Don't waste your time! Ice cold water, no fish and low low levels. Either the lake sucks OR I suck OR we both sucked!

Oh, they're there. Got some great screenshots today. Anybody interested, shoot me an email addy (I can't post attachments here.)

Canyon is tough lake to fish for sure haha. But they have some good ole guns out there @duff1 - safishingforum@gmail.com . will post them.

Duff, stripers? I fished (bass fished) by the dam, comal park, that island in the middle, never graphed anything! You graph them in the same place that you graphed them last time? You launch at Potters? Man I can't believe how low the lake is, wonder how long Potters can stay open before the ramps out of water. Wow what a rambling post I just typed?

canyon sucks this time of year...until the white bass get goin

Well here's the images forwaded to me by duff.

Nice! I def didn't see any of that today. Well the water temp was the same, but that's about it. Tell me you at least snagged one?

Catch one every now and then. Must have been pretty lonely down around the dam today.

Potters Creek ramp in good shape, but the walkway to the courtesy dock is gated off, and there's no good place near the ramp to beach your boat.

The lake is only 10 feet low not bad during a drought. The striper have been active in the morning and late afternoon
try down rigging a 3/4 glow striper jig 30-50 feet
around the dam area and Jacobs Creek cove. Went out about
a week ago fished the point at north park and dam on the rock
in 10-15 feet drop shotting a disco violet super fluke jr
and a pearl blue shad Devils Spear caught 9 nothing really big
just solid fish.

Anybody got any idea what that big concrete structure is they've built on the northwest corner of Crane's Mill Park? Looks like it's about 8'x8', and will extend into the water at full pool. Maybe to anchor a walkway to a floating dock?

At this time, it's the Dead Sea.

Previously, across from the Cranes Mill ramp, I could pick up a few of these:

These taken by duff on 1/27 .

Is that a 'Bama rig? I watched a guy chunking one yesterday. Looked like hard work to me.

Lots of bait upriver, from the first bend up through Cordoba Bend.

Perhaps I should mention that the two sets of pics above were taken in different locations.

I didn't noticed anything like that few weeks back when i was there for tournament. Anyways never caught a [censored] at that lake got skunked big time.

If you were headed back to the main lake from the public fishing pier, it would be on your right, before you round the end of Crane's Mill Park. It's huge, and it's been there for a year or so.

Some trivia I thought interesting: Crane's (Americanized from Crain's) Mill was a settlement of some 25 souls, with a store, school and rowdy dance hall before it sank beneath the waters. The "mill" milled shingles from Cypress, before the Civil War.

Only confirmed masochists fish Canyon for largemouth.

I have been on that lake now twice..Once when I first moved here and for a days fishing I managed 5 bass for 12 and change...

Once this year to test and tune and then tow some dude in in a wellcraft....

Im in no hurry to go back

Jacobs creek ramp was okay as well

That pier was closed we fished from the bank for cats . Few other participants got some nice strippers hooked one of their rods was broken into pieces when a stripper was hooked on LoL.

I did notice that, not sure what the heck it is.

If you talking about the one next to the boat launch that is made for a courtesy dock to be attached to it.

Now if there is another one closer to the point where the river bends into the lake then it could be another fishing pier or dock, which would be a very nice addition if we ever get some water back in that lake.

No, the structure I'm talking about is several hundred yards north of the ramp, well inside the park, near the end of Crane's Mill Point. Perhaps I have the compass directions confused. I'm thinking of the park as running north and south. And I'm not real clear on how long this big rectangle of concrete has been there. Can't see it on Google Earth.

Yes Duff, there weren't too many down by the dam (only saw 2 boats in 2 hours). I was thinking the water would be clearer up there so those Canyon monsters might bite my jig better.

Yup, out towards the point, that is the one I saw too.

Now, would you believe anyone could be so insensitive as to covertly approach panfish anglers, some of them proud holders of state records, and inquire where he might net some "perch," to be used as bait in a striper tournament?

Yes, I saw the big concrete block. All that came to my mind is that it's going to be another improvement in the attempt to draw paying campers to the Cranes Mill Park. If it's part of a fishing pier it might not work 'cause there's shallow water for 75 ft all around it.
Why don't they open the launch ramp? Am I the only one who wants to launch there?

Well, if they're going to build a fishing pier there, I think they could extend it out into some reasonably deep water, maybe even get it to the edge of the channel. I don't look for any benefit to day use anglers to come from all this. Their intention is to convert Cranes Mill Park into a camping facility like Potters Creek, with RV hookups and whatnot.

I took a close look at that ramp the other day. You can see old bloodweeds sticking up from the water just a couple of feet from where the ramp enters the water. I surmise this marks the end of the ramp. If so, it's going to take an awful lot of water for it to become usable again.
