    C-land Night Bite Wolf Creek/Caney Fork Results

    We went out Thurs 5-11. The wind was horrible and we did not spot many shad or blow ups. We threw mostly red fins, slivers, striper stike, and occasional buck tails. Results 0 fish. It was a disappointing night. Friday 5-12 the conditions were much better. We started spoting shad and blow ups around 12:30am-4:30 off the main channel of Caney Fork (dark side of the bank). We landed 1 short fish and 1 keeper off a point around 2:30 on a silver and black red fin. Saturday 5-13 we decided to go to the main lake. We saw shad and blow ups starting around 11:00 off main lake channel points going in to shallower water. Activity was high. This time all the shad and blow ups were in the moonlight. Threw mostly red fins and sliver resulting in 2 nice strikes(red fin) but 0 fish. We heard some animal making some horrible screaming sounds in the woods. Does anyone know what that was? Around 2:00 we went back to our Caney Fork spot and did not hear much of anything. Thank you for all the feedback I recieved before the trip.

    Sounds about right for a a mid-May full moon situation. What was water temps?

    Bobcats are pretty thick down there.

    What affect will the water temp have on the night time shad spawning? How long will the night time activity last? Do you know where I can get some repair paint for my red fins?
    Thanks

    Usually lasts until the first or second week in June, though I've heard of limited success until July. The later in the season it is, typically the shorter duration the bite.

    Rustoleum spray paint would be a quick and easy cure for repainting the Red Fin.

    The temp. will definitely affect the shad a little, but won"t hurt anything. The striper and walleye bite will last as long as the shad do. And that depends on the water temps. We just now are in the heart of the night bite, though.

    When you buy expensive lures such as a redfin, take clear fingernail polish (usually can find it with wife's beauty products) and apply a coat to the bait to prevent the paint from chipping.

    If you add too much nail polish, you can affect the lure's action. Might be easier to repaint, if you feel it is necessary. Personally, I don't think the stripers are that concerned how pretty the plug is. I have several homemade wood plugs that are missing a good deal of paint. Stripers still like to eat them.
