Lake dardenelle and lake atkins

[swollencrappie]

I am from stillwater oklahoma and i am thinking about driving to russellville today and spending the weekend fishing dardanelle and atkins. Any fish biting and i so where and how deep? Is spider rigging allowed? Whats a good bait for the fish? Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks

Spiderrigging allowed , fish appear to be biting from CP's post. Any good jig or tube bait in 1/8 oz should do good. I've been doing good here and over there all year on Purple/chartruse 2''Umbrella tubes.

I wish I could give you some specific's, but haven't fished Dardanelle in over a month, ouita bay seems to be the best location at the moment, Piney bay is normally good this time of year. If y6ou see a red triton aluminum boat with mercury motor,,thats most likely me, give me a shout, If I am on any fish, I'll point you in the right direction .

Well I had a pretty good time this past two days. Found some nice crappie upnin the Piney Bay area. Spider rigged the banks and never found a school of them but picked off several one at a time. Used orange and chartreuse beavertails and yellow slab bandits. Had the best luck on the slab bandits. Went to lake Atkins yesterday evening and wasted my time. Only good thing that came from that lake was the double cheeseburger I had at lucky landing!!!!
