Crescent Lake report....

Terry and I went to Crescent Lake today. Got to the ramp about 730. Morning was nice, not much wind and we headed to the north end. Trolled for a few hours and caught some pretty good ones. Wind shut us down by 1130 so we headed back against the wind and waves and it was a rough, long ride back. With some of those tiny dark colored bouys that mark the crab traps, we both kept an eye out for bouys so we wouldnt hit them. I wouldn't want to be out there going with any kind of speed in the dark.

Anyways, we ended up keeping the following....

15" - 1lb, 9 oz
14.5" - 1lb 9 oz
14.75" - 1lb 8oz
15" - 1 lb 7oz
14" - 1lb 4oz

Plus another handful of slightly smaller ones. Pics to follow in a bit. We are having fried fish tonight and saving the rest to bring to the next slab fest.

It was a fun day fishing with my best friend... :-). And fun to try out a new lake. Oh, and we thought we did pretty good, but on the way out we saw Russ and he got a couple of two pounders.... Wow!!

Ginny

I've been eating them only grilled for a while so having them fried tonight is going to be a treat! Then after tonight no more fried until slabfest day.

Ginny

I'd take them 5 over a limit everyday of the week, nice guys!

Nice report! :)

thought about crescent but opted for lochloosa. should have went to crescent. We only caught two then the wind run us off.

lightsoldier, you opted for quanity and not quality and got neither. Sorry to hear that.

Nice Job :cheers2

Danny.... We didn't see Russ out on the water. We saw him at the boat ramp afterwards. So I was being a smart azz but I don't really know the answer to your question... :-)

Yes, but not real close to shore. We were in 10-12 fow most of the time with 5 poles off the back of the boat let out real far (not sure how far that is but Terry always complains about how far I let the lines out when he's reeling in a fish... Lol. We didn't use any particular color although they did seem to bite better on darker body with some white or chartreuse thrown in on the head or tail but the old light blue silvery one got some hits too. Roadrunners didn't do as well... Maybe because it wasn't so sunny so didn't catch the sparkle. Who knows. We want to go try out dead lake. The north end is too far from the boat ramp.

This one was 14.5", 1lb 9oz. Not sure if the picture will show up since I'm trying to post it from my phone.

Ginny

Pic showed up just fine...Very Nice Fish!!!!!

Thanks, nice pic - it showed up good.

I have fished Cresent a few times & never caught a bunch but good quality fish.
We have always fished the North & East side & had good luck.
Tried the South & around the island before & nothing.
A friend of mine used to live about 1 mile from Dead Lake & he did good but always said he would only go if the wind was out of the South.:dono

Just got another update from Terry (and yes I'm working hard... :-)... He is in Dead Lake now, said there are about 20 boats there and he is catching some fish and caught one almost 16". He didn't send a weight on it yet.

I would rather be fishing!

Ginny

16" holy crap...........hey what's he doin catchin fish without you????

Not sure yet if I'm going to jig fish Dunns or Hawl creek or just troll at the slabfest

I know, right? He catches the biggest fish and had the most action in the shortest time while I was at work. He said all those boats were minner fishing so they were chumming for him and he just sliced through them and picked up the fish that all those minners attracted... Lol.

I think there's some truth to that cuz every time we get close to minner fishers with corks we seem to more fish than they do.

Terry said lots of people were doing well Jigging and corking close to shore.
