Crappie Weekend (pics)

Went to visit the in-laws this weekend in Star City. I went ahead and took my boat so that I could get out on Cane Creek. LA Stumpjumer (Jerry) had been making some posts about the crappie out of that lake, so I had to go try it. Jerry had been casting roadrunners at them, so Saturday I casted for the majority of the day at them. Caught 4 keepers and a bunch of stumps.:D At about 3:30, I decided that I'd had enough of the casting, so I threw out two long poles and spider-rigged through the maze. That was the ticket for me, I ended up catching 7 more between 3:30 and 5:00. After that, I figured that I might stay another night. Went back out there this morning and spider-rigged with 3 poles. Had a limit of 15 by 11:00 this morning. Those are some beautiful crappie out of there, and probably the healthiest black crappie I've ever seen. The pics really don't do them justice. All were 11-13".

A couple from yesterday.

There were about 10 boats fishing this little 1 acre section of the lake. That's Jerry in the foreground, casting that dang roadrunner.

Jerry with a nice one this morning. That was without a doubt, a "football" crappie. He had some shoulders on him.

Chris,

That's a great mess of crappies! Way to go. So you had to show them how to do it.

Boy that looks like a great weekend. I spent the weekend in the deer woods with my kids. No kill. But saw a lot of deer.

Man why is it every time you step in a boat without me you just slam the fish?

Nice catch

They were bunched up in little 5 or 6 fish schools. You'd pull that many out of a spot, and then go looking for another spot. I think they were coming up out of the hydrilla and hitting it. Those big black crappie sure do put up a good fight.

Nice catch

I'm beginning to think it's the combination of the two of us. Probably too much running of the mouth, and not watching poles. They do call you chaty kathy for a reason.:D

Well you tell they (Casey) that mouth talkin does not effect pole bendin. Now it could be cause I am watching what I am cooking thats causing me to miss those bites . Perhaps I will just cut out the burgers, chili, fish, ect on the next trip so I can catch me a big ole mess.

Married couple? Oooooh I think I am going to be sick. I could do way better than CEB.

What part of Oklahoma do you live in? I have family in Hugo and have fished Lake Hugo a couple of times. I also have my wifes family in Okemah and have fished Lake Okemah several times.

Okemah

Hey Gooch. I once lived in Okemah as a young man back in 1971. Then I got drafted. Still visit there occasionally when passing through. Have a couple of friends still there.

My wife's mom and dad are from the area. His last name is Hardwick and her mom's is Ott. Really nice bucnh of folks up there. I always get tickled with there water towers in that town. They have two side by side and one says HOT and the other says COLD. My wife said she was 10 before she found out that hot and cold water didnt come from different towers.

Okemah

I do recall the name Hardwick...but it's been so many years. Yep, the water towers. The big one in the middle used to say Home of Woody Guthrie. I suppose it still does now that they have an annual festival for him. That issue was about tear town into with so much controversy back then. I was 18 years old and was on my to Colorado when my car broke down and ended up spending several days in Okemah waiting for parts. Ended up staying for several months. Work for Sam and Linda Wilson at the DX Travelmart. Still keep in touch with them. I lived right at the top of Broadway (600 block) -- rented from a wonderful old woman named Nettie Raney. LOL -- not a bad memory after 35 years.

Oh yeah, this board is about crappie fishing. Sorry. LOL -- I did catch a bunch of trout on the Little River over the weekend.
