I live near the navigation channel close to Webber Falls. My suggestion would be to fish the back water areas off the main channel. Good luck.
Does anyone know if the crappie fishing is worth a hoot around the navigational channel near the Catoosa/Broken Arrow area. Its right by my house but have never tried it for Crappie.

I fish it, but I can only seem to catch the small ones. I've heard of some good Crappie coming out of those oxbow's, but I just haven't figured the big ones out yet.
I mainly put in at Afton Landing. There was someone on here who used to fish Bluff Landing quite a bit, but I don't remember his screen name.
Do yourself a favor especially if you use live bait go somewhere else the lil ones will eat you alive about 1 out of 20 is a keeper I dont like these odds I fished it all my life

I agree with George, you can sit on one tree and catch 50 dinks and not one keeper; however, some days we come out of afton with a load of nice slabs.
Ive found that if I use large or even brudders minnows I can get alot more slabs from the slews on the channel. Doesnt always work but it has made a difference in the size of the crappie I catch there. I use to have a great spot located up river untill they decided to dredge the slew out for the barges.

Wow, 2-5' of water in summer! That sounds like a lot of fun.
Do you guys ever hit up the Bluff Landing area. Do they bite pretty shallow there too or they in deep submerged brush? All I have is a 2 man with a trolling motor so I am kind of limited to boat driving distance. Bluff landing isnt too far from me and I consider it one of the last few safe places to load your boat on the river in the Broken Arrow/Catoosa area, other than Rogers point in Catoosa but I dont think there is any good Crappie fishing in the Rogers Point area, correct me if I'm wrong. 33 landing is kind of sketchy now. And they shut down the best fishing spot IMO on the river a few years ago, that being Rocky Point!
