Jonesboro

[burghman]

Guys,

Need some advice. I have a sister-in-law in Jonesboro who wants to crappie fish. Don't know that water thereabouts. Any suggestions?

The closest lakes I know of to Jonesboro are Craighead Forest, Poinsett, and Hogue. I haven't fished Hogue recently, but none of these I would consider premier crappie lakes. There is some bank fishing at all of these places if she doesn't use a boat. If she has a real nice boat with top of the line electronics, she can probably find someone to guide her.

RCC is right. Out of the three he listed, I think Hogue would be best.

What happened to the great crappie fishing on Lake Frierson (sp?). There used to be some nice crappie in that lake when I lived in Jonesboro.

They draw Lake Frierson way down each winter. If the water levels were more consistent...

I lived right by Hogue for 3 years it actually has some good crappie in it. If you have access to boat there is an old creek channel that runs through the lake about 250 yds past the pier cut back to south.

The Saugeye are in Lake Frierson. They caught a state record out of there last year! I don't know much about them but I hear a few guys are catching them on crappie jigs...

They are some kinda good eatin. Just like a sauger or walleye. I thing they were cross bred by those two species.
