New to Board in L.R.

Sorry to bore you with a newbie, but I just found this board. I plan to visit alot.
I used to play a lot of golf, but now I have reverted to my childhood (40 years ago) and mostly crappie fish. My 25 year old son is also deep into crappie fishing. It's not the only passion we share, our other one is TURKEY hunting.

So here I am, I look forward to sharing stories (and maybe a few fishing holes).

For starters, I will share one photo from Friday night (remember the snow?).
This was a Lake Conway fish caught at 9 p.m.. Yes, I said 9 at night.

2.75 lb.

Titleman,
Nice slab!!!!!! And welcome aboard. I am sure you will enjoy this board very much......it is very helpful and tons of nice people. Check out the Crappie Camp coming at the end of March.
Once again, WELCOME ABOARD!!!!!!:D :D

Thanks for the welcome.

I am really glad to be here.

I crappie fish year round at least weekly. I take lots of pics.

Welcome , nice fish. Several years ago my brother used to fish @ Highway 89 bridge at night. He passed away and never went there with him at night. Lake Conway is a good lake for all kinds of fish. I live close to Lake Nimrod.

Glad to see some other nightstalkers here in Arkansas

Keep those pics and reports comming

Nimrod was my dad's favorite lake. Many family vacations spent in the cabins which are now gone at the four way. I loved the old store/bait shop.
As low as Nimrod has been, I'm not sure I could fish it without tearing up a lower unit. Also, I probably need some GPS points because it's been a long long time.

Hate to bore everone with old family pic's, but I will post regularly with the current ones.

This one's not a crappie, just a green carp, but it was on a crappie jig with 4 lb test. My son (in the photo) caught it when we were fishing above Des Arc in January.

7.75 lb.

Big fish!!! The water looks familiar? What lake where you on??? I fish some around DesArc and Biscoe on the oxbows and Chain Lakes.

Seven mile

Hmmmmm. maybe I know it as something else? Looks good. Give me a call sometime if you want to go after a few. I have quite a few spots around central arkansas that can produce heavy stringers! My number is 501-231-3374.

As one newbie to another, I just want to say hello. That's an impressive bass your son landed on such light tackle. By the way, you two deserved that slab.....it took real dedication to be out there last friday night... Take care.

Welcome to you also.

Actually, the wind was 5-7 mph, so not too miserable. I will say that when the fog rolled in aroung 11 pm, it got cool!

Titleman -

I'm fairly new to LR. I just moved in August to start school at UAMS, so I haven't found too many honeyholes yet. I decided that I didn't really like Conway, since I broke something everytime I went. So, for the past few months, I've been fishing little maumelle river and other little sloughs in the area. Where are your favorite (close to home) places to fish? Hollar at me sometime and we'll go snatch some up. CEB -

Little maumelle is close, peaceful and many times productive.
I prefer to put in at the horse farm (pay launch). There are some pretty nice crappie in there.

Don't forget about Nimrod (one hour). Plum bayou can be good (40 minutes) when it is right.

I must confess i do a lot of my fishing on a private duck club (to remain unnamed) (sorry) in the Grand Prarie.

Don't give up on Conway. Learn it. The summer draw down will give all of us a good look at what's down under.

"Bore" us? Aint nothing boring about putting up a picture of a hog like that!!! Welcome to the board, we're glad you're here.

Jerry,

I think I've found a new "computer" home.

Thanks for the welcome.

Titleman


P.S. Here's one from January. Not a hog like the other one, but 2.25 lb is still respectable!

Nice fish titleman.........Sure seems that you are right about that boy of yours being hooked! Who knows? That turkey hunting may take a second seat now!!!:D
