Info on Cane Creek lake, Star City

1st post for me. Been coaching 25 plus yrs in south arkansas. Starting to wind down a little. Bought boat last summer. My youngest plays softball at tourn in Rison on sat. eve. Thought wife and i might check out Cane creek that morning and circle back through for game. I'll be looking for bream mostly but will fish for white perch if they are biting. I heard its a good lake. Would someone please share some insight on where to go on this lake. Im an old rookie at this fishing stuff. Thanks in advance and i hope everyone fills up their coolers this weekend. Weather looks great down south!

Don't waste your time not what it used to be !!!

Sorry, im not familiar with that lake. I can help you with Conway I you are ever out this way. Welcome to the mad house!

I never did any good crappie fishing there, but bream were plentyfull when I was just out of college (15 yrs ago). we would always launch at the state park, and hang a right leaving the ramp and fish all the woody structure for a couple hundred yards. Crickets and worms.

I haven't been there in a few years. But, it used to be a good lake for big uns. DP

Wish I could help.:dono But, welcome from Batesville just the same.

Thanks for help so far. I like getting out on different lakes from time to time. We may not catch a thing but we will pass a good time!

I think you're still a little early for bream fishing, but if I were going there I would leave boat ramp at state park, take left through beaver pond (follow marked trails) go 100 yards work to the right through the trees to the edge and fish from there to the shallower water, there's a little channel outside the trees that runs between them and the big shallow flat. They should be around 5-8'. I've not heard of anyone catching much lately, but this warmer weather should start them moving shallow. There are some good ones in there, but may be couple of weeks before its right.

Good info Tetanus. You're a credit to the forum. Welcome from Batesville.

Wow! Thanks Tet! Full moon is tomorrow night so maybe we will hit it right.

Water is really high right now. Bream would be better when it warms up more. Very, very few crappie being caught.

Me and the wife spent most of the day sat at cane creek. Didn't catch a bunch, about 10 nice bluegills, but had a great time together on a gorgeous day. Thanks to those who gave info! I wish y'all had been wrong about it being a little early but we had fun anyway. Only bad thing was hanging my boat seat on trim switch and screwing it up(see mechanic forum).
we topped of the day by watching our daughters softball team get a big come from behind win at the district tourn!
Thanks again and I hope your ice chests are always full!
