It's supposed to be in the mid twentys Saturday morning. Just wondering who who will be fishing and where. I am going to try Cane Creek to see if I can catch that 3 lber. Hope the effects of the front are over by then and the fish are biting. I'm sure the presentation will have to be slow. I think I will start with a jig but have some rosie reds for backup. Hope everybody has a good weekend and post how they did and how they caught them. Stay warm.
One of the three most likely. However, if I don't, just let me say, this cold weather is going to be PERFECT for the crappie. It's going to start the water temps back into a downward direction and they'll be putting on the feedbag again with a vengence.
If I find some decent water, I'll be on the lake. I hope my wife's boyfriend get the chores finished i started. :D
Hey, I'm doing my best.:D :DQuote:

Looks like I will be stuck babysitting Saturday. (Unless I can find a babysitter.) If I get a chance to go, I will be at CC looking for Ceb and LA. I am like ceb, just can't get enough of 'em. Even though I only had 3 keepers Sun, It was worth the trip.
Wish it wasnt over 2 hours just to LR I would come that way...Not many places to go around here without a boat...But I do want to go
Wow TJ, I just realized what part of the state you are in...Dude, that's some dedication coming to Lake Conway to bank fish. You've got a ride in boat anytime.
I'll be at the Little Maumelle Saturday or Sunday. Maybe both days.
Wow, no kidding. Greenwood is a long way from Cane Creek. Doesn't look to far from Ouachita though. There is some decent brushpile within reach from the bank at Twin Creek landing.
HEY, LOL, I got two words for you................Go Fishing :D

I am also going to run a couple doz yoyos off the dock and do some nightstalking with some high watt shop lights plugged in to the dock.
Good luck at Ouachita it's one of my favorites. I beleive i am heading to Dardanelle Saturday so if anyone has been up there lately a report would be great. Hopefully the crappie will be schooled up under the bridges but may be a tad to early.

Dardanelle is really the closest place to me... My mom lives at Shoal bay, and I went to the narrows Thanksgiving and caught 5 in about 20 feet of water, they were all chasing bait fish....Also caught a 4 pound cat on a road runner...that was fun...What part of Dardanelle are you going?Quote:

I got married because I thought I was lonely. Now I can't fish because I am too busy being a husband.
Hey Pox
Where do you find them boyfreinds? I need to hire one.
Naw......really I am happily married. But, I sure don't get into my boat like I used to. My wife and I will be busy just about every weekend singing for some kind of Christmas party or event. Along with these events, we have been going to 2 church services aweek with Adam, then attending 3 a week at our church. All this churching and I can still get my wife mad at me.
I got a report about a pay lake somewhere around Totec Mounds. Can't remember the name. Anyone know anything about it?
I told CEB ast weekend that I probably will be back out New Years weekend. Looks like I will be correct with that statement.

DP,
The only pay lake in the scott area is Clear lake, & it is in england. It's pretty good. I haven't been on it since spring, but it usually has pretty good fishing in it. The pay ramp is $5 a boat i think. the lake on toltec mounds is mound pond / lake. if you live there it's a lake, if you just want to fish there, it's a pond! Our lake is private, w/ a gate to the road that takes you to the launching ramp, and now soon will be a lock on the launching ramp. too many litterbugs & poachers coming in w/ big bass boats. (there is a 25 hp restriction on the lake). Right now is a bad time to fish mound lake, because of low water. It almost dried up this year, and the developer of the property put a re-lift pump on it most of the summer to keep up with evaporation. Fishing has been real poor. when I fish at home, I can only put dinks in the boat. It's so low, that I can't use my heavier, more comfortable crappie rig, I have to use an old flatbottom that I keep down by the water.
What time are we rallying at Cane Creek?
I'll be there about 7 am. The major period is 8:40 to 11:50. Should be a good morning to fish. Good luck to all.Quote:

Cane Creek Lake: Cane Creek State Park said the water is clear and at normal levels. Crappie are biting excellently on minnows fished in 7 to 8 feet of water out in the middle of the lake. Catfishing is excellent on chicken liver and stinkbait.
Hey Jerry, I noticed that as well. I guess that you can consider "in the middle of the lake" anything that isn't on the bank. Maybe that's how they see it. Who knows?
Something that may interest you...I found the topo map of Cane Creek. The red crosshairs are directly over beaver pond (can move it around to see the where the rest of the lake is). Other than the fish farms up in the NE part of the lake and the points extending out of the west side of the lake, there really isn't anything else in the lake. What do you think?

Yeah, I agree the rest of the lake looks pretty flat, and most of the lake is pretty shallow. I know this from years ago trying to fish it.
Well now Gentlemen, I have found myself a babysitter! (My sis and law). Me and my brother and law will try to be there at daylight sat morning. Sure would be nice if someone has a coleman stove. I would be willing to bring some bacon and eggs. How nice would it be to eat breakfast while catchin slabs! Ceb, I will be looking for ya. LA, don't know what kind of setup you have, but I will be in a 16' war eagle mossy oak breakup with a 25hp merc. When you get to the ramp and see a dark red softtop CJ7, you know I am already there!
I am pretty sure my report came from a poacher. I doubt he has a big boat though. He has a shaved head and is about 5' tall. Don't shoot him please. He is my best forklift operater.Quote:

Bobberwatcher, I'll be in a 15 ft. War Eagle ducks unlimited boat not camo with a 25 hp johnson on a motor lift. See you tomorrow.
