I decided to take the day off of work today and start my spring crappie season at Cedar Creek. Glad I did!
I fished minnows under a bobber today in the shallows and caught every fish in the bushes/log jams/tree tops, etc in about 3-8 FOW. I fished all my typical spots. Fish were a bit scattered, but they are in the pre-spawn pattern with males beginning to stake out bed locations. Males are starting to get their spawning colors.
I caught almost exclusively males today. Had a lot of stolen minnows and caught about half of the fish in the blow down in the bend of the small end of the river. I picked up 2-4 in just about every place I stopped.
I caught my limit fish #30 right around 3:30 and stopped to recount. That's when I realized that I had kept every single fish I had caught today - ZERO shorts. Never had that happen before! I think I started the day with four dozen minnows. Had ONE minnow left when I finished with a limit!
I call that a success!
