Cane Creek Lake winter crappie fishing.

I started fishing Cane Creek Lake in September 2006. Fishing on the weekends I caught my limit most of the time, with at least a dozen crappie well over 3lb and one over 4lb. On 12/26/2006 it took all day in the cold and wind but I did go home with my limit.

I have been using a crappie fishing method that I learned from some old timers that fish in and around lake Conway. We call it "floating a jig". The method appears simple but as all good fisherman know there is some thought behind any good technique.
[*]Equipment[*]Presentation[*]Dept[*]Color jig[*]Movement of jig[*]etc.

I have shared with many people what the equipment is - 11ft jig pole, 4lb test line, 1/32nd oz lead head inside of jig, small clip on bobber(the correct size), and smallest pinch weight.

Now with the basic equipment lets go fishing. :-)

Hey Lucky it sounds easy enough, now if I can hold my mouth just right.

I like your slogan how did you put it there.

Yeah, a lot of bass boats fish there. There is a lot of stumps out in the lake but where we are fishing is a lot of standing timber and it is not far from the State Park ramp.

anybody going tomorrow

If I had any vacation left tomorrow would be when I would go. Before the front comes through would be perfect. I wish I could be there, but I have to work. Sounds like a lot of rain Saturday, but I still might go if it's not storming.

I went today and STRUCK OUT AGAIN. :( Tried the "Lucky" technique and nothing. Tried the "ceb" technique and nothing. Tried the "bobberwatcher" technique and nothing. I wish I could go tomorrow, but gotta babysit the youngerns.

Oh yeah, BTW. If you are fishing on CC on the state park side and look across the lake and see the standing cypress, DO NOT say to yourself "Self, I bet there is some deep water over there in those cypress. Lets head over there." If you do, be prepared for a VERY stumpy and VERY shallow ride and when you get over there, get ready to come right back cause the deepest water is 6' :(

LA Stumpjumper,

You have a PM.

Thanks for the tips Lucky. Sorry for the late reply to your post, but I've been out there at Cane Creek the past few days catchin' your pets. Well, the crappie didn't fair too good, but those dam geese sure tasted pretty good!:D Again, thanks for the help, I better get to practicing if I want to catch some of the bigguns.

LA and I noticed today the 3 pet geese at the landing at CC are MIA. Surely those aren't the geese you have been munching on...

Friday there was only one. He just about got it with a boat paddle. He got mad just because I beached my boat in the sand. He lowered his head and was running toward me even before I got out of my boat.

I have had them do it to me in the past too. When nobody is around, I chase them around for a bit and as soon as I turn my back, here they come.. Pretty funny stuff. (They don't like it much when I talk about their momma either :D ). Hey Ceb, do goose feathers make good jigs? :D

:D Hey, take it from a pro...quit pullin' feathers when he goes to hissin' at you. Also, don't throw a dead minnow at him; that just makes 'em even more mad. Who knew a dang goose could do so much damage...
