Jackson and I went to Cane Creek this morning.  We found more people than we usually find there, maybe due to the fact a 12 pound 1 ounce fish was caught there last week.   A little more wind than we expected was blowing but not too much to fish in.  A Ribbit frog was the first thing we fished with but none of the usual spots were very productive.  I also had on a popping frog until one hit and the line snapped due to my not retying my line. Pure laziness on my part. We finally fished a line of pads close to deep water and the bass there seemed to be cooperative. We caught a few there, including the FOD of 3 – 15. Cane Creek is a pretty lake, full of stumps, with acres and acres of lily pads. This picture was taken in 2009 and it looks the same today.

As always when you fish with Ribbits, we missed some fish by getting them hung up in the pads. I had a particularly rough stretch of luck that extended over to  the spinnerbaits we fished with out in the stumps after the Ribbit bite dried up. Most of the fish we caught were around 3 pounds, one side or the other, except for one fish that was smaller.  We ended up with 10 in all and had action for most of the day. Unfortunately we couldn’t take advantage of the ” action” and put a lot more fish in the boat.
