    Default Crappie Fishing in Arkansas


    We're still catching them around 10-feet deep over brush piles on points that drop into deep water.

    This morning the kid in this picture caught the first, biggest (17-inches) and most.



    Sure beats working for a living!

    I have a feeling that fish is a Black Crappie. Look at the spot pattern. I don't see the spots forming any vertical bands.

    Those are nice looking crappie guys. Have they spawned all their eggs by now?

    We've been getting several males with the bottom of their tails raw and even missing some. Also, getting quite a few crappie with injuries that look like they've been attacked by gar.

    In that picture you can pick out the blacks and whites and also the males and females of both.

    They still have a few eggs but are pretty much done. There are still a few that have viable looking eggs (must be coming out of some cooler water somewhere) but most look like what's left are breaking down.

    Jerry,
    Making me drool. Our fish haven't made it in yet. Cool nights and cold rain have kept the temps down. Not getting the boat out today either, winds 25-35 with higher gusts.

    Tightlines,
    Steve

    Hey Steve,

    Come on down - I'll put you right in the middle of them. They finally slowed down some today - only 24-keepers and only one big one - 15-inches.

    The bite was a lot lighter than it has been and they were all black crappie except the one big one, which we caught while talking about heading for the boat ramp.

    We had some wind to deal with today and supposed to again tomorrow. I have brush piles in sheltered areas but they're not always the ones that are producing.

    I'll be out there looking for some more bigguns in the morning.

    FISH ON!

    Those were all caught on Rosy Red minnows. We've been catching a few on jigs but for most of my clients live bait is the most productive.
