Lake Hinkle

Just got off the phone with an old business customer living in Fort Smith, Ar.
He was telling me his neighbor caught some big crappie at Lake Hinkle, which is some 12 miles southwest of Waldron, Ar. In all my years fishing Arkansas lakes, never fished Hinkle. Anyone here ever fished there and what report can you give on the crappie in the lake?

My business friend only fished there couple times, and knows nothing about the lake, what type of structure,etc.

I used to camp at hinkle and turkey hunt that area we always took the boat to fish in the middle of the afternoon. We always did very good out there. we caught big crappie and lots of them. I on live in carlisle and its a little far to drive nowdays.
hope this might help:)

i live in van buren i try to make it down to hinkleonce a every spring it has a bunch of stumps the fishing is very good i always catch fish. there are stumps in the shallows and in deep water. do not run the lake if u do not know where u are going

Yes lots of stumps and underwater trees! I got a deep scratch in my hull down there last year! I idle everywhere in that lake! Caught a few bass but no crappie last year in Feb.
