
Excellant report Tim, thanks for the update..................
You are 125% correct regarding migration from St Johns to Lake -
Not enough cool temps to start the spawn run . All fish we have been cleaning past
2 months have no rowe started period.............Water and air temps just to warm to
get them in mood ..
Good post and thanks for the details. I'm hoping to get to Crescent this winter but need a good run of fish to start before I make the trip. 2 days are tough when the fishin is slow.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
Congrats on your finish Tim...was jus too busy chasing dinks up here to look in the last few days...WTG Tim !!!![]()
