Doug and Douglas joined me today for our annual Cedar Creek crappie outing. I was tougher than my last trip for sure. A front moved through a couple days earlier and I think they may have changed things a bit.
We started a repeat of my last trip, but fish were difficult to find in the shallows. We caught a couple scattered here and there, but no big numbers at any spot in particular. After a hard time in the shallows, we set up on deep structure and pulled 5-6 fish out of the deep on jigs tipped with minnows. The deeper fish seemed to be bigger females.
Action picked up a little bit after lunch and we pulled a few decent fish out of the Lost Creek area around boat docks and creek inlets with minnows under a bobber.
We had a good day, but it was definitely tougher fishing. We ended up with 16 keepers. Should have had another 5-6 more for sure, but we struggled a bit with hook sets.
Douglas took the fish home and cleaned them. 4 of the 16 were female. Seems we're still fairly early in the spawn.
