Thread: Cane Creek update

I really enjoyed Chris coming down and fishing this weekend, he really did well on the rosie reds. I caught some crappie, but didn't limit out, but caught some good fish. I can't post any pics because I lost my camera some time after I took pics of Mondays catch. I think I put it on the bumper of the truck and forgot it when I went to town to get my propane tank filled. I was so aggrevated with myself about losing my camera that I packed up and brought the camper home on Tuesday morning. It was too stormy and windy today to fish so I went deer hunting. Will probably get back to Cane Creek or lake Monticello tomorrow. Hope you guys get down to Cane Creek this fall while they are biting. Let me know when y'all are coming and I'll meet y'all there. Randy, I use low visibility line when fishing in Cane Creek, the water is pretty clear. And I have never tried nightstalking in there, but it would probably be pretty good.

Dang Jerry. I hate to hear about the bad experience. I know you were looking forward to this week for awhile. I'll be back down there the weekend after Thanksgiving. Hopefully the women will want to shop the whole time.:D Good luck the rest of the week, I know that big 2lber will take your mind off of the camera. Talk to you soon. In the chat room for a little while.

This is not the type story we like hearing from down south. I feel your pain though. I have done the same type thing a time or two myself. With all the gear we take its a wonder we dont loose more than we do.

How is your deer season going so far? Mine has been slow but the rut is on, and I am going Fri thru Sun with my 7 year old. I hope we at least see some possible shooters. I would love my kid to be with me when I bagged a good one. I dont know who would love it more.




What is the deer

Gooch you can't eat them horns! That's why I took a 6pt. and the wife took a doe. I think we am going on a big doe hunt. We have to many. Gotta take care of the numbers you know.

Went to CC this weekend. Ran upon Dr. Pepper down there Sat. morning. It was kinda like, "hey, I think I know you." The fish Sat. were extremely slow. I spent a lot of time on a couple of spots that produced a few weekends ago, but nothing. That afternoon, I found a few just inside the treeline. I'm not sure if they weren't biting well at all, or if they had just moved back towards the treeline (about 50yds) from my usual spots. I noticed that the hydrilla didn't look the same on the graph compared to a couple of weeks ago. I ended with 4 nice keepers. DP ended with about the same, but had a dozen or so throwbacks. I'm pretty sure he caught those on the shallow side of the treeline. All in all, I was pretty disappointed. It was by far my worst day out there. Bobberwatcher, I saw the post where you were down there this weekend. I'm not sure if I saw you or not. What kind of boat were you in?
I also ran into another guy that reads the posts. He said, "hey, aren't you ceb? I noticed your boat." It's nice being able to sit back and BS with other guys while fishin. I didn't get your name, so now you gotta register and tell me.:D

Sunday morning, I got my revenge. I concentrated on the area just inside the treeline about 3-5' deep (a little bit deeper than previously). I started off with 4 keepers quick. Then went an hour or so without a bite. Finished off the 15 fish limit by 11:00 in one spot. I'll post a pic or two of the catch later.

Ceb the last time I was at Cane Creek they had moved back to the tree line. They haven't been hitting the roadrunner lately either. They usually stop chasing the roadrunner when the water temp gets in the mid 50's for me. Seems that they want something stationary or real slow. Willie has been doing real well ( the one in the small plastic boat) he has been using a jig under a bobber, casting and reeling back real slow. Thats what I've been doing lately with some pretty good success. Steve is still doing good on the rosie reds, he is tying up and casting away from the boat. They are catching fish about 5 ft. deep.

Ceb, is that you on the first post on this thread? If so, I did see you today. I was in the Break-Up War Eagle with the 25 Merc. I didn't get to fish yesterday, but was there this morning around 7. I think we exchanged a couple of stare downs.. I was thinking, "I have seen that guy.. i think". I guess I should have come over and struck up a conversation. Looked like you wore them out. I saw you dippin up several. I had 2 10 inchers and a 13.5. (The one I held up to show you). I bet I caught 40 or so crappie/green carp, but could only keep 3. I took a picture once I got home to my camera. Something about the fish at Cane Creek. Seems like alcoholics to me!! :D

Even though I didn't catch many keepers, I was very impressed with this place. I quit counting how many I threw back. That has me optimistic about the next couple of years when they grow some. The guy, Willie, that Jerry mentioned pulled up beside me and started wearing them out. I did more rigging than fishing trying to mimic what he was doing. I caught more smaller ones on jigs. The keepers were on minnnows that CEB gave me. I don't remember if I thanked him properly. I didn't see a bait stand that was open and ended up on the lake with just my jigs.
I wished I had a video camara with me; I would be $10,000 richer. A fellow snagged a duck. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. He was able to release it unharmed; the duck that is. That duck just about flogged him to death when he got it to the boat.
