Gold Creek Landing on Lake Conway Arkansas

Its looking better...

Thanks for taking the time to post that up, Dano..

BTW are you feeling better?

Middle of the day yesterday was the suck. Wind was awful and only two bites.

What is the best way to fish back up the creek at the bridge? In three trips I have yet to catch or see a fish caught other than the 2 yellow bass I caught last week.

Thanks for the report Dan.

Which bridge? There are three there. The first is the Hwy 365 bridge. I like to spider rig just to the west of the channel in there. Also there is a decent lil hole there that will hold some crappie at times. I use a minnow tipped jig under a float there.

The second is the rail road bridge. I don't fish around it much, but if you happen to pull a hi-tek rod holder out from the water's between these two bridges, let's talk. I have 30 bucks waiting to say, "Thank you" to someone.

The third bridge is the steel foot bridge at the entrance to the pool. Here folks try everything in the world to get those lil tight lipped fishes to bite.

I have yet to catch anything under that bridge, but there is plenty of cover there, and other than high pressure, you'd think it would hold some fish.

Try a tight line with a minnow under some split shot. But don't give that minnow too much slack or he'll wrap you up tight around all that habitat down there.

The foot bridge is the one I was asking about. Seems nearly every boat in the area will be stacked up right there but I have yet to see a fish landed. Graphed a lot of fish just north of that bridge and towards the west bank there mid morning saturday. Managed one bite and figured they were good and screwed up with all the boats in that small of an area.

Wanted to put in at Pierce and fish back towards the highway bridge but the wind was WAY wrong for over there. As it turned out it wasnt much better at Gold.

Three trips and yet to put a crappie in the boat at Gold creek. Gonna try some different water the next trip or 3. May try different body of water entirely. I'm not the greatest crappie fisherman in the world by any stretch but I cant ever remember being skunked 3 straight trips for any kind of fish. Frustrated...

@ soswine

I know the feeling bud. I got skunked both times I went there this year and the first time (the only time) last fall. But at least I got one. Ninner, ninner,......... I think Gold Creek is highly overrated.

Nice Pics Dano I know that MO guy on the left, hes pretty persistant and has done well to drive so far.
