A Deadly Winter Time Tactic/Lake Dardanelle Is One Amazeing Lake/1-2613

The double Minnow rig landed crappie after crappie on Dardanelle today. The bite was sooo good I dropped from four double minnow rig poles to two. It was one of those days the pole tip's would not rest. As I was baiting one pole the other went down several times. It was crazy and i think I had four doubles on one pole today. The fish were all 9-14 inch fish. Lake Dardanelle is one amzeing lake with Size and Numbers. These fish came out of 35-45 feet deep just off the bottom. A winter pattern where the double minnow rig shines bright. Tight Lines Guys...

Piney?

SWEET!!! that is a nice mess of fish you got there!!!

Good job Russ! Did you see ol hardheaded JW out there today and at least offer him a couple of minnows?:) I been waiting on his report from today. Was wanting to compare minnows/jigs results from today.

Russ looks like you had a hack of a good day on them minnows

I love catching them deep water winter crappie Russ....That's good fishin' and those were some good pics. I've just got to get to Dardanelle before long....time (which is now the most valuable commodity on earth) has just been in too short supply. I was planning on fishing today but wound up spending the whole day at Big Buck Classic with David (Blue Thunder) and three grandchildren and had a blast.

That's a pretty mess of fish. I'm surprised they have so much color to 'em coming out of such deep water. Congrats.

Man those are some nice ones glad you caught them!!!

Congrats Russ

nice

Does anyone know what the BP was yesterday?

You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take country out of the boy

Look at you shine there ole buddy

Good batch o fish Russ. I didnt go Saturday or today but I thumped them all week long. Today I hit that dreaded big 70 mark so maybe I can still thump um a few more trips.

Happy B-Day you are the best dang 70 year old crappie fisherman I know and the Fore Father of Dardanelle Crappie Fishing. Lot's of folks forget who put Lake Dardanelle on the Crappie.Com map for crappie fishing...But I know who he is. ConGrats....

Great catch Russ I am available for trip.Ks

Great catch CP. I made the mistake of taking a buddy up there on New Years day....we each caught a limit...he took a couple of folks back up there over the last few weeks and they have come up just shy of two limits on three occasions.....amazing the number of fish those 3 or 4 general areas give up...

Thanks for the post and pics.

That's one lake I'd give a finger (someone else's) to learn.........

congrats and nice mess
