Fall Whim

Cedar Creek Reservoir

Time: 7:45 AM - 4:00 PM
Air Temperature: 54 - 88 degrees during trip
Water Temperature: 75 Degrees
Lake Level: 579.81
Weather Conditions: Mostly Sunny. Winds North 0-7 mph


I decided on a whim today to head over to Cedar Creek and crappie fish.  Why is this a whim, you ask? Well, I typically hang up my crappie rods (quite literally, I have a very nice rod rack) from May until late November.  I usually chase catfish during summer and fall months.  However, I had a hunch I might could catch some crappie on submerged brush and there was a taste of fall in the air, so I gave it a go.

And limited out!

I concentrated entirely on the east side of Britton Bridge and mostly around the bay where the powerlines cross.  All caught on white and chartreuse tipped with a tuffie or a slip bobber with a tuffie in 12-14 FOW. Caught 49 total and took my 30 fish limit home.

It was an all-around perfect day.  Think I will try it again very soon!
