Cave Run Trip

[Procraft Cat]

Fished Cave Run Friday & Saturday. Friday morning launched at Poppin Rock and fished up the river. I had 1 good fish come unbuttoned and my buddy caught a couple dinks. Slow to say the least.

Friday evening went to Alfrey and launched and fished big cave creek. Once again a few dinks on plastics.

Finally Saturday we decided to try for some crappie. We launched at Beaver Creek ramp and located a school. We had 50 in about an hour. Only problem was there was just a few big enough to see the livewell. All were caught on yellow and white crappie tubes 8' deep.

Good Luck and Be Safe

thanks for the report. Anybody know the results of the Renegade tourney there last weekend? Didn't get to fish due to work.

We also fished Saturday for bass with no luck other than a couple dinks. We fished Caney Creek area. Water temp. was 55 and slightly stained. We did get up close to a young Bald Eagle and a couple beavers which was a first. We have always noticed the beaver huts and trees down by beavers in this area but was a first for actually seeing them. They sure have done a number on trees around the shoreline there.

The water was almost muddy. There was lots of debris floating near the bridge. Water temp was 54 at the bridge to 57 in the back. I did find water down around the dam on Friday evening in the low 60's. Hope this helps.
