Lots of folks hate commercial fishing, but here the Buffalo and Carp would take over the lake, not to mention those Crappie eating Ops.:D

This is Jerry Dean from over on F B's hunting site. Well...I USED to be over there...lol.

I'm still running trotlines in the AR River. Got close to 800 hooks or so and a few slat traps out right now. I fished all winter in the river out of Palarm this year instead of Maumelle Park, but I've got everything out above Pine Bluff right now. I caught them big buffalo on 1 line in a 2 or 3 day span right after Christmas. Caught some big ole Spoonbills too. 30-40 lb'ers. Haven't caught a single bullalo since. I was on one of their runs I guess. They were some dandys!! Biggest I've ever seen in person.

I had a guy or 2 come in and set some weekend lines over my lines at Maumelle and caught them taking fish off my lines TWICE!! I ended up just picking up my stuff an moving up river to get away from them. My regular fish market (you know who I'm talking about) cut what he was paying me so I started letting a couple guys here in NLR sell on the street what I caught and am making twice what I was selling to the market for.

I'm still gonna try to get up there and get ya to guide me on a pole fishing/beer drinking trip. I ain't caught a fish, other than a bunch of bream for bait, on a pole in years!!

Got tired of the high water last 3 springs and gave up trying to guide here. We are starting to catch some Crappie up river on jigs. I got banned over at F B's crappy board too. lol lol
