Arkabutla Crappie Report

[slabseeker]

Does anyone have a report on crappie at Arkabutla. I know it has been hard to fish lately. I have heard that some have been having success before all the windy days started. I troll most of the time. I wondered if anyone had tried trolling in the last few weeks.

I had been wading in the creeks and doing well until the last rain a week ago. Have not heard of any reports about anyone trolling. The water had gone down about 2 feet and hurt the wading but now I think after these 2 rains we have had it will get better. The wind has been murder though.

Crappieman, I rode down to the boat ramp at Hernando Point today. The water sure looked muddy. The lake is up pretty good, but the COE is drawing the lake down to compensate for the spring rains. I don't know what this will do to the fishing. When the wind lets up I imagine I will go back to Sardis and try Clear Creek. The last time we were up there about 2 weeks ago we caught 44 in about 4 hours. We were trolling in about 10 feet of water fishing between 6-8ft. deep.

The lake is still falling, last Saturday there were a lot of boats spidering the mouth of Hurricane and Mussacuna Creek. They must be slow because I haven't seen any reports on here about them.Butla is at 211.14 and falling.The fish are most likely in Post-spawn by now and may be suspended off flats in the mouths of creeks just off the main lake!Be careful motoring because there are stumps and mud flats to get stuck on everywhere.Hope you get them!! If you do go there please give us back a report so we will know more. Thnks.

Old geezer fishermen never die, they just smell that way!!
