First you beat a dead horse. Then you stir the pot with lurkers. Now your giving away all your brush piles. I think ive read where you work at the hospital you could just try and find one of them psychiatrist and see if they could help you. Haha. I will say you have got a lot more people posting,myself included.
Thats what its about is getting people contributing to the family here. Too many of us are the same old goobers posting and new faces and info is welcome. P.s no meds would help. With the new electronics available secrets wont remain secrets long. Just trying to help everyone members or not.
Since this is an Arkansas form why don't you post some waypoints on lakes that are not just supposedly centrally located! That's kinda funny thems the only ones you give waypoints too!
That's the lakes he fishes.
That's funny also because he threw a fit becouse the tourneys we are gonna have would be unfair because them are our home waters! And we're to far away from them!

Good grief, go back to the duck hunting forum on arkansashunting.net. There is always one
Which ones you want? Maybe some else can help. Are you ready to offer some waypoints up?Quote:

Most of us start with the coe for brushpiles, and some, like abh goes out on windy days or days when fish aren't biting, and look for brush and stumps. I may be speaking out of turn, but this board is one big family, and attitude and helping is a big plus. Don't know where you are from, but meet us at Dardenelle in April, and see how much help we can be.Quote:

Guys excel is not wanting way points his point he was trying to get across sounds like to me is he was confused on how ABH has all these spots on our tournament lakes when he says to the tourneys are not fair and they are others home waters. I don't think he was having an attitude just saying what the heck don't complain about something when he fishes those waters all the time but won't fish the tourneys.
Oh he has lost it! Thank goodness he has one of those fancy fish finders so he can find it.
Well all the Dardanelle points and maps are online on the parks website. I'm not sure he was complaining about the lakes them self but just that they were all central Arkansas lakes and he was under the impression it was a statewide tournament series or club. It just happens most of the better crappie lakes are located there.
Dustin welcome. I glad to see you posting after being a part oh the forum sense Aug. :cheers2
I think everyone needs to say a prayer and thank AB for his help!!
I guess when you ask for comment and you share your thoughts it is taken as complaining. Yes i have been to those lake!
At least express and a few others understood why i mentioned that they were all centrally located.
I was asked by midsouth to head a tourney up here in pine bluff. I explained that wasn't fair cause it was my home water. I declined and asked that a poll be taken as I would definitely be biased in my choice. Is this complaining, or practicing what i was preaching about being fair? darn sure seems like i was trying to be fair. If it is a "Arkansas" association then have lakes around the state and not so many in some of you guys back yard!! So now who is complaining? Seems to me like maybe I was one of the few that was offering suggestions to make things FAIR to all people. If not i would have taken the option offered by midsouth to head a tourney here in my backyard.
With that said, i still stand that if one comes here I would help out if asked. I could care less about fishing it. Is that complaining or being Fair.
I call stuff as i see it. If you don't want suggestions then don't ask for them. Hope y'all do well.
As far as the new guys coming to the tourney and learning a lot I don't see that happening. I wanted to let make newbies aware of that too. When people tourney fish they are serious and the two i have been too, it was all about fishing and not helping newbies.
I have saved the conversations i have had and would be glad to show them if need be regarding your tourney with midsouth. I have nothing to gain or lose and stand behind what i have stated.
I have stayed out of your thread and refrained from any more comments on the tourneys as i made my suggestions and any further would be complaining in my eyes.
April 20 is the same day we were having the ARKANSAS spring camp too! Is this a good thing or bad thing? Not my call just again stating the obvious. We usually have a big fish tourney for our camp members that day.
Feel free to contact me if any one needs more discussion or clarification. Dennis or midsouth and many others have my number.
Thanks ABH. It takes a real nice guy to share some of his work with folks. As for the complainers, you want someone to put your brush piles out for you as well? You should be thankful he even did that.
I don't remember anyone asking you for your comments on it. It was just the rules and the schedule. That was it.
I'm glad to see the comments here, it only takes one crappy attitude to ruin the overall attitude of a helping community. I was gonna set the record straight in my previous post but felt I'd give ABH his shot to respond.
ABH is nothing but helpful to who ever asks, you should try that approach excel. ABH's comments about tourneys were what a lot of us were thinking, let's spread it out over the whole state. It didn't have anything to do with him not knowing those waters.
They did ask for comments about.
You put a post up, correct. Then its fair game to have comments. I made no derogatory statements. Didn't put it down in any way. Just stated the obvious. I will not comment to you any more as i can see this going no where. I am not in to a peeing contest or here to bash you or anyone else. If you have something to say call me 501-951-1091. Good luck with your endeavors!!
I am located in Texas so I have no dog in this fight BUT, I think posting waypoints that you have knowledge to is one of the best things I have ever seen done in fishing. Since crappie move so much thru out the year a person would still have to know when certain way points would be productive.
I will put myself up for adoption into the Arkansas family if you are taking in outsiders.
Sharing information I think is a great deal. If you want to come to Texas, I will show you everything that I know about the lakes that I fish.

Hey Bow, you got any waypoints for the Pine Bluff area? I been thinking about heading that direction soon.

Every since I was a little boy I have observed crappie fishermen, most notably my dad. He and his Reynolds partner would put out the beds and fish the brush. To get my dad to tell you anything about his honey holes was like pulling teeth from a chicken. I went away to Vietnam thinking he would trust me a bit more but the crappie beds were always secret. I said all that to say his, I ask for help when I fish a strange lake but I hope you folks out there will believe me when I say I have a lot better things to do then steal your honey holes. I respect you for all the hard work you put into them and do not believe in taking advantage of anyone. I have to agree with CP that if you are good, then no matter where you fish you are going to get your limit. What is my point you may ask, well it is this, the crappie camp is coming up and some folks are going to be coming from a long way off so I just hope that all the locals will share and not get tighted lipped so all of us will catch crappie.
Cmj i will try to help ya out. Uaag has the most recent information posted. The river here has not turned on good yet and the fish seem to still be in open water and not on brush or structure. The hard part about the river is they are in one place today and gone tomorrow as the fish here travel a lot. I can tell you i caught them on a brush pile and you go there the next day and bot get a bite. Ask xring and nimrod as they fish the river on there part of the statr or bigkev as he fishes just north of me. Been helping folks behind scenes for a while and do my best in the future. The river is a different beast unlike the lakes. Here in pine bluff we have no big creeks like dardenelle or bays. Big flats and drop offs along with potholes under the water. Am i making sense?
Gotcha, thx.

Bow hunter, As a previous lurker i would like to thank you for your lurker thread. It got me to thinking also and about what little I know that could possible help others who are not as blessed as I am. I personally have never fished any of the other lakes mentioned except nimrod, but have come to the conclusion I need to spread my wings and try new waters. I do not know about the other GPS coordinates you posted, but as for nimrod those coordinates are SPOT ON!!! With that said, for those who don't fish nimrod much the corp pile do receive heavy pressure. But there are generally fish on most of them at all times( although small ones may be the rule). If you back away from and circle the piles generally 40-50 yards circles around these piles you will increase your way points by 3 or 4 times. Some of these piles have seperated others have been added by others around them to help pull fish in. It works and usually the other piles off to the side will hold some better fish.
I had much rather have ti find me anorher spot to fish sometime because someone is on one of my spots than not to tell anyone and die and they never be fished again and me not be fondly thought of.
I should have slowed down, I could have worded thAT a whole better
