Finally got my chance
Being that I haven't been on the water since May, I figured today would be a disaster. Headed up to Portia Bay and arrived with wheels and bearings intact. The motor actually cranked right up too! The crappie were hungry, and even though I didn't have any rosies to feed 'em...they tolerated the shiners pretty well. Caught fish at all depths on shiners and jigs tipped with shiners, and never got over 1/4 mi from the ramp. Mostly smaller crappie deep (12.5'). Found the larger crappie 2-5' deep over that 11-13' of water, just outside of the treeline. Only 1 other boat on the water that showed up around noon...man I love deer and duck season.:rolleyes: Ended up keeping 25 after cullin' some 9-10" fish. Loads of little crappie and bass in that lake. I'm bout to get on a roll...headed down to Star City for Thanksgiving and plan to fish the honey hole and coal pile. I have a lot of fishin' to make up for working the past few months...:D

Ceb good to see you back on the water catching some. Nice mess of fish. Hope you do well down at the coal pile and Cane Creek, but I know driving to the pond hast be crossing your mind.

Very nice mess of fish CEB. You should have made a trial run down to the Little Maumelle and tried your luck there... LOL. Good mess and fabulous day to fish.
I have to get down to Star City soon and see if I can pull some of them barn doors up. Won't be this week unfortunately.
