Took my boys camping at Chicot State Park this weekend. Fished for a couple hours this morning and a few this afternoon. Ended up with 7 keepers, mostly big chinquapin. I did catch my first sac-a-lait in this lake, on a cricket. I’ve tried before with no luck so always stuck to bream fishing here. Threw back 5-10 more bream and small bass. Water was muddy and we didn’t get on a school of fish until we found some clearer water on the south end of the lake around 6 this evening. Only had 2 when we stopped at the last spot and caught the rest in about 30 minutes before leaving them biting. All were caught on crickets about 2 ft deep in 5-6 fow. We did try some jigs with no luck. We will be back next month for 3 days so I’ll be trying to find some sacs now that I know they do exist in this lake lol.

Only place I ever caught crappie there was in the north/south channel fishing deep.
It’s my favorite place to go. My parents took me and my brother there twice a summer when growing up and I plan to do the same with my kids. We’ve got a trip planned next month to stay in one of the cabins and I’ll probably make a weekend trip late summer with the camper. They rent Jon boats at the park and the spot we caught most of the fish was within a few hundred yards of the south landing so I’ll probably rent one when we take the camper.

I’ve heard that before but haven’t had any luck. Going to give it a try next time.
