well where is everyone going fishing at this weekend? I will be stuck at work on my weekend shift. But I think deep_fried_crappie and I may hit up Caney Creek next week and try some of CP tips out.

My son caught his biggest crappie yet. 16 1/2 inches and 2.6 pounds,it was a hog. It looked like a football,all the fish we caught were thick. That is were I will be .
hey backwood where is Departee Creek at? best of luck to you and your son this weekend!!
I am going to Lake Quachita on a camping trip that several families do ever year. My buddy that has been going there this time of year for the last 40 year blew the motor up on his boat (oil injector went out) so I am going to leave my boat there for him to use next week.
Believe im going to go to glaise creek at hurricane. I was way in there yesterday helping my uncle drag out a monster deer and found some water that looked supreme and since backwoods has been tearin'em up in departee im gonna give that part of glaise a try.
wayne from what Ive heard about your boat he make fall in love with it and go buy a new one.Quote:

Also was wondering, I have a small flatbottom that 1-2 persons can carry, is it possible to launch into Arm Lake this way and what do you think about trying Bradford Lake also?
S.S.
Do you know that area pretty good? I think Arm lake would be great,You would need to bring your little boat because the last time i was up their the water in the arm was bad low. You could turn right just as you get to the arm and drive down to the lake ,and slide your boat in. Bfadford has been fished hard , i would put in the creek just before the tiles at the sharpe corner and go down. Give me a P.M. and i will give you my number, that goes for everyone that need some directions up this way.
G.K.batts You should do good their,back a few mounths ago we really done good thier. We put in at the wide spot and went up caught some really good fish.
Midnight Departee creek runs from the bradford area all the way into henry gray area, lot of people over look this little creek but it is one good place to pull some good fish out of.
If any of you guys want to go sometime just let me know and i would be more than happy to take yall on a trip to my honey holes, plind folded of course. LOL It would be an honor to take yall,just send me a PM to get my number.
Hey BW can you put a trailered bout in. 15 ft.
I plan on going to Yankee Bar Lake. Its a MS river oxbow.
I'll be on Conway somewhere. Big Boys are moving in.
deep_fried and me are going to try out your tips next week CP!!Quote:

It would be tuff but you might be able to get it in Bradford Lake. That is way I have a 12-36 FandF boat with a 9.9 yamaha. lots of times I pull it with my 4 wheeler to put it in anywere. Lots of times I even take the motor off to make it easyer to drag it over the logs. That is my crappie fishing rig for the smaller and hard to get spots. Billy if you want to go with me sometime just let me know.
BW - Hey thanks I drive a Tahoe with 4WD and a winch. I have put my boat in almost anywere. I just hate those sneaky cypress knees. They take out a trailer light every year. I have fished Bradford Lake 1 time and didnt do to well it was shallow in half of it. I have just started fishing this area and have talked to some guys while I was fishing taylor bay. That Horshoe Lake by Russell looks good. Is it private and does the White get in it. Thanks for the info.
BillyE
><)))*>
Gonna be in a tree come daylight tomorrow morning. Them deers need killin too ya know. Ya'll catch a bunch of 'em.
Arkansas River
Be going to Peckerwood the next two days, then Conway.
I taught school at Bradford about 40 yrs ago, and fished most of the lakes around there. Departee Crk starts in Independence Cty and I think it has 13 small lakes on it. Haven't fished it in a long time.Quote:

I will probley go their this weekend and try it it should be good now that the bigger fish are on the move. And yes when the White gets 29ft it gets in the lake. It is privately owend but anyone can fish it. If you plan on fising it you better hurry before the yo yoers get started.
Plan to fish lower end of bull shoals near dam this afternoon. Caught 3 real good slabs last hour of yesterday. Not much time to fish. Surface temp 69, 10 ft deep, over brush pile, 1/16 slater jig,flour red head-orange maribou tail with silver flash body. Casting to brush, countdown and slow retrieve. Will let you know how i do. Anyone else fishing bull?
Bull shoals: Fished last 2 hrs yesterday after the temps fell into the lower 30`s night before. Fish stil in brush piles but not feeding. Used both jigs & minnows, no luck. Will try again this afternoon.

Were is the guage. I use Augusta for a lot of the lakes. I will keep you in mind. It sounds like a good place to wade. How hard is the bottom or have you ever wadded it. BillyE
Billy
The gauge is at Augusta at bunges, their is no way you can wade it, the bottom is way to soft and silty. I know I had to swim for my boat one time. It is hard for a fat boy to pull himself up in a boat without using the bottom to push off. Done real good this weekend their, tried fishing Murphy but the river was rising and with the current comining in it they just dont bite good. Fished Horseshoe Sat. caught 34 keepers, some were some really nice fish. Fished the creek Sun. and caught 45. The fish thier were better fish. Keep me in mind when you make it this way.
BW
I cant remember if you told me about putting in a 15' boat (on trailer) in any of those places. I guess I will just have to do a drive by and look at them. Thank BillyE
Billy.
You can get your boat in the lakes but the creek would be tuff. Let me know when you make down this way, would be glad to show you around.
That there is dedication. My hat is off to Ya!!Quote:
