Thread: Crescent Lake

We will be on Crescent tomorrow. Anyone else there stop by and say 'hello'. We will be in Don's 22' Sea Chaser "Red Alert".

Caught 13. Another disappointing day. We only stayed until about 10:45, things were just too slow. We fished the deeper water around bear Island. Didn't catch a thing unless we were in the 14 foot area.

Anybody give Crescent a try this past week or so? How about the north end around Dunns Creek? This is closer for me, but don't know if it's a waste of time or not.

It has been a long time since we did any crappie fishing but went to Lochloosa last week and Crescent today.

Had a sos-so day last week with 40 caught, 9 keepers (over 12 inches).

Today on Crescent was better. Caught 73 and kept 19, again, all over 12 inches.

Photos show the boat this morning and Don and i this afternoon with the fish.

Out usual rig... tightlining jigs (no minnows) and covering ground.

All the bad news we have heard being passed around about Crescent hasn't been the case with us.

Went again today for just over half a day on the water. Stayed mostly in Dead Lake and The Cut. Caught well over 50 (stopped counting) and kept 27. Of the 27, 11 were over 2 pounds with the largest being 2 pounds 13 ounces. None of the rest were below 12 inches and most were 13 or over.

All the fish on the left side of the table in the shot below are over 2 pounds. And I won the small fish award with about the tiniest Crappie I have ever caught. The tube lure was about 1 third of his length so gotta give him credit for trying.

Some really nice fillets went in the freezer tonight.
