OK. I live in dewitt and drive all over to pull cranks and spider rig. Sardis, Enid, Greers, Nimrod, etc. Have noticed that alot of where prime trolling places are very similar to the arkansas river at pendleton. Sardis, enid, dardanelle are all called lakes, but are in fact just pools between 2 dams. Am I correct? So why is fishing those spots so popular and I have never heard of anyone using these methods in pool number 5 on arkansas river. I catch alot of VERY nice bass in pool 5 but have never trolled for crappie, because never heard of someone doing it. Can anyone tell me if they have heard that that can be done in this area? Or even done it? There is good established river channels in this area, and flats and slack water. Now where the slack water is, its usually pretty shallow, but still. It seems like it could be done. I have ran barrel nets in this pool before for catfish and have released a whole bunch of BIG crappie out of them, so I know the crappie are there. Now how catchable under the rivers conditions, I do not know. Sure would be nice to be living that close to a crappie hot spot cuz its only like 15 minutes away. That would save me ALOT of gas money, cuz i usually go somewhere once a week and when the bite is ON may go twice a week lol.
