Well boys and girls, the crappie are cooperating on Ouachita if you fish IN the brush tops. It was pretty much a steady bite all day long, using no. 4 and no. 6 minnows. I few were caught on a blue/white maribou crappie jig tipped w/ nibbles.

I was fishing wherever I could find brush in or near the main channel. I lowered a double hook drop-shot rig and held it even with the top brush. IT was a steady bite all day this past Tuesday. I was fishing out of Twin Creeks and even as far east as Denby Point.

The water was dropping a little but not enough to do any real harm to the bite. Tuesday, the lake level was at 578--about three feet above normal pool and the water was (of course) clear.

Have a ball and let me know how you do.
