I had a call a few weeks ago from Dan in Colorado, wanting to know about fishing at Cane Creek. Dan had gone to Mississippi a couple of years back and caught several crappie at Grenada over 3lbs. and had them mounted and would like to try for a 3 lb black crappie to go on the wall with them. He had been seeing my post of my buddy Steve's 3 lbers. He had a few days the first of Dec. he might be able to come down. Well when I posted that string of big crappie Steve caught on Thanksgiving, Dan called back and said he was headed this way. Dan called me monday Dec. 1 and had made it down and had fished that day with no luck and we talked about how deep to fish and techniques. I took a half a day off Tues. and my brother and I headed to Cane Creek, we picked up some rosie reds and got an extra bag for Dan because they were out at the bait store in Star City. We met Dan on the lake and talked a bit and Dan was in a good spot that had produced for me before, so we went on to another spot. I caught a good one and my brother caught his 3lb. 5oz. fish, I called Dan and told him to come on over. Dan was fishing near us when I caught my first over 3 lb. We fished That day and Wed. and Sat around Dan, and really enjoyed visiting with him. Dan came a long way with his truck camper, boat and his labrador retreiver with the goal of a 3lb. Cane Creek beauty. Dan didn't get one while we were fishing but caught some nice ones. Dan caught his first one over 3, Thursday afternoon in some very cold and windy conditions. And caught another early Sat. morning before I got out on the lake. I enjoyed being around Dan, a really nice guy and a lot of fun to fish with. A pretty dedicated crappie fisherman that stays after them with a terribly slow bite. Dan is Daniel on the forum.
