Has anyone noticed any spawning activity yet? I have not noticed any as of yet. If they are spwning they aren't in the same spots they were last year. This time last year they were getting a real good start. Just wondering whats going on around the state.
Observed none on lake Erling yet but feel like it could be happening and I have been looking in wrong places.
Noslab.
I've been catching them in staging depths, feeding in 6 to 8 of water. But egg sacs are really ripening and starting to get some dark males, won't be long.
its on in most of the river lakes. been catchin em 1-2ft deep on shiners w/ slip cork. all of the spots i found them last year are dry ground now.
The above average temps late this week should get them in the shallows !
Water temps only in the mid 50's here. Fish still deep for the most part. This warm weather forecasted should kick start the fish if water warms about 10 more degrees. Have noticed the males starting to darken some.
.
theyll start good by the end of this week they started coming up here on blue mountain but that cold front knocked em in the head.
resivior along ar river. lumdstens near gillet. they moved up into 2-3 ft of water in buckbrush at 2 pm. many males. 58 degree water. eggs not nearly ready yet
I managed to catch 18 sunday on a small lake near dardanelle in 2-3 ft of water. caught males and females
Been hearing good reports from Holla Bend.
Went to felsenthal yesterday morning and only caught one. I think I left about the time they were gonna get cranked up but my hungry belly took over. Went to Chicot yesterday afternoon. Didn't try for crappie but did try bass. They didn't cooperate at all. Oh well glad the grocery stores still sell chicken!! Looks like thats what I'll be eatin!!!!
I caught a good bunch yesterday . A buddy and I did well again today till the wind blew us off the lake. Catching mostly males turning dark but still deep.
Hello Crappie Buddy, is anyone caughting crappie in the conway area, gold lake, canny creek or iron bright.Would like to go this weekend, Thanks
Read those posts without looking at the dates, and y'all really had me confused. Knew I was catching fish 15 ft deep Friday.
