Will be in Batesville later this month and hope to crappie fish a hour or two while there. Anyone know if there's a public pier near the lock and dam or, if not, a deeper pool within casting distance of the bank? Hate it when I drive around hunting a fishing spot for two hours and end up with one minute to fish. Thanks.
There is a side walk on the south side of the river just below the dam that you can fish from if the water is not too high. With the spring floods we had they are still releasing water from the lake north of here so the river has been pretty high all summer.Quote:

creekslick...Thanks for the location info. I look forward to checking it out.
Wrong Batesville. The casket company is in Batesville MS.Quote:

Also there may be a public pier on Simpson or Ramsey Slough on the south side of the bridge between the bridge and the deserted quickie mart (west side of highway and public ramp there as well.
Thanks...I'll check those too.
Dang...thanks for the correction Creekslick. I'd hate to wander around Arkansas looking for the perfect casket! I guess I could crappie fish while I was there;)
Batesville Indiana is the main office of the casket company. They must just like the name.
