Thought about doing the same....early January bite was slow but 3-4 nights with above 40degs might turn them back on a bit...
I'm bettin' walleye night bite is pretty good. Caught my biggest walleye around the end of January.
Boat hooked up and ready to go for morning. Haven't had a boat on Canton for 5 years. If I dont catch anything its not going to be from lack of trying.
have a good one fishin'!
Im curious myself keep us posted i fished hefner from the bank at night late jan thru march and have caught walleye . It just kinda creaps me out fishing at night with my back turned to all the passers-byQuote:

After they videoed me and started to leave, one of the girls asked if I had any fish. When I told them I had two, they said that was major bonus points, and they were sure to win. Knock on wood, I've fished many times after dark, but never had a problem. I have known others, though, who have been robbed and assaulted.
Was up there no bites.almost time to break out the blue cat gear crappie got me stumped. Canton needs to be like it was in 2004 winter crappie.every one had limits
Yep. :)
Anyone been to Canton lately?
Buddy has been going there daily. As far up the river as you can go.Quote:

Try to wake up the Canton thread, work slowing down a bit & thought about a crappie trip
Anyone been fishing lately? flooded willows sandy beach looking pretty good last week!!
Thanks
They dropped a TON of Striped hybrids in the lake end of last year once water got back to normal and the lake is overrun with those buggers making the Walleye and Crappie bites a tad bit harder. Have to get through the Hybrids to get to the good eaters. But they Hybrid fishing is amazing lol.
There are some brush piles in between the ramps at Canadian in 15' of water. about 7 of them. Also brush at the first fishing point along damn on south east side about 20 years from the end of the point. That 2 good areas to start fishing for crappie out there.
I'm from Stillwater and used to fishing at Blackwell, if I'm not on my boat I'm at the crappie dock. Was thinking of trying out Canton this weekend since I've never been, does it have a crappie dock? If so where about is it located?
No docks on canton that I'm aware of. They have some fishing areas/jettes at the dam. You can pull off the dam road into parking areas, then walk down to the jettes. Good fishing for spawning walleye there in early spring. Let us know if you do any good. I haven't fished it in years.

I fished canton Tuesday. Never seen the water so clear. Can see the rocks 10-12 ft deep. Not sure that's a good thing. I looked for sandbass from the dam to Canadian to big bend to the islands and even to the mouth of the river. Never marked um. Anyone have a suggestion where to find the sandies this time of year?
I have not fished Canton in 35 years. If you can find the shad balls they should be close by.
I used to wade fish for the sandies in the winter. The best spots were where there was a rock outcrop close to deeper water. The sandies would mostly hang right on the edge.
ps When boaters saw me catching the fish, they would come in, and the boat would spook the fish.
I vouch for the boats I have seen people fishing the bank and someone catches a fish then three boats like 10 feet from the fisherman on shore.Its gets crazy there impolite boaters there
We caught some 10s in the spillway slow rolling a black and chartroux crappie stinger with a slip cork 6ft deep. They where thumping best along the pillers caught 5 in 30 min. Kids caught a 3 lbs hybrid turned them all back just before sunset
