Sounds like you need to try Nimrod . Still catch alot of dinks but should catch more than 8 .:fish
Oops, you are certainly correct, Prairie Creek is on Beaver Lake where I used to fish when I was a young fellow coaching football in Bentonville. I was in Pierce Creek.Quote:

Almost everyone of them was 9 3/4". Not 1 keeper in the bunch. Gonna have to keep fishing those trees till i find the "magic trees" that Crappie Pro always talked about.Quote:

At least you caught some, I fished for 4 hours yesterday, and caught 2 shorts!
Congrats to you!
yes Matt, all were blacks. Went again yesterday from 8:45 till 5:15. Same scoop - 6 ft. of water, fished a ft. off bottom in shade over brush close to some cypress. No monsters, but did put 7 keepers in the boat - all blacks.Quote:
