Anyone hear about this? I saw a flyer posted at the ramp yesterday. 20$ per person entry, paying 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for biggest fish with 100% payback. Dec 6th. Due to the lack of cooperation on the fishes part yesterday, I don't think I will be attending :eek:
Might have to go check it out. Sounds like a show up at the ramp sorta deal. Did it have any times on it?
Guessing fishing was less than desirable for you out there yesterday. Won't be able to check it out 'till next weekend.
I don't recall seeing any times posted but I wasn't looking too hard. seems like the state park was putting it on. I believe I am oncall that weekend so even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to make it.
I would love to fish it but I have to leave for work 11/28 and won't be back until01/08/09.
I saw it posted on the door at the information center when I was by there the other day. It looked interesting....the bite may be in full swing by then maybe. I have never fished Cane Creek and I picked up a map of the lake at the info center while I was there. A good map but doesn't chart any depths and CC (and Monticello lake) isn't shown on any of the GPS graph charts. I was wondering if anyone has fished the open water in front of the spillway and how deep it gets there. Are there underwater stumps in the open water on the East end of the lake like the rest of the lake? If it is clear it looks like that would be the place to spider rig some jigs/minnows. Was wondering if anyone has tried it there. Everyone I talk to says they can't troll CC because of the stumps but maybe they haven't tried. I like fishing the timber as well as anyone but have a real passion for putting out a bunch of rods and watching those tips start to quiver!
Last year in Nov CEB posted a map of the lake with a good spot marked; you can do a search for it.
The open water on the east end if fairly shallow 4ft-5ft and no cover, I guess they bulldozed it into a flat when they made the lake. Never did any good there.. apparently the deep water in the treeline to the left of ramp is only place anybody catches anything. (look for the boats) ;)
Water was clear as gin last time I was there couple weeks ago. It's been pretty much the dead sea for me, only caught 1 or 2 per trip (or none). If you get one, it will be a good 'ern, but may take you all day. From what I've seen LA Stumpjumper must be the expert on this lake..:D How bad was your trip Bobberwatcher?
