Lake Maumelle/Dead Sea

I bought a Navionics chip w/a bunch of lake's in AR. on it....going to look at finding winter crappie in the channel....a fellow told me they stack-up for the winter, down toward the upper part of the lake, so I will try running the HB 997 on a search, and destroy mission to find these stacked crappie...not that I'm unsociable, but Gold Creek gets too many boats, on the wk. end...so I shall find enlightenment on the Dead Sea...we'll see, if it pans-fish "out"....my livewell is lonely for some meat....

Good luck, Andy.

Good luck, try the AGFC structures also. The coordinates are on the AGFC website, or PM BigBen.

I may try Maumelle tomorrow (thur). In the channels.

Good luck...Catch a boat load.....

Don't bother with those coordinates. I loaded them in my graph and didn't find a single one.

hope you had a great day on the water.

Let us know how it goes. Hoping you find 'em.

LRJoe1, where have you been? Good to hear from you and let us know how you do today.

I find some of the AGF structures but most turn out to be a mystery.....nothing apparently there. I wonder how much artificial attractors they actually sunk in some of those places.

Hey Creek. I did not go to Maumelle. I did go over to Dardanelle. Ended up with 26 good ones.

How have you been doing up on Greers?

I've lived in Russellville my whole life and have never had one good crappie trip on that lake. The only few people I know that fish it are bass guys. I have a boat and the want-to, one of yall teach me how to fish for crappie on this lake. Seriously...I'd love to tag along or take my boat out and let you tag along.

I to have had little success locating the structures. I nicknamed them phantom......... Did you do any good on the Dead Sea?

Same here!

I talked to the gentleman, at the dock, he told me, water discolored upper part of the lake, so I went down on the creek side of the island, south of Jolly Rogers, trolled a little bit, I had 1oz sinker in line w/3 way swivel, moving about 1.2mph, still appeared to not be enough to keep lines straight down....in 22ft. depth range only caught a good white bass...figure there's going to be, big learning curve, for me...to do well, on Maumelle....

Guys, I put the structured out, and there are anywhere from 5-25 on the regular spots and 50+ on the buoyed areas. I don't have much trouble finding them. If you feel the coordinates are off, try going to www.agfc.com then on the right hand side, click on "resources", then "maps", then "AGFC interactive map", and use the selector tool to choose the structures you want and load them on the GPS. However, this time of year, I would be focusing my attention on the main river channel anyway. Good luck, and I assure you that the sea isn't as dead as its reputation, but you have to work for it.
