Fair Day On The Arkansas river near Maumelle

Started fishing at 10:00AM to dark, me and my uncle caught 37 fat river crappie, these fish haft to be just about ready to spawn by the next full moon they were full of eggs and some of the healthist crappie I have seen. The wind blew we caught these fish 3-4 feet deep on #46 MeatgGetter and White and Chart Mid South tubes under a cork, around cover the bite was steady from the time we hit the water. Dont know what I will do for tomarrow was thinking Dardanelle or Nimrod but its suppose to blow 30 plus. May just go back to this spot. Ohh ya no minners or no Spiderrigging on this trip. LOL

You say fair, I say great:)

Good job Russ!

nice mess uf river slabs

With a catch like that I would go back to the same spot.

Good catch! I'd be headed back to the river too

Good catch Russ!! Those are some fat ones! The River lakes down here are getting good also.

Wind so bad I took off yesterday and probably today. Good catch under these conditions. Glad to see your back to real fishing and not seining with the spiderrigs.

boy howdy, nice ones russ

wow! i bet that was fun watching that cork go under... Nice mess of fish.

Them are some purdy fish, wtg.

Great catch bud

Nice mess there Russ !! You puttin in by the RR tracks ?

We moved most of our nets to thin water last weekend. We've been catching a limit or 2 in just about every net every other day or so. All of 'em big ole thick backed fat blacks just like what you got pictured. We thought they were fat from gorging on shad.

nice catch

I see you couldn't find any big fish.

Do you fish the backwaters of the river,or oxbows? I was down there a few weeks ago working and noticed some really nice looking spots to fish. But was wondering where you would put in to fish them. I've seen the ramp off of 430. Just wondering if there's one on the north side of river at Maumelle?

Those look really nice. Hope the wind doesn't mess you up today.

Did your uncle talk any while you were fishing??:dono I have been using those mid south jigs a lot lately I caught 30 or 40 keepers on them at Nimrod. I bet I got 20 on one jig but I didn't pick off those little legs like you do. Good fishing pal.

rtark , how did your buddy do on the ''Nimrod Special'' I gave him?

Good catch CP! Nice sized slabs!!
