I may step on toes, but I have no problem sharing information regardless of the situation. The Little River is chalk full of crappie holding areas. The individual trees and stumps just outside of Jack's Isle is a good place to start. If you leave Jack's Isle and head back toward's the lake there is a big brushpile in the first big left hand turn just before you get to the lake. It is kind of like a chute to the lake. There are 4 in this area that I know of. You will not be alone here. Depth 23 feet. Fish 14 to 16 feet deep. There are two trees in the mouth of a creek to your right. Good area. This bend will produce fish. The okay landing area is awesome in the spring. Find the individual cypress trees (there are hundreds here). The bigger fish spawn here. There are several humps around the dam in 25 feet of water. The area is called the school bus on a map. Good winter area. About 75 yards from the dam to the northwest. The oxbows (horseshoe, mud , and mcquire) are really productive. From Horseshoe on the opposite side of the river, there are 3 brushpiles in 25 feet of water. The biggest one is about 40 feet from the bouy. The is a laydown from this brushpile. I will be here all night talking about mcquire.

i love to share info period. We all share the same passion. I will continue to plant condos on Millwood. I bet there are 100 areas on this lake that Jerry or CEB could catch a solid limit on any day of the week. It is worth the trip.

Good post Michael!

Again, the fishing on the Chain lakes was awesome! My dad and brother went yesterday, launched at 6:45 and went to rainbow. Fished the banks about 2' deep with a purple/chartreuse jig mounted on a 1/4 oz. head.

Wound up with both limits, smallest crappie was 11". Largest was 16 1/2 inches and had several.

Tightlined the jigs around the brush and the crappie were very aggresive. Fished in 6-8 FOW.

I, myself didn't get to play this weekend as the oldest son had to hunt in the Arkansas State Coonhunting Championship. The report is from my dad who has been chasing slabs for over 50 years.

After some good reports on the Chain lakes saturday, I went to try them out on Sunday. I must need some new fishing lessons, didn't do well at all!

Tried everything to no avail. Bite must be off temporarily. No pattern whatsoever, shallow/deep, brush/big structure, color combos, natta.........

Dennis it was nice to meet you Sunday maybe we can talk longer next time.I ended up with 7 and 2 bass.Left at 1:30

Well, here's the next report. Tried somewhere new this morning. I went to harris Brake and fished the boat docks. Caught several good fish around most docks in 8 ft. of water fishing about 5 foot deep. Siver bass assasin head with white/chart. body. 2 " skirt.

Caught limit in about three hours of fishing before the wind got up. Biggest fish 16 1/2 long with average 13" on the rest. Rolled some real good ones.

The lake is definetely a nice one if you have never fished it. Hope the report helps!

Locals say after the lake is dropped in a few weeks is when the hawgs start their bite!

I love Harris Brake. I have a buddy who has a place over there and I fish it a few times a year. Thanks for the heads up. Need to get back over there.

Well I tried my luck back at the Chain Lakes. I fished Miller Lake from around 10 to 2 yesterday and done fairly well. Ended up with 24 NICE fish, largest around 16 1/2 inches long.

Fish staged around the stickups in the middle of the lake in 7 FOW. Fished about 48-52" deep with White/Chart. jig on bass assassin head with red eyes.

Females were full of eggs? Not quite ready to lay but were yellow with small red veins in them.

Wish I knew how to post pics better, I would post them.

Hope this helps!!!!!
