Thread: Arkansas Lake Map Kit-Comments?

Tri county has a few fish in it, but hardly spend any time there at all. (Don't know why, I just don't). I have bream fished Lake Grampus and it is FULL of big ol cypress trees. Haven't been there in years, but used to go during Memorial Day weekend and catch literally 100's of bream. Lake Wallace is a very good crappie lake as well but haven't fished it recently. (only during college days). White Oak is a great bass lake and several people catch alot of crappie. (Never fished it though). Lake Columbia is one of my favorites. Huge bass and great crappie as well. Lake Chicot is one of the best in South Ar. Very big lake with lots of opp. And finally Cane Creek lake. The next state record crappie will come from Cane Creek. My all around favorite lake.

Like you said it's a lot of promotional material, they write up every lake as if 2lb+ crappie are jumping in the boat. 25 years ago, they probably were on some of these lakes... I fish Cox Creek Lake every once in a while, if I can only get away from the house for couple of hours. It was a great lake many years ago, like a lot of these on the list, but time has taken it's toll and the cover isn't there like it used to be. I usually fish AR river, Ouachita, Degray, Nimrod. COE lakes seem to produce better for me. Probably need to get back to Greeson whenever some of the water drains out.. looks to be a little "up" after looking at Jerry's pictures.:D

I still haven't gotten my Kit yet. Don't know if the passenger pigeons have gotten lost or what. Maybe too much weight to carry. :D

mine came pretty fast....i actually goofed thinking Greeson was a part of this packet...but its not. They sent me a brochure of it seperately with a nice map. I thought that was nice.

Yeah, Greeson and the other COE lakes aren't included in the packet. It was really nice of them to include the Greeson packet for you.

Of the lakes that I've fished...

Lake Charles has a 10" length limit. A couple of years ago, it was almost impossible to get 10" fish, but as time has passed the vast majority of those should be legal now.

Shirey Bay is a nice, remote oxbow of off the Black River. It has nice scenary, but not dynamite fishing...

Lake Hogue is fairly nice. One plus is that it has tilapia stocked. It's a good opportunity to catch a fish that you've never caught before. And, the record is broken just about every year, so you could potentially catch you an AR record fish...
