Photo op from CC

Well I had a good feeling the other night, so I decided to head down to Cane Creek before the front moved through. I fished yesterday and today. Yesterday was tough to say the least. I spent all day to get 13 with a couple of throwbacks. Most were caught shallow side of the treeline, but this sure enough slab came from the one of the older spots that hadn't been producing here lately. Here's the story...I got there at around 7:30 Monday morning and started setting out my poles. Before I could get my thrid pole out, he nailed it. He sat in the livewell all day Monday and Monday night. I finally found some scales and weighed him at 7:00 this morning, so he had pretty much been in the livewell for 24hrs. He weighed 2-14 to 2-15 on a seed scale. Maybe he would have been 3+ if I would have been able to weigh him sooner? Oh well, I was talked into getting him mounted for a Christmas present, so I went ahead and did it. Good thing is that I still have time to upgrade if I find another one.

I finished out Monday with 13. Got 15 today, with one at least 2lb (again, no scales).

Big fish from yesterday and today.

good catch,i think i would ask santa for a small hand held digital scale from bps

chris,
If that fish was 3lbs, you could take some scales off of him, send it to the game & fish, and get that master angler pin. I do think they want the fish released though. Real nice.

Ceb, those are some nice fish. I'm still after a 3 lber. myself. I saw one caught Sunday, it sure was nice.

They look like monster's! A few of those and that ice chest would bust:eek: !
Looking fwd to meeting you at Larto in January.:p :) :cool:

Ceb, Congrats on your catch, the numbers may not have been there for you, but it looks like the quality was. That's an awesome fish. Don't blame you for hanging it on the wall.

Great catch CEB. That's the crappie of a lifetime. We're supposed to be off all next week (though clients don't always see it that way) so maybe I'll see you out on the LM some.

Have a great Christmas.

Awesome slabs. I've got that 2-12 black crappie in the freezer from this last January and when I get back to work after the first of the year I'm going to be working for a white that will go with the black in a double mount.

ceb,
That's as nice a crappie as I've seen in a while. Congratulations! :)

Randy

Man I sure hope your not planning to put that little dink on the wall where my picture is.

Great fish man, i caught a 2lb14oz white crappie a couple of years ago. I should have got her mounted. Those white crappie make some beautiful mounts. Im waiting on another one to come soon.

Thanks for the replies. It's nice to have a great community with which to share my experience. I'll be back for more after Christmas, because there are a bunch of big fish in that lake.

And yes Gooch, it's gonna hang right next to that picture of you in the LSU thong.:D

Wow nice catch.....cant wait to get to fishing.

All I can say is MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ceb, How about doing us all a favor by putting it directly over Gooch's pic (covering it up) We really don't need to see him in a LSU thong.

Great catch CEB!. I think I will go to either CC tomorrow, or Degray. CC is closer for me, so I think that is where I am heading.

Well, I ended up over at CC this morning. I got there around 8 and didn't catch a fish till 9:30ish. Caught them all on Rosey Reds about 5'. Caught 10, but chunked one back. All the others were really good fish. Had a set of shoulders on each of them and sure they will fry up rather nicely. Several boats out there when I left around 3 and one guy had one a little over 3 lbs it looked.. HUGE. I think I was the only one throwing shiners...and the only one that had a mess of fish to speak of. :D

Nice mess of crappie there bobberwatcher. Were they over close to the edge of the tree line, that's where they were last weekend. I hope to be there this weekend. I think there is a state record in there somewhere. I'm looking for a 3 lb to put on the wall.

LA, they were just inside the treeline. I caught ever single one of them within a 20' area....right smack dab in the middle of the "Willie Hole". They turned on for about 30 min and turned right back off. Several folks there. One fellow, didn't catch his name but he was fishing out of a F&F using a jig under a bobber. (Doesn't believe in using shiners or a dip net either.) :rolleyes: He was showing off one that was 3 lbs for sure. Looked like the size of a cast iron skillet when he held it up. I agree, the state record crappie will soon be caught from Cane Creek. I am having a hard time believing that all the crappie in that lake is within a 2 acre patch though.
