Caney Lake (Jonesboro), Wednesday, March 27, 2013

[Harry Jones]

I'm on spring break, so decided to go and fish this lake.  Air temp. was 43 degrees at 0930, water temp. 55 degrees, so I started on several points off the main lake with a jerk bait, no bites.   Went to the last creek up by the dam, went up it to the hwy. bridge and worked it over with a variety of baits, no bites.  Started warming up, so I start looking for sows spawning, and went a long way , almost all the way back to the big lake and saw no, repeat no sign of spawning fish!   Went back toward Ebnezer launch and fished the old road bed with a Carolina rig, NO BITES!!!!!  Previously had worked multiple docks and boat houses in varied depths of water, NO BITES.  Found several brush piles and worked them over in 8 to 12 feet of water late in the p.m. NO BITES.  So on the lake where the La. big bass was caught I went all day with NO BITES  !!!!  ABA # 98 has a tourney there on April 13.  Only thing is it may heat up enough to get them spawning and acting like BASS! Only time will tell!  If anyone fishes here, let me know your results.

Those are the kind of days that make you think all of the fish are down there pointing at you and laughing!!!

I fished Caney on the 15th, 20th and our club tournament the 23rd.  The first two outings caught them on beds, during the tournament caught some post spawn bass in one of the creek arms where a creek channel ran next to a point using a lipless crank bait.  A lot of the guys in our club said they caught some of their fish on beds.  The water temp in the shallow water of the creek arms was getting into mid to upper sixties before these fronts came through.
