I'd like to finally get out on Maumelle this weekend. I know it's a pretty big question but I was wondering if anyone could at least point me towards a part of the lake to start out at. With how high Nimrod and some of the other lakes are I figured this would be as good a time as any to try out a new Central Arkansas place.
Go west under the bridge.Go with trolling motor about 100 yds on the right is a row of stumps just under the water!!! next too channel.White /chart midsouth tube 1/8 oz leadhead,purple/chart umbrella tube 1/8 oz leadhead,pearltruse crappie magnet on a 1/8oz doublecross leadhead or the black/chart crappie magnet,1/8 oz double cross leadhead!!! hope this helps.We just jig around the row of stumps!!! You may have to weed out the white bass!!!!
Sweet, there's a lot of water on that lake and it's good to have a place to start.
Send a PM to Bigben 7 or just get the public PVC condos coordinates for GPS.
the dead sea lol , the cove where the sail boats are has alot of bush piles in it you bjust have to go slow and look with the depth finder , good luck
Anyone have a recent cost to put in at Jolly Rogers? I know it's a tough lake, but it is close which is appealing when it's going to be tough fishing everywhere.
5$....give it a few warm days and they will be staging on the grass line...that's when it gets fun!
I caught a few last Sunday evening on the west end on some old road beds....13ft deep.... Mostly males.....if they have moved up get in 6 or 7 ft of water....throw to the bank slow roll out till you hit the grass line and let it drop.....if they r there you can catch some 14 to 15 inchers
If you have a 25hp or less, go up the road about 1/2 mile past the bridge, and launch for free at the AGFC ramp.

Looks like the vote is on the west end of the lake and look for grass beds, channels, and old roads.
I fished the West end on Monday afternoon, but I was really up in the creek. The water was pretty muddy and had a good current after the rains. All I caught were some nice whites.
The water might have cleared up a little by now though.
That public launch on the West end is called Sleepy Hollow and it is a nice ramp for 25HP and under.
Ya know , some people DO go back in the history and check out the post when people actually helped each other. Gotta look at the dates.
I went today. It was the first time I've been there in 3 years. I spider rigged the west end with minnows. Lots of bass & whites but only managed 2 crappie. The two crappie I did catch came from one of the marked brush piles in about 12' of water and were both decent fish. I had a 5-6 pound large mouth on for a few seconds from the same brush pile. She went airborne & that was all she wrote. I plan to give it another go next week. The whites tried to eat all my minnows. It was kind of fun having 3 rods bowed at once.
If you’re wanting to see water clarity above lake maumelle check out the gauge at the hwy10 bridge - last time i looked online i noticed it had a turbidity meter, temp, height, and a couple others.
