Gold Creek weekend report (pics)

Went to the pool on Saturday during the toad-floater. Started around 8ish and left around 1:30. Caught 13 good eaters and probably 8 throwbacks. Caught 'em on rosies from 1-5' deep suspended over the deeper water. Dan weighed 'em for me and ended up with a pair of 1.5 and one 1.12. Rained a little harder than I would like, but the pool wasn't too crowded...:D

Biggest 3 from Sat...can you tell how cold it was?

Went back today for some more action. Dano's reports of big hawgs coming out of there has got me pumped. Water had come up at least 8", as Dan said. Could barely fit under the pedestrian bridge...:eek: Water was pretty muddy. But the crappie were bitin' like crazy. Started off with a small throwback while I was gettin' the rods out, and the morning just kept gettin' better afterwards. Fish were chasin' shad everywhere, so I hunted for 'em with rosies set at 2' deep. Caught about 17 by 10am. One crappie hit so hard, I thought the pole was actually gonna break...I was burning across there with the trolling motor on high, not really fishing but just moving to another part of the pool...and out of nowhere, here's comes a big ol' goodurn on my outside rod. She bent at least 3/4 of the rod underwater...:cool: Fish started slowing down a little after 10am. Finished out my limit on rosies at about 4' deep. All the crappie were good'uns...most around the 1lb mark. Big fish was 1.14, weighed by dano himself. Well, that's my report for the weekend, and just a little appetizer for next weekend's get-together. Now for a few pics...

Good looking fish Ceb. My days off have been to windy to fish lately. Managed an even dozen fish on Fri. Would have had more but trolling motor went dead on me after a few hours. Guess I will be getting another in a few days before trying again...Rick

Nice looking fish there Chris! Man if you want to see muddy water, come down my way! I went and ran some yo-yo's down the bayou and we caught 2 catfish. Don't know how they could see the bait, had to have smelled it!

Looks like you had a good day, Rainy! just the way you like it! :D

Chris; are you going to quit the medical profession and start your own guide service? You could call it "Rough Weather Guide Service"!! Fine fish!

Boy I know you hate your going to miss the gathering Saturday. Only way that could have been sweeter is if you had a crowd to watch you land those hawgs.

I was just letting ol' Goocher know who's number 1...:D

Thanks for the compliments guys. I figured those pics would get y'alls mouths waterin'. Hope all y'all can make it on Saturday. I'm sure that there's gonna be some big fish caught.

And I sure do like the sound of that Rough Weather Guide Service. I just don't know of too many clients that would fish on the days that I fish...:cool: Can't even find anyone to go for free on those days...:D But if they only knew how good the crappie was gonna bite, they wouldn't be worried about the wind, rain, sleet, and snow.

Just sittin' here lookin' through the replies, I got to thinkin' about how many of y'all I have fished with over the past couple of years. Have made a lot of good friends, and I'd be honored to fish beside any one of you. Lookin' forward to seeing some old faces again and meeting some new ones...just wish I had more time for both.

It has been discussed before. But, so far Gooch and CEB are the only two that has tried to organize anything people on this board does. I have experience with shutting a couple of clubs down once I became president; so, I have declined to lead us on too. I would love to have a club in Arkansas. It is just no one has time to get one going.

Yep, that's one of 'em at least. I prefer the 2 finger technique, so that you can really get in there and dig around...:D
