YEH,I WAS IN CEDAR FALLS, COTTAGE ROW AREA OF SNAG CREEK. GREAT WARM-UP FOR THE GTG 
I DECIDED TO TRY TO PICKLE THESE FISH I HOPE IT TURNS OUT 
Anyone fish the backwaters in the Vinton or Palo area? Anyone who fishes them willing to fess up to any hotspots? 
Regards,
Joe Jiacinto
I PERSONALLY HAVE NOT. HOWEVER I DRIVE OVER THEM AREAS WHEN WORKING AND ALWAYS SEE SOMEONE ON A BUCKET. I WORK IN CR ALMOST EVERY DAY, AND HAVE ASKED AROUND, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO COUGH UP ANY INFO
Maybe this weekend, I’ll go do some exploring in the Palo and Vinton areas. 
I need a change of scenery from lake Macbride…
Regards,
Joe
Joe, I know that quite a few guys fish the cedar backwaters at Dudgeon lake in Vinton, sometimes w/ some pretty good success on the crappies and gills, it’s also a good place to get a pike, bass, maybe even a catfish thrown in there. Haven’t been there myself in years but we always just looked for structure and went from there.
I’ve never fished in through the ice before. Last summer I was there a total of once, and the tiny white bass were so thick you couldn’t drag a jig through without having 10 hits on the way back to the boat. Unforunately, these fish were too small to get their mouth around a 1/32 roung jig with a 1″ twister on it.
A couple years ago guys were talking about 200 fish days for big crappies, but I never found ’em. I can’t imagine that kind of population can sustain if it’s competing with the up-and-coming white bass, but I’m no expert.
Eyetracker, were you by the bridge into cottage row or up farther or were you in onr of the ponds back there? Shoot me an email if you want to go fishin some time.
