Thread: Cresent= thebomb.com

skiff89_jr you said "Even with such a horrible wind all day we managed to catch 41. Only kept 21 but we had 10, yes 10 fish, at or over the 2lb mark. I haven't even caught a total of 2lbers in my life before today. Definitely a trip for the memorie books. It was dads and I first of many trips to Cresent. Big fish went 2.4lbs."

Yes I made a statement something like that back in February caught quite a few 2lb plus in one day won't give the exact number but it was way up there something I never saw done before but it happens around the St.johns and Crescent,great job skiff89_jr

We will be there in January. We have to figure out where to stay? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Lakeview Motel is about the only place on Crescent that is decent. I have never heard anything good about Leonards Landing but that is another place unless you stay in a hotel/motel in Palatka. I think there is a bed and breakfast downtown Crescent City but dont jnow how "Fisherman" friendly it is.

Thanks Tim. Call me tomorrow if you have time.

I use them myself no matter where I fish......course I got bunch of them. I have been to Cresent one time and loved it. We (1Cove) caught and released three that day over two pounds. Jason Little/Chuck/Brodie had the most weight of all fishermen last winter.......they were using double 3/32........you guessed it.......Litewirehooks.

Looks like a great day

Nice post skiff89jr , Crescent is a great lake but with the pressure over the years it will prolly decline like Talquin & Monroe have.

I like tournament fishin but now that crappieusa is havin a 2 day in JAN & comin back in NOV, it won't take long to see a change

FL needs a size limit on crappie, state wide

I agree. I would be for a state-wide minimum length of 10 inches. Haven't fished monroe, but I think a 12 inch minimum would be awesome for Talquin and Cresent.
