    Default North central Arkansas


    Any starting points for crappie fishing spots up here? Recently moved to cave city (from Jonesboro area) and looking for some ideas where to go within an hour or so. Prefer to spider rig but open to other suggestions. I always fished horseshoe and Mississippi lakes and don’t want to make that far of a drive for a day trip.

    Also curious if any suggestions on walleye in the spring river? Have heard they’re in it but don’t know where or how/what to fish with for them.

    Was told that electrofishing turned up more walleye than trout from dam 3 tomissouri. Also heard it was good from hardy down to williford. I fished from the mouth to the gravel bars in winter. Locals use whopper minnows and sassy shads. My first trip we caught 3 pushing 5 pounds and several smaller eyes and saucer. Thought we had figured it out. Never got into them again. Did run into a guy who had one 19-4. Thought my 11&3/4 Was big til then.

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

    Strawberry and black rivers have some nice crappie when they get down and clear up. Lockhart ferry put in near Cord gives access to both.
