Anybody heard much about White Oak lake?

I would almost head down that way tomorrow, in the rain, if I knew they were catching them down there. I've heard that lake, those lakes have big slabs and was looking forward to hitting them but they are supposed to be draining one of them, the best one in my opinion when it comes to bass fishing but not sure about the crappie. It would be about an hour and half drive from the Hot Springs area but getting away from the deep clear water also. Trouble I seen down there was the whole lake was like 10' deep, everywhere, no major depth changes. I think the channel had some depth change though, maybe a good spot. I hate to go down there not knowing if you could even launch down there??

If you did'nt catch them in area lakes why travel? I would say spend the time and learn how to catch fish in your own backyard.:fish

Honestly don't think they are here in great numbers Nimrod or I would. I've got confidence in how to catch em this time of the year and what to catch em on. I grew up fishing the exact opposite of the deeper clear lakes and so far I hate em! I'd rather take one trip to a lake with crappie in good numbers than burn all that boat gas and wasted time around here.

There's plenty of crappie in Ouachita and Hamilton. Hamilton is probably not as good as it was when I was just a kid due to fishing pressure but there's still lots of crappie in it. Ouachita can just be a bear to fish at times. In the spring it can be quite good with limits of big slabs but other times of the year it will make you pull your hair out. I know cause I have been quite frustrated with it lately myself. Hang in there it will get better.
