Well the bite is better than it has been. Ended up with 10 slobber nockers today after a cold blustery day on the river. All fish close to 2lb and fought hard as usual. They were ganged up in one place. I tried a bunch of places with no luck. Caught em single pole 25ft deep on anything chartreuse. They all look like they came out of the same mold. Attachment 144524

Nice fish JW. Hope to see you this winter when I am down in Sheridan.
Paul, you are right I gave up my stubborn way of just spidering. Don't count out the cork and jig method. I grew up fishing that way. Sometimes spidering isn't the best method and one must master all ways to consistently catch fish. I still love spidering and will do that when possible. Combat fishing in some of these crowded winter time holes just isn't very spider fishing friendly. Single pole is very effective and allows me to fish in the water and not someone else's boat lol.
I have fished the river near Maumelle several times lately with no luck on crappie. Plenty bass but no stump knockers. Any tips?
Man I agree with you 100%..I love it all...don't care how or when just want to catch them......I appreciate you, Crappie Pro, Nimrod and all the others that post what you do and how you do it for others like myself to learn. The times are good and it is always a good blessing to get out and fish with your buds and catch fish......we are all lucky.
