My version of the "Nimrod Special"

Been doing a little tying so I decided to tie a version of the famous "Nimrod Special". While my dad and I are definitely planning on making it for Saturday night of crappie camp, we're not positive on fishing. We're just not sure about dragging our Ranger two hours to a lake we don't know. Especially since we occasionally have motor trouble with it. Any way, just in case we do decide on fishing, I thought I might ought to tie us a few jigs just for Nimrod.

Let me know what you think.

Great looking jigs Agrihawg! I would love to have a few 1/8 oz ones. Don't worry at all about pulling your Ranger over here. You can launch at Anderson Branch or Carden Point and troll to anywhere you want to fish. If you have any trouble you will have plenty of help to get back in. We've been doing plenty good spidderigging within trolling distance of either launch ramp.

I think you fish brushpiles if I read posts correctly and memory has not failed. Here is coordinates to COE fish shelters. Can be reached from the ramps with a short run and a few can be accessed if you only use trolling motor.

Those fine looking jigs should serve you well on the lake.

Dito plenty help I am gonna fis and haven't been there in 15 years. Gonna carry binoculars and follow the train

Plenty of fish will be caught. Gets better every day as the water continues to cool down!

Just want to commend you on the jigs, looks like an outstanding job.

Nice looking jigs. I'm sure they will catch in any lake.

Thanks for the coordinates Nimrod! I would really like to give it a try and hopefully put dad on a ton of crappie. We've been doing decent catching, but haven't just really tore them up in a while.

Thanks for the compliments on the jigs! I'm gonna try to tie some 1/8 oz jigs after while.

Don't know if it's in your Arkansas Democrat Gazette, but here Nimrod Lake is featured in the River Valley and Ozark section today.

That was a good article. Thanks for the link.

Here is another attempt, this time in 1/8oz.

With them purty jigs, you won't neccessarily even need the ranger. The crappie will come up in the parking lot to eat them dudes.

Great looking jigs there AgriHawg.

I will have a versoin tied up by the time the truck and boat leave Scott Thursday after work.

Looks good!
