Apparantly me! I had a great couple days on the water, but the crappie just weren't doing it for me. I caught a ton of other species though...

I put the boat in at Cane Creek around 6:30 on Friday. After huntin' the crappie down, I picked up two nice males. Them suckers were the darkest crappie I've ever seen in my life. Stayed after dark to try to lure some in...but no luck at all. I also had a couple dozen yo-yos set out with no luck at all. I packed it in around 11pm and headed for bed.

Got up Sat morning and headed to M. Point to meet Stumpjumper. This was only my 2nd time to be on this lake. When I put in, I didn't see his truck (which he had done switched trucks on me so I couldn't recognize him:D). So, I headed what seemed like 10 miles down the lake to the lower end. I started fishing where we had started the last time I was there. I immediately caught one crappie, and thought...hmm...this is gonna be a good day. Well, one small crappie later, I decided to start fishing down towards the very lower end of the lake. I caught all kinds of fish...stayed busy every minute of the morning. Just no crappie...but I caught flatheads, channels, yellow bass, bucket-mouths, alligator gar, drum, and just about every other species in the lake except any bream. I also tried the shallow brushpiles, and broke about 5 fish off. I saw one, and it had to be about a 6lb largemouth. I definately need some heavier line out there next time...:D At about 12:30pm, I see Stumpjumper headin' up the lake towards me. They had wore 'em out on the very lower end, where I hadn't been yet. I'm still kickin' myself for not riding all the way down there to begin with...but oh well. When I got to the lower end, I picked up two 2lb crappie pretty quick, but then just slowed down to a crawl. I started the day with 4 or 5 dozen rosies, and ended the day with 1 single rosie. I ended up with about 8 keeper crappie for the day...and I released about 60 other "trash fish"...:D Therefore, I'm going to start working on a "revenge" post here before long...

Jet black Cane Creek crappie...




Cane Creek...what a beautiful lake at night...except for the mosquito factor...
