Peckerwood or Merrisach

[winghunting]

What happened to everyone that said they were going to fish Peckerwood and Merrisach?? I guess everyone is tight lipped on how they did???

I agree, I went to Old River lake on Fri and Sat, did OK, but both trips were cut short due to prior obligations, caught fish ranging from 4-6 feet up to 1.5-2 feet, all on minnows

Barnett....One of my best friends lives in Scott and fishes the old river some. I grew up fishing that lake alot. I have not been there in a few years though.

Wing,

I have been reluctant to post my results as I forgot my camera. I'm always encoraging folks to post some pics of there catch and I forget the camera myself.

We fished out of Red Barn Friday night and had yoyo's up on the upper end of the lake. We caught fish but 2 out of 3 were catfish. We did catch a reel nice flathead. The regulars down there said they didnt remeber catching any flatties down there. I would guess we caught about 40 total for the night and next morning.

Saturday was a great day on the water. Again we went up the lake and they were smacking a jig hard. My partner and I limited out by 3:00 and culled fish till dark. All they wanted was a black and chart jig and nothing else. In fact had a bonus pole with a black chart jig tipped with a minner and didnt get a bump all day.

If you go this week give us a report.

Gooch,
Sounds like you all had a great weekend, My wife has had the flu since about Thursday, so me and the young uns stayed around the house and fished a few of the holes around here. we caught a few fish but not many just enough for me and the kids to have are weekend fish fry. I am going to take my two favorite fishing buddies down there this weekend, Lord willing, My 8 year old and 5 year old!!

I talked to a guy at work today who said Peckerwood was hot when he fished it last week.

Gooch....Sounds like you had a great weekend. I think my pops is fixing to ease towards Ouachita about Thursday and try to get into a mess. I will be lucky to get to fish this weekend. The ole lady wants to watch basketball at alltel this weekend, and then I got my nieces/nephew(triplets) first birthday Saturday. I ain't skeered to go to Peckerwood one day this week though.

Sure would like a report from Ouachita if you get one. Not that I would have time to go fish but its nice to think about.

I guess your back on your feet from the mendingitis if your thinking fishing again.

I got to go back to the doctors Friday for a checkup, but I think I am back to 100%.

I fished peckerwood Sat. Caught 26 crappie with minnows in 1 - 3 ft of water. Water temp was 58 deg. Half were females, half were males. All were nice size. My fish basket with 26 Crappie weighed a little over 50 lbs. Hung a few yo-yos saturday night but only caught cats. It should be ON in full force for the next few days, the water temp will rise very quickly there.
