White hall is closed. If you can get in please call me. You will pay for nothing. We will use my boat , poles, bait and lunch. I loved that place. I guess it would be Old Town.
Where are these places are they in or near white hall if so I'm in
Man, I used to kill em at Whitehall!!!! Didn't know they were closed. I haven't been there in years.
BRM
Yes a flying carp almost killed a lady down there 2-3 years ago and it has been closed since. Its a true shame
Hey Rak - these lakes are oxbows off the MS river. They are as close to you as they are to me. I think I know were your from. Update profile if you dont mind people knowing what part of the state you live in.
The rich folks probably bought it and closed it to the public. Just used the flying carp for an excuse.
Flying carp?!?!?! There's no such thing as flying carp in the Arkansas River or this far down in the Mississippi River...Quote:

I live n pine bluffn ya I heard there's carp down here too never had an encounter this far down
Billy E,
The AGFC insist that them suckers aren't a problem around here. At the last meeting we had, I had caught one 40+lbs and 5 or 6 more that were 20-30lbs in my nets that morning, and I carried the big one into the G&F building and told them to walk out to my boat and see the other ones. They're starting to figure it out maybe.
They're also talking about putting a 10cent per lb "bounty" on them. In the last 3 or 4 years, pool 4 and 5 has gotten terrible. I've really seen the decline in buffalo, shad and spoonbills.
Lookie my location is updated thanx Billy for reminding me I been meanin todo that lol
OK now we can tell you were to fish. I dont get down there as much as I use to but there are some good fishermen down there with info. Pine Bluff Lake though I have never been there it was about this time last year Meatgetter was werein out. Make plans to go to the spring camp in Chicot. Now get out there and get that atrazine and 24d on the ground.
LA - they are good for nothing. If they would hit a bait it might be fun reeling one in. I have had them bounce off my chest , arms and legs. never took one to the head. Were we fish they jump all the way on the bank. That bounty might be better than picking up cans. Thanks for pulling my leg, I need that every now and then.
Ya I talked to meat the other day I got some jigs from him he said about another month before pine bluff turns on an as far as spring camp goes I done had plans to go me n the wifey be stayin at lake shore motel fri night
I have seen them in OLD RIVER in GEARGETOWN ARKANSAS as well as THE WHITE RIVER ON WHIRL LAKE ACCESS
Shane they are every were. If you run the big motor they will find you! I can take you places on the MS river it is dangerous
Fished the Arkansas all my life, from Morrilton to Gore Okla, I ain't never seen no flying carp, but I only drink bonded whiskey...lol
LOL Xring. Billy E who closed it the AGFC or who?
The old man that runs the ramp and the locked gate.
We've got the flying carp up Black River at least as far as Elgin.
i caught a 30lbder in the lap on a ms. oxbow no long ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my partners was by Whitehall yesterday or the day before and confirmed there is a big gate with a posted sign blocking the way in and a big, nice clubhouse or cabin on stilts on some of the higher ground to the north. I know at some point they built a dam or weir down around the runout which I think was to hold water or keep rising water out up to 14 or so feet on the Memphis gauge. Can anyone confirm that? My memory is not what it once was.
Be thankful they will beat the crap out of you if you get into them. I got too close to a rock wing dike on the AR river and had 3 in the boat and got hit by 3 or 4 more before I could get away from it.
I ain't sure,,but suspect the reason we don't have them up here,,yell county, is because these big ole crappie eat'm....what?
lol
