Cane Creek
Friday, May 04th, 2018 | Author: admin
When Jackson and I talked about going to Cane Creek, I said I wanted to go in my boat because it needed washing out. There was a 50% chance of rain and the boat had been in the garage for a month. We were on the lake at 6:00 ready to fish. Jackson had on a rage tail shad and I had a Ribbit although there were some waves in the open water. The rage tail shad soon caught one and had another bite that did not connect. By then I had changed to a swimbait for the open water and the stumps. One bit and was snatched up out of the water but came unpinned. Soon we were in some lily pads and I changed back to the Ribbit that caught the FOD that was 3 pounds. Almost immediately thereafter it caught another . The lily pads are like everything else this year, a little late, and are just unfurling their leaves. There were many beautiful places to fish. The Ribbit was catching one every now and then. Bites were few and far between. Jackson went through a collection of hollow body frogs with no bites. One popping frog I thought was particularly good but not even a bite. By 2:00, with 8 fish, we were discussing calling it a day when Jackson said that he came with a bait tied on and had not used it and wanted to try it before we left. He had a fluke on that rod and proceeded to fish with it. After he caught one, he then proceeded to give a fluke fishing demonstration. The fish were in the openings in the pads and a fluke thrown there was going to get scarfed. We ended up with 16 when we quit at 5:00. It did not rain on us except a little in the morning so the boat looked like it was not going to get a bath but on the way home in Lake Village there was a toad strangler that did a great job.
