    Default Crappie fishing near van buren


    Hello all, first time poster here, recently converted crappie fisherman after years of chasing the green carp. Have spent the past few years fishing Dardanelle, Atkins and conway. Graduating in May and recently got a coaching job in the van buren area, just looking for some info on what lakes in the Van Buren area are good for crappie, not looking for any specifics just looking for the name of the body of water. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    My friends can confirm Nimrods report of Blue Mountain. I saw there catch on FB last weekend. Crazy numbers. Tenkiller fish have not moved on the spawn yet. We are fishing tree tops in 45-50' of water still to find them. If this stupid weather would stop all the cold temps and cold rain it will pick up as well.

    Only thing is Blue Mountain will take you about 1:25 hours to get on the water. Tenkiller is 50 minutes. About the closet place I can find to catch crappie. Just gotta get that $55.00 Oklahoma license.

    I grew up in Van Buren but have lived in Little Rock since 1976. All the places mentioned were the places to crappie fish in the olden days too. Oklahoma: Tenkiller, Kerr, Wister were hot. I loved catching crappie at night with Coleman lanterns on Tenkiller. In Arkansas I fished the river around Van Buren/Fort Smith and out of Clear Creek, Mulberry. A little farther away, Piney Bay and Shoal Bay. Blue Mountain has always been dynamite.
