I've been catching em off white curly-tail grubs, white crankbaits, silver rooster tails, rat-l-traps... I think you could catch em on an Oreo cookie when they're on a run.
And as for the Hwy 10 bridge stuff, I'll never get close to Maumelle on a weekend or afternoon. As a matter of fact, I almost never fish on weekends.
Ive ran into them on the west side while ive been crappie fishing at Lake Maumelle. When they are making the run, we always carry an extra pole with those small umbrealla rigs loaded down with the Kalin's Tennessee Shad jigs. Its a lot of fun to get into a school of em.
I saw those 22 boats when they roared past me Saturday morning. I wonder if any of them caught white bass. The mid- ake surface temp was 47-50 degrees and that is too low to start the whites up. Now, I'm not an old Maumelle white bass fisherman and I realize that lake is strange, so maybe the whites there are different. Middle of last week went up the creek as far as you can go without a kayak. The highest water temp was 50 and none of the boats were catching white bass.
Yea the slimers in maumelle were a lot of fun back in the early 90's when schools would cover acres at a time. Then later in the year the stripers would fire up down by the restricted area. We always used near nuthins and spooks on a casting reel (5500c back then) over spooled where you could cast a mile. Lotta fun days.
The whites are moving up the creeks on Bull Shoals now.
What is the water temp on those Bull Shoals creeks?
I don't know. Cuz'n told me three of them had their limits in an hour.
