February Fish and Eat

It's been way to long since we had a fish and eat, and judging from the board activity folks are thinkin fishin. The problem is CEB and I are just way to busy to properly plan and set up for one right now so here's the deal.

I kicked an idea around with Danno up at Gold Creek and here's what we came up with. For 15.00 for boaters and 10.00 for non boaters he will set us up a place to gather and provide and cook burgers, polish sausage, potato salad, beans along with your minners and launch. In my time crunch it's worth a 50.00 to not have to go to the store to get the crap, not to mention dragging the grill and all the cookwear up to the lake along with the boat and gear. I'm trying to post a poll to get you guys feedback but not having any luck so please chime in and let me know your thoughts on a date and time we can all get together at Gold Creek

Another idea I had that LR Joe also brought to light was the sinking of brushpiles. If we do get a date set I would like for those that can to bring some condo of some type we can sink. Just like last time we all picked up a new condo hole we never had before. I would just love to see a post from some member holding a hawg he caught off a community condo so keep that in mind as well.

Sounds great. I can come just about any day.

I am hoping that CEB and gooch will spy on the Carhart Man between now and then to see what he is using so we can fish his spot. He must have some naked female crappie jig that the males are going nuts over.

Hey Gooch. It's good to see you back on the board lately. Thought for a while you had forgotten your login info. I guess you weren't swept away by a beautiful caribbean queen, so its back to reality....Count me in on the fish-n-eat.

Me and my fishin partner would love to come out and meet some of ya'll if it falls on a weekend that I can get away. She has already been bugging me to get up a trip now that duck season is over.

The 9th or 23rd would be good for me! Thanks for coming up with a good idea that will make it easy on everyone!

Gold Creek? Is that on Conway where I can't get my boat in? If so, I can be a non-boater if I don't have a paying trip that day.

hey Darryl,here at gold creek I have new ramps,I assure and guarantee no problem launching,nor navigating to the famous pool.large bass boats including Rick Clunns bass boat no problem!also not stumpy in this part of the lake.i would like to say i will put out extra effort for everyone to have a good time and eating and fishing.hope to try to make it an annual event.

Yeah, it sounds like the same place. I could launch my boat no problem but could not get my center console bay boat under the walking bridge at this one cove where all the house were. If my cuz (grubby) comes I could bring my other boat though and we can fish together. Sounds like great fun if I'm not working. Might give me another change to yell, "FISH ON" (ya'll know that's going to be my trademark, lol).

Sounds like a good time Gooch. Any date ya'll pick will be good with me, except the 9th. I'd be a non boater, don't want to drag mine the 200 mile round trip.

any date will be good for me i picked the 23rd so maybe it will be warmer I would really like to attend to me all of you

I would love to make; are there RV sites there. I will be working on the 23rd.

Feb 16th or 23rd and I am there.

Gooch - what an idea. I'll go for the 9th, 16th, or 23rd. Darryl. There's room for you in the big flat bottom if you don't want to bring your boat.

yes i do have rv sites,2 with 220v hookup,2 with 110v hookup,with adittional charge for overnight.20-25$ neg.i also have fplenty of rent boats.basic with outboard 25$ for all day.better ones for 35$ with extras.lowe loaded 45$,16' bass tracker starting for75$,gas supplied.if any of you need to call-501 607 0590.fish on!

Glad to hear that there's some solid plans in the works. It sure does bum me that I don't have the time to get stuff together for us, but glad to know that the interest for the get-togethers is still there. Now I just hope that I can make it, as the months of Feb and March will be busy ones.

my vote is for the 23rd. barring any big surprises, I would like to try & make it.

i am new to the site i kinda know what you are talking about but could you give a few more details . thanks

Hotdawg we have these informal gatherings and just fish then eat together. Were meeting at Gold Creek Landing on what looks to be the 23rd and fish that day and afternoon. We will meet sometime around sunset to eat then some go home and others go back out and nightfish.

We would love to have you join us even if your without a boat. You can jump in with me or anyother of the members. We always have some new guys join us for these and hope you can join us for this one

Be nice if we could pick a Saturday based on a favorable weather forecast on maybe Wednesday? and maybe even a favorable fishing report from ol' Dano?? I actually drove through Gold Creek last year while you eskimo's were out there cooking and working on the Shortboat, rolled the window down on the truck and decided it was too cold to get out and shake hands much less get out in a boat.

Dano, hear of anybody on that side of the lake losing a 14' flatbottom during the hurricane yesterday? Had one show up at my place at Adams Lake, chained it to a tree, anyone that can describe the make, color, and a few mods done to it and they can claim it. I still haven't found my 8x10 shorage shed!!

here,here on that hurricane,i was on my roof 60 mph wind holding down my shingles,popping nails in them.saved them all on the house,lost about a bundle on the bait shop,but all repaired now.i thought i was crazy till i remembered there was 2 guys out fishing.they caught 3-4 fish.i sure hadn't heard about a boat.if i do ill pm you information.yesterday rented a boat 2 boys,4 hrs came back with 2- 5 gallon buckets full crappie.8ft deep under iron bridge.chartreuse grub worm.

Hey Buddy
It is the same place. But, you proved how far you could cast in Cane Creek. I bet you could cast over that bridge and to the other side of the pool if you see some one else catch a fish.
If I make it, I will have a spot for you or anyone else.

If the meeting is on the 23rd I will be there.

I am very new to all of this and have no tackle to speak of. I do have a few trout rods from the untrained eye they look the same. I have a couple of collapsible poles, the fiberglass type that one section slides into each other for storage, I think they are 12 ft. I do not have much artificial bait, what is best to use during this time of year. I do have some jigs. What do I need to bring to fish with? I have a 1648 aluminum boat with a 25 hp motor on back, I use it to duck hunt with. It is bare bones with one seat on back pod for me to drive with. It has the two back pods and smaller front deck nothing in middle. The front deck has hole for pedestal and seat but I do not have one. It has no trolling motor or electronics yet, do I need to bring it? It was in good running order last weekend.


One of my New Year’s resolutions was to learn to Crappie fish. So I plan to start on the 23rd.

Looking forward to trip, any advice would be appreciated.

Rob

Now there is one fine new years resolution.

If your boats not set up for crappie fishing yet I would just jump in with one of us. It will be a great opportunity to see and fish from many different boat set ups which should give you all the ideas you need to set yours up.

Go ahead and put you some fresh line on em and bring your poles on out. Crappie dont seem to picky about the poles there caught with like green carp. If the fish are hitting jigs Danno will have some in the bait shop along with hooks weights and slip bobbers.

Look forward to seeing you on the 23

Come on out. We can all tell you a lie, and then we can go fish.

With all of us there, we will be sure to confuse you.

Guaranteed that you will hear a lie. Especially if ol' gooch is there. :)

Gooch only tells lies on those days of the week that end in "y"...;)

Are we going to make the 23rd official?

Hey Gooch, is this going to be the same place as last year? Maybe you could PM me when the date is firm so I can adjust my calendar? Thanks and tight lines.

It don't look like I will be able to make it to this one. I have a 12 hour night call on the 23rd, starting at 6pm. But, I just might end up being sick that night...::cough cough::
