Any reports from Cedar creek?
Had some friends that went there Friday and according to them fish were not biting. They said they talked to several others that had the same luck. Also said that parking spaces were scarce....go figure!!!!
anybody :confused:........thinking of going Saturday Morning !!!!!!!!
anybody?.........been wanting to go
My wife and I went Monday night and didnt get a bite except for a channel cat that swam by and got hooked in the back. Didnt see anyone else who caught anything.
... and see if you can hookup with him. :p
He seems to be the only one I know, catching anything of value from Cedar Creek. :D
I've found a pattern that works good during the spawn, and one "honey hole" that usually holds fish, later on ... but, it was empty last time I fished it :o
I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad to see that the "moss" is (mostly) gone. I just wish there was some pads or water grass growing there. I think it would benefit the Black Crappie, & the Bass.
... cp :cool:
CP fish I have been catching are in grass. I think it is called hydrilla. havent caught any that have not been in the grass.
Then, would that mean that you're fishing back in the back end of the lake, or in one of the creek arms :confused:Quote:

Were you scoping out the grass with the depth finder, or were you pulling some up with your hooks ?? If you can find a grass bed in good water depth, then you've found where the Crappie are gonna be hanging out ... esp Black Crappie. Used to be grass/moss around the rip rap of the dam launch ramp parking lot ... and you could stand on the bank & catch 5-6-7" dinks from daylight til 11ish. That's where they placed some of the buckets with stakes, but even they don't produce much, anymore. The grass/moss is still there, but mostly on the bottom ... and it doesn't grow up to the surface, like it used to do.

going down to Cedar at night to try'em out when the sun goes down.....there calling for rain tho' ....well, pull out the old 200mph suit....( more like 10-20 mph suit) ha ha ha
friday....sorry left that out of previous post
caught crappie in 23-30 fow with black light , fished there all night caught about 8 buddy caught 13.....night fishing looks like the way to go.......atleast for me .
Did you get any of any size ?? Did you get a school of shad to come around your blacklight, or just Silversides (or was there "anything" schooling under the light) ?? Were you using minnows ?? How deep were the fish holding ??Quote:

yeah they was a bunch of little shad looking fish ( small enough - I could have netted' them ) around my lights on the front of my boat, when I had them on( battery consumption).... I had a submergeable light along with the lil black light I purchased from Sportsman to see my line......just set up over a few spots of cover that I know and in about 40 minutes here we go....my df was showing them way down there 39-55 -22- 12-17-17-9.4.....I just tried to split the difference ( after getting hung up alot ) then I caught some pretty good size ones ...all werent slabs or monsters but -they was crappie!!! going to have to do it again ....yeah I used minnows with limited lighting i hooked the ones that was really wiggling....lil action as an attractant
