Well guys, I hit the water over on Cane Creek today around 8ish. Ended up with 7 R_E_A_L_L_Y nice ones. I guess I need to ask Santa for a set of fish scales so I can actually see how well I am doing. These fish today are the biggest I have ever caught.

Man Them Are Some Nice Looking Fish. Nice Job. From What Pics I've Seen From Cane, They Must Go From Fry To 1 Pounders In A Week. You Don't Really Need A Scale. Your Doing Great. Congrats.
Hey bobber those are some really nice crappie. Glad to see you got in on some of the action. Those crappie at cane creek will spoil you fast. I cant wait till the next time I can get down that way.WTG
I am going to try to be there Sat. morning early.

Way to go Allen, those CC crappie will spoil ya.

I usually have a North wind.) I ended up with my ultralight and a slip cork around 4-5' deep with rosies. I had one really nice one get off. (I think my knot broke.) Bugman, Cane Creek is in Star City Ar. Let us know when you are coming and I bet a couple of us will be over there and can put you on em.
Beautiful fish Bobber. Once the relatives are gone Saturday I may try to slip down there Sunday morning.
Nice catch bw
Nice job Allen. I have to get down there one day. It was 21 degrees here this morning. But thankfully, no snow.
Dave, It was 18 here at 5:30a. No tourny for me tomorrow. give me a callQuote:

Where is cain creek?
heard a lot about it and would like to fish it but do not know where it is.
Any help you could give me as to color of jig or type of minnow,deepth of water fished in would be greatly appreciated.
this isn't bobberwatcher, but I can give you some info on cane creek lake. it's about 5 miles east of star city arkansas. (1 hour south of pine bluff) most people use minnows (rosies) fished about 4 feet down. there are some diehard jig men out there too. black / chart works well, but some other colors will work too. I have been successful spider riggin down there with rosies, not tried other techniques yet, but will soon. there is a set of cypress trees that are to the left of the state park launch. that is where everyone generally fishes this time of year. good luck.
Well put Randy. On these seven that I caught, I caught them under a thill slip cork about 5 foot deep on rosie's. I didn't catch a fish while spider riggin cuz of the dang blamed wind. (steady 10-15 mph from the south with an occasional 250mph gust :D ). I ended up just tying up to a tree throwing upwind and letting the wind blow it across the "sweet spot". And when I say sweet spot, I mean sweet spot. All seven came from a 1ft circle and was the only place I could find them.
Man...ain't it the darndest thing about that 1' circle...I'd swear it's about like findin' gold...:D
great pics!........kp
