Fish and Friend (pics)

A friend from work and I went to C Creek today. We had a great time, the fishing was still slow but we got some really nice crappie. We fished out in the middle of the beaver pond and ended up with 11 good fish. I now have a new record big crappie, a 2lb. 14oz. bruiser, beating my last years fish of 2lb. 9oz. Called in and took another vac. day for tommorow to try them again. The 11 crappie weighed 20lb. 2oz.

It's great to share days like this with friends.

Woohoo...Glad you got a big'un today...that's not too far off your mark, Jerry. I wonder if they'd mind if I took a day off tomorrow???

Congratulation! If it wasn't a 95 mile pull I would be there tomorrow.

I live in Georgia, and am almost willing to make that pull!!:D

looks like ya'll had a good day on the water Jerry. WTG

It's 3 hours for me but I will be back. Those are the prettiest fish I believe I have ever caught. Size was not bad either.

Beautiful fish. I actually played with the idea of returning today but figured I would get called into work...which I did. Spent a few hours up on Conway this morning. Very slow today for everyone but a good morning nonetheless.

Looks like a good trip Jerry, may not have gotten a limit, but yall got some good quality fish. And Congrats on your "new" big fish.

Bobby and I went back to Cane Creek today and it was very slow. Started off catching a big fish 2lb 3oz early then I didn't catch another fish until 12:15
Then Bobby caught 3 crappie and 1 bass. Nobody seemed to be catching today. I added the total weight of yesterdays post, it was 11 fish totalling 20lb 2oz.

A picture of a couple of good ones caught today.

Even though it was slow we had a great time. I guess I'll go back to work tommorow as bad as I hate to. It's supposed to be hot anyway. Will try them later in the week.

L.A. your causing me to have serious with drawl fits cause I had to come back to OKLA. and leave such a beautiful place to fish. Keep posting and I'll keep taking my medications lol.

Ok thats it....I'm taking a day off soon and going down there! That's awesome Jerry! You still catching them on the road runners?:D

TJ these were caught on rosie red minnows under a slip cork, about 4 feet deep in 13-15 ft water.

Looks like you are havin the same luck as me and KKtPFP. 1 day we will be on fire and the next we have a very hard time, but the 1's we do catch are pretty good fish. I cant establish a pattern, some are caught at 10 feet and some are caught at 25 feet. well I guess thats why they call it fishing and not catchin

No TJ, I was using 1 or 2 poles with a slip cork, just throwing it out and watching for a bite. Just started fishing this way the last couple of weeks, it sure is a relaxing way to fish. I fished 6 days in a row and was still able to walk. Usually a weekend of fishing will get me down in the back if I'm running the trolling motor and casting all day. Ceb and Randybendham and Creekslick were spider rigging and they caught more fish. Good luck when you get to come down here. If you see me on the water come by and visit. I may go to M. point Friday, and depending how I do I may be on CC this weekend.

Jerry, those are some great fish you have there. Congratulations on that big one. I was going tomorrow, but wind is supposed to be 15+ mi./hr. so I don't think I will be going to the lake. Darbonne gets some pretty good waves on it with that much wind...Rick

Jerry, looks like some real good fish you're bringing up out of there! Congrats on that new record! I think you were rewarded for getting your brother on his big one!

I have to agree, those are some beautifully colored fish. Congrats on the catch and thanks for sharing it with us.

Great looking fish there Jerry.

Good fish there. I started spider rigging a couple of years ago and sitting in one place with a few poles out. My favorite way is still fishing a single pole with a jig going from tree to tree, buts its nice to sit back and let the poles do the work for you sometimes. Plan on being at Star City during Thanksgiving and working in some fishing time.

I wish I could figure out how to get all the poles do the work. Sometimes I think it's a never ending battle with the stumps out there on CC...except when you fish just over the top of 'em.;)
