Thread: Just bought a place in Sandy Bass Bay #4 (Belle Starr area)

You're in a good area for crappie, but they won't come to you and it will be a few years before you get it figured out for your best fishing areas. You can buy Crappie Pro products in Eufaula at the old Boy Howdy sports store, can't remember the name right off the tip of my head, something like Canadian River Sports.......? Or you can buy them at the Distribution Store right there off Texanna Road. Larry is almost always there, but you'll pay retail and Larry will ask you where you buy his products, and then he reimburses that particular store the difference. Welcome to the forum and good luck fishing. I'm about 12 miles south of you as the crow flies in an area called Arrowhead Estates and the fishing here is no better than your area.

I grew up on that part of the lake and still don't live too far from you. I actually lived in #4 for about 10 years when I first moved back here after college. Caught a lot of fish on those docks, but only at certain time of the year as the water is relatively shallow on most of them. The creek you are referring to is Carr Creek. Used to catch a lot of fish out of it, but haven't fished it much in recent years. It has silted in and changed a lot, but I think there are a couple of places a guy could catch some fish. The first is the bluff area. It is not too far up the creek as you start p it from the mouth. By the way, be careful at the mouth, very shallow, and at normal pool or below you might not get a boat across it. Anyway, head up the creek and it will go into an "s" curve with the bluffs on either side. That's the spot. Another place to try is above Texanna Road in the creek bends. The creek is going north under Tex Rd and then bends east, then bends north again. That is a good stretch to try.

In general, the south end produces more crappie, but I fish the north end quite a bit and do good most of the time. Like Stink said, just takes a while to figure things out.
