How's the water level there now ?

2 Bathroom Signs:
1.) If your fishing with a shorter pole, please stand closer to the water's edge
2.) We aim to keep this restroom clean. Your aim is appreciated

It would be tad outta your way, but may be worth your time... Toadsuck Bait Shop is usually pretty generous on their rations. Might wanna call ahead of time though and make sure they'll be open at...

Sure makes for a crowd in that lil 2 man ! Ha ! Heckuva nice catch !

If you've been on any central Arkansas waters say, in the last 10 days or so.... What was the lake and what was the water temp ?

Populations are definitely cyclical. I'll see if I can't locate a couple of creel sampling studies I have read on Arkansas lakes and offer some stats on angler mortality rates. I wish I could recall...

I agree... As mentioned in the original post, I have no documentation, studies, etc to substantiate the thought. I'm fortunate to live in area where lakes are easily accessible and crappie abound. I...

Would you support a seasonal creel limit adjustment, that correlates to your geographic region's "assumed" peak of the spawn season ?

Example: I am from Arkansas, our state managed daily creel...

The same things that opened your eyes would likely open the naysayers mind as well if they would give it a chance. I, like you, was an opponent of spider rigging until I had a friend take me along on...

Great on you for taking them boys fishing ! Shame on you for allowing them to wear that Nebraska Cornhuskers shirt in public ! Ha ! JK, nice report and pics.

You're only culling your smallest fish... He's the only fish that should have a marker on him.

How were you using them ? I assume, cast and retrieve, but just in case my assumption is wrong.

I've had multiple guys tell me to begin a fishing log/journal and document the misc. variables and results from each outing. I "wish" I had stayed on top of this, but unfortunately I have not. What I...

Any experience using these ? I own several of their jig sticks, wasn't aware they made a spinning rod.

I'd like to add:

1.) Whatever one person tells ya, another person will counter with the completely opposite view/technique/recommendation. Chances are, They are BOTH correct !

I've accused my depthfinder of lying multiple times... Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't ! HA !

Awesome !

I love the "swing method" ! No net man required !

This has been a good thread to read. Much like any of the questions many have asked in the past, it seems the answer is still the same.

Q. <Insert basically any question here>
A. Find fish. Try...

I haven't been there and looked at it to say for sure, but we didn't get a "lot" of rain. Conway is regulated to try and maintain a certain pool level, so my guess is that it's "at" or "very near"...

In the trading and investment world, now would be a good time to sell !

The 2" inch shad you're referring to, would those be fully mature ? Or late fall spawn fry ?

Even at 2" that's often times a "larger than recommended" size offering IF you listen to a lot of...

Where has the idea or thought that it is necessary to downsize for winter fishing come from ? This is just an observation, but aren't the forage baitfish actually "larger" in the winter than in the...

I have no explanation for it but I found it interesting to say the least. I also found it interesting that when I first walked onto the pier I was talking to two guys that claimed they had been there...

I got to witness jigs out catch minners yesterday. Not saying anything other than "I witnessed it on this one occasion".

Yesterday afternoon, from off the pier at Overcup landing, I watched as...

I get what you're saying, and I'm grateful for every opportunity. I still prefer to go armed with knowledge... I'm equally grateful for the catch !

Warrants merit to Ol CrappiePro Pappy's advice ! Thanks !

I've now spent a couple of seasons learning to catch crappie through the Fall and into the Winter pattern on 3-4 central Arkansas lakes with moderate to good success. I feel pretty confident that...

I've spent about the last month (since Thanksgiving) through Christmas Eve fishing Atkins. Water temps during that time have hovered somewhere in the 50's and fishing has been pretty consistent...

I did that at least twice in the past 30 days... Thanksgiving dinner and again at Christmas dinner !
