Fishing Near Cc

[straw hat]

Ran to the lake for a couple hours last night and fished a steep rock bank in the CC area. It was cloudy and chilly but managed to find the crappie around 12' deep. Nailed 16 before it got to dark. Water temp was still a little low, 52. Well this made us pretty excited about today. Got up early and hit the same bank. In the morning before the wind came up we got 16 crappie, a 3 lb channel and one nice white. In the afternoon they sure did shutdown. Only caught one more keeper crappie and finally called it quits around 4 PM. The fish were deeper today, 12 to 20'. Hopefully with a few warm daays they will come back up shallow again.

Great report Straw Hat. I haven't been up there in a couple months. Planning on making a trip this friday to look for some crappie. Not sure where to take the boat to. Any suggestions? Thanks (thunderin gobbler. I had to change my screen name)

Good to hear from you again. I am going to check out two more spots tomorrow, one near Ruark and one near Hartley. I think spawning will just be getting started by Friday around CC. I know a few people caught some spawners north of CC where the water wasn't cooled (and muddied) as much by the incoming water from Big Sac. I will post how I do on these other two areas including water temp. Maybe that will help you decide where to hit on Friday.

What is meant by the Cc area? Thanks!

That is the area around the greenfield access off of Hwy CC.

Hit a cove about 1 mile north of Hartley. Real clear. Six foot visibility. No crappie but did manage to pick up one 15 1/2" smallie in 18' of water. Water temp was 54. Went to Maze creek, still dingy with a water temp of 54. Hit a cove about 1 mile from Ruark. 54 degrees, caught 1 spawning crappie but couldn't find any others on the bed yet. My best suggestion is still the CC area. They have been running just off the points in slightly deeper water. Wish I could be of more help. Good luck and let us know how you do.

I may somewhere along there on Friday evening as well. Good luck!!! Good luck with the kids also. I knew that the government was hard up for money but I am not ready to fish those "fee coves" yet. lol
