Good Thumpers

Attachment 151669Lately fishing reports didn't seem to be that good from Dardanelle, Beaver, or several other lakes. I thought we were going to have to drive to Conway again to catch a few. Yesterday morning the forecast looked pretty good and not a lot of wind. Went to Beaver and caught a good mess of fish( a few were in the 13-15 inch category). Caught most of them in 10-16 fow - tight lining jigs. The wind did shift and blew hard out of the east and the bite was off. Is it my imagination or do crappie just taste better out of 43 degree water?

nice pic, they taste better the faster they go from the fillet knife to the grease

Hey at least you didn't get skunked

good lookin fish Richard , looks like yall had a pretty good day, thanks for the pics and post!

Good job. Small crappie taste JUST LIKE CRAPPIE.

I think they taste better out of cold water RL, but the effort to fish in cold water and weather might have something to do with it. Good post:)

Pretty fish. A great start to crappie season.

Wtg!

Nice ones RL!

Good fish and yes sir they are better out of clean cold water!

Good haul there rl

Ain't catching fun?

Nice richard!! Congrats and thanks for the post and pics

Nice fish!!!

deep, cold, clear lakes, I think the crappie taste a little better. That east wind will shut em down. Good report

Great job RL, keep me posted on the fishing over there. As soon as i get my boat out of the shop i would love to come and join you some time. I have some real good spots i would be willing to share.:highfive

I only dream of catching fish these days, congrats. on the catch
