Welcome from LR. There's been some good fishing out at Gold creek this winter. Lots of big fish. Once spring gets here, the crappie at the Little Maumelle should start doing pretty good. I usually catch 'em there well into the summer as well. I've had a few unsuccessful trips to Lake Maumelle, but just haven't put the time into the lake. You might also want to try Peckerwood and Brewer if you have the time to drive. Good luck with the crappie, but I figure that you'll need even more luck with the pregnant wife...
