Cold Front Crappie/Deep in the Grass/Caney Creek/10-18-11

After the Rain and Cold Front I was having trouble getting any kind of bite in the pads on Caney Creek today so I started thinking if I was crappie where would I bury up to stay warm? I looked down the creek and said those alligator grass mats sure look warm and that is where i went to battle and caught almost all my limit today. I would finess my # 811 Midsouth or white and Chart tube down through the grass and THUMP. Time and Time agian. Allot of my hits would come when I raised the bait up just a foot under the mat. Reminded me of grass ice fishing. Caught a couple of real nice blacks today and there was hardly no one on the water. TAV2 it was nice seeing you out there today how did you do? I'll bet you got a limit also. It was chilly out there today and for the first time I felt the sting of fall on my face and thought winter slabs are just around the corner. Hope you enjoy the Pics. Tight Lines...

Nice catch CP!!! As always ;-)

Wish I had your time!!!!!

Always good to see you out there CP. I managed a limit. Overall size still 10" - 11" but I kept five that were 12". My fish also came outta gator grass cept for one little area of shallow pads that was plumb loaded. Caught 11 fish outta a 10' x 10' area. CP, it was where u saw me when you were makin your move. Had my limit but kept catchn em til I had to go. I've never caught post front crappie that were hittn that hard. Fun stuff! Caught mine on chart/white again. Sorry no pics lol.

Good Job TAV2 I saw you doing battle with em. Allot of fun pulling em up through the grass mats.

Dang , i knew i should have gone back to Caney ! Went and played golf instead ! Darn golf balls dont eat well , and in no way are as fun as vertical jiggin !! Congrats on some good fish .......prolly see yall friday , i gotta work a day or two .......tj

Keep after em boys, you'll not have much company with the cold and Deer season this weekend.

Nice Catch!

Nice catch guys

Nice catch, hope to be there later this week.

There is just no hiding places for those poor little specks. They can run but they can't hid from CP. Good work. I had a good afternoon Friday but didn't go yesterday.

Good catch guys!!!
