Hey Billy, forgot to mention in the last post, it's called the "Wide Water", and Yes tommyboyrn, that is straight out the run at Oak Donnick and to the left or North. I don't have my gps in here or I could tell you the coordinates of the crappie condo's in the picture. There are a lot of those crappie condo's spread all over the flats on each side of the main river channel in the wide water.

Not meaning to hijack Billies thread, but to answer your question Tommy, harder to find quality fish when the water is high and they can spread out, but more than the level of the river is the clarity of the water. If it is swift and muddy, might as well go home.

I fished the sunken lands a ton when I lived up there. All my fishing was in the stretch between Lake City and Trumann. In the fall and early winter is when I had my best luck b/c the water was typically down and clarity was good. Anywhere where two sloughs/ditches/or the river/etc intersected were great areas for kentuckies and largemouths. I only bass fished it, but the bass were there b/c the baitfish were. Fairly certain the crappie get in those areas too - those might be some areas to try. I've fished all over central and eastern Arkansas in my life and that area, when conditions were right, was the coolest place I've ever fished. I'm highjacking too, but I get fired up when I think about that place. Been 10 years since I fished it - December 4, 2003 to be exact LOL

it's fixing to get high and muddy or muddier. the corp turns the water loose tomorrow. takes 2 days to get where I duck hunted and I'm guessing 4 or 5 down there.

It takes almost a full week from the state line to Lakecity and a few days more from Lakecity on down to the wide water. That sounds crazy, but that's the way it is.

It got muddy Saturday night. I looked at it saturday at Culkerburr and it looked great. The wife and I were looking for mistletoe and eagles so I didnt fish. Returned Sunday morning it was muddy and 1 1/2' higher. Launched boat and fished 3 hours with no bite. First time I put in on the side of river and got to do a lot of exploring. Found some deep water that I never would have thought was there.
How did you guys know when they were going to turn the water on?
