Double header...Gold Creek and Clear lake

Went out to Gold Creek and fished in the rain yesterday. Not too much boat traffic out. Caught fish until I ran out of bait at 11am. They were a little more suspended in the pool yesterday, 4-6' deep over 10-11' of water. Ended up cullin' out a limit of 10" fish, with a couple 13" being the biggest. Saw folks catchin' quite a few in the pads tightlining jigs as well. Blk/Chart and straight Chart seemed to be catchin' em. Didn't take the camera 'cuz of all the rain. Water temp 59

Went to Clear lake this morning. It was my first time there, and pretty foggy at that. I drifted the channel and saw plenty of baitfish, but the only things chasin' shad were the yellow bass. Caught the crappie holdin' very tight to cover in 11-12' of water, right on da bottom. Mainly fished the inside and outside bends back to the right of the launch. I definately liked what I saw, and will be back out there soon. There's definately some big crappie in there! Caught 11 and kept 10. All of 'em were good fish. The biggest was just over 2lb. Water temp 56. And now a few pics from today...

Took forever for the fog to lift...Stayed cloudy most of the mornin'

Thanks for the report CEB

Looks like you got their number...Good job....Thanks for posting the pics.

nice bunch of crappie you got there ceb.

Good job, thanks for sharing. I'm bound and determined to get out there one day this coming week...and weekend. :D

Good to see someone putting a stringer or two together up there. Too bad I don't live in the area now. It was once a favorite of mine. Go git 'em!

Some nice fish Chris, thanks for the report and pics. I think you could have done good on Cane Creek this weekend, the shad schools are out in the woods and the diving ducks are too. Did you see Steve's fish on my last post. Made me jealous. See ya next weekend at D'arbonne.

Chris, good looking fish there. Hopefully some like that will be caught next weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone....

Very nice man. WTG

Good looking fish Chris. Thanks for sharing them

Way to go Chris. Glad to see you did some good on Clear Lake. Thanks for sharing.

Appreciate all the comments guys. Too bad my month of freedom is coming to an end next week. It sure was fun while it lasted...and at least I'm going out with a bang this weekend.

Think I'm going fishing tomorrow. Can't decide between Conway and Clear lake. May mix it up and try the LMR. Guess I'll find out in the morning...;)

good luck

You have had a good run this past month. Tomorrow (Today now) should be pretty good early. Heard the wind might get up later.:eek: Course if you are in the cove the wind won't be too big a problem. ;) Look forward to hearing how you did. Good luck.

Great report. I would love to fish Clear lake again as I fished it over 40 years ago when my great uncle ran the dock on the Indian mound.:D
