Dardanelle Tip/The importance of a Bouy Marker.

[CrappiePro]

Guys as your fishing the open waters of Dardanelle, in the brush piles or spider rigging. Make sure you have that Bouy marker at your feet and ready to toss in right beside where you got the first bite. I promise you it will help you land another fish or two, or three and will help zero in on where the fish are feeding in a large brush pile or where to make another pass with your spider rig. So it should go like this....Thump, set the hook, throw bouy marker right beside where you just got thumped as your fighting the fish, Grab net...dip up Big Slab...dip jig right back in besides the marker where you just caught that big slab and repeat the process. Good Luck LOL

Thanks for the tip, Russ. You should write a book.

Works great for attracting strangers. Yesterday a couple guys said looks like you found a honey hole. Next thing my bouy was bumping their boat. Remember not to crowd folks as it's a big lake. Glad to say they were locals not Crappie.com folks.

Great tip Russ! This is something I was taught and man is it true you'll pick up at least one more most times!

CA,

i am glad to know you don't mind others fishing close to you....I had planned on following you from the boat ramp to your fishing holes all day long....I thought 10 ft to the right and my trolling motor just shy of your seat.......who needs a marker bouy

I started doing that last year, it sure helped inflating my numbers last year. Hoping I can get back out after all the honey-do's and thunder chicken season.
