Save all his beer cans and you can buy all those and my Ohio - Ind - Alabama - Misissippi - Minnesota lic ...... And upgrade my electronics.....

Going back to Lake D'Arbonne,La in April for crappie we meet some neighbors from here along with a couple who live near Shreveport,La and camp at the state park at D'Arbonne.Here are pics from this past spring.

I like that fish cleaning station.

We did awesome crappie fishing and small mouth up there this year. Them smallys we're a BALL..... The crappie on the docks was awesome ..... And the walleye was good as usual. Erie is my fav by far.

Looking hard at Sardis-Grenada-Ky lake...... Decisions decisions.......

I wouldn't leave on the Bama trip and he was sure to make the rest of that trip just plain miserable, I didn't want to go through it again.
The worst part of it was there were 4 of us. I made it clear when we were making plans that it was an exploratory trip just to see what East Harbor SP was all about and explore the prospects of fishing from the mainland.
The crappies and smallies are what I'm most interested in. Do you run out to the islands for the smallies?

C-MAX....... We have always done best smally fishing on the reefs, around Kelly's island, rattle snake island or around put-in-bay. We found em this year on a rock drop off around put in bay..... Dropped from 8 to about 22 ft. We just dragged drop shot rigs down the side of the drop. Did a "controlled drift". Wacky style senkos. Tough to beat soft crawls if the bite gets tough. If you can't get out after the smallys and the crappie don't play nice the large mouth fishing in the bays and around the docks is off the chain. Always something biting at Erie for sure. But to answer your question we've always done our best smally fishing on the big water, yes.

2014 Jr's small mouth from around put-in-bay. Kid was a natural with a drop shot rig
