Thread: For you East Oklahoma & West Arkansas guys

Welcome Spatzie, I will second get with WSD on Wister. Wister is a great little crappie lake I just wished I lived closer. If you are going to purchase a boat when you decide what your budget is you need to check out what other people on CDC are fishing in, are you going to fish big water or just smaller lakes and creeks, etc. Good Electronics are the way to go but you don't have to spend $3,000 to have a good set-up. Again welcome to CDC

We have been going to lake Nimrod and Blue Mountain for several years every spring and spending two weeks down there. As dko said, you have to watch the lake levels because they are both flood control lakes. We fish out of Sunlight Bay on Nimrod and have done really well right around the boat ramp in the cypress trees the last week of March and early April. We have caught fish there when the lake has been up in the parking lot and they were dropping it a foot a day. The great thing about these lakes is you don't need a 50,000 dollar bass boat to catch fish. They are both under 4000 acres. Nimrod has an advantage because there's more places to fish and not so crowded.
