    Default Lake Poinsett


    Hey guys.. im new here and to fishing the NEA Area. Im wanting to take my 5 year old son out and hopefully let him catch some fish. I fished the lake last week with not much luck but i hear good things about it and it is close to my home in Jonesboro. Any advise about the lake would be great. Where to fish and what to use...I want him to have a good outing!! Thanks guys.

    Best advice. Find a better spot.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The sheep live in fear of the wolf but in the end it's the shepherd that eats them.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang and

    Lake Hogue in Waldenburg is pretty good. There is a channel that runs in the middle that you got to find to have a real good day

    No wind means no fish on hogue. Need a ripple.
