Thread: What a difference a day makes on Cane Creek

Hello to all

It has been a difficult year for me on Cane Creek. After being shut out in the crappie tournament Saturday on Cane Creek I went back on Sunday and caught the first limit of crappie that I have caught this year. I recall two year ago I would catch a limit of crappie give them away and then catch another limit, so why can I not catch fish this year?

Well on Saturday I spent some time talking with a couple of fellows who are from Faulkner county where I learned to float a jig under a cork. These guy had caught fish floating a jig but had not entered the tournament. I told them that I had produced a lot of fish floating a jig in the past and when asked why I stopped I could not give them a good answer. I told them that I have tried a few time this fall but never long enough to be productive.

I told myself Saturday night that I would go back on Sunday and float the jig and stay with it. I would try different color at various depths and see what happens. To make long story short I had a great day with 15 nice crappie with four over 3lb the largest came in at 3lb 6ounces (see photo).

Hey Stumpjumper "I think I'm baaack". Thanks to a couple fellows who taught me something I already knew.
