I've been wanting to hit some Arkansas lakes for sometime now and plan to this year. I've heard Nimrod has some really big crappie that can be caught regularly. Which lake or lakes is/are the best for biggest crappie, and most. Are there any guides that are recommended? Can you spider rig down there? Thanks for anything it would be much appreciated from this ol Missouri boy.
Don't expect any out sized Crappie on Nimrod. If you want to catch large numbers it's your lake. You have to cull lots of fish most days to keep a limit 10'' and above. Look elsewhere for a wallhanger.
Danny white river and Arkansas river and their lakes produce some monsters!!
Lake Conway has size and numbers most all the time. Check it out in march, and April for large spawning brooder.
Not to run you out of our state but if you want wall hangers you must go to Mississippi. For nice size blacks do what Shane says. Down south of Little Rock they say there are some good lakes. (wink wink) Make plans to come to our Spring Camp. They say its planned on a lake known for it big crappie
My experience on Nimrod has been an occasional nice fish with a hole bunch of baby crappie. I hate to admit this but Billy E is right on where the big crappie are supposed to be. haha
Creekslick catches some pretty good crappie!!!! and right up their with the best!!!!
No I know all about sippi, I plan to make a giant circle, starting in Tenn, down to Sardis, the Greneda over to Ark, then back home north to Missouri. If I catch a 3# fish in Sipp or even close I will be satisfied with catching fish anywhere in arkansas. So I may head to Bull Shoals, Nimrod, Beaver somewhere close to home. I've heard Lake Greeson is a hotspots for 2# fish?Quote:

Old town, mellwood and lower scrubgrass turn out nice crappie
When are you planning to come through AR? That will probably make a difference on which lakes to fish. I would recommend Conway from Sep. thru March/April then STAY AWAY unless you are experienced with that type of lake, ie. finding the right trees to fish, mosquitoes as big as grasshoppers, stumps that have teeth, that sort of thing.Quote:

Just don't expect many over 2 lbs . 100 + fish days on Nimrod more the norm than the exception in stable water and weather.Quote:

I'm gonna give it a go hopefully late March early April. I'm not set in stone yet. May have to con the wife in to going down this summer to serve as a double venture to one of those Hot Springs or something down there. I'm really hoping to get to MS this spring though may have to do the circle this summer.Quote:
