Maumelle! How many brim dose it take to equal one crappie?

Apparently 150 because that's how many brim we kept this weekend & only 1 crappie.Went to my favorite crappie hole and found it over run with brim theirAttachment 157778Attachment 157777 were hundreds of them! Unusual for this time of year their usually shallow by now. Started out with a Rockport Rattler with a lake fork red/chart baby shad they would literally rip the body off the hook so I tied on a double minnow/cricket rig I figured if you can't beat'em join'em! Needless to say we had a blast we were only keeping the one's you could barely get your hand around! Caught several white's too. Don't know how many fish we actually caught but my hands are some kind of sore today.

Bless your soul man. I cleaned 150 bream once..... never again! I still fish for em but I make somebody's day before I get to the ramp! I bet that was a blast! Nice going!

I can still taste the ones my Mama made in a cast iron skillet..........way before I ever heard the word "fillet"........

Yee ha! Now the fish fry. I love big bream.

Man that looks fun. Please share with me the coordinates so I can catch a mess of bream. I will try to catch the bream out so hopefully your crappie will move back in. Nice catch.

no comparison for me but looks like yall had a blast and thats all that counts in my book , if it makes you happy then mission accomplished, congrats!

That's exactly what I said yesterday evening never again!

Fosh, I caught about 35 or so a week ago tonight in about 2 hours along with 7 Kentuckies on crickets.....mine were 30 ft deep.....were these in 8 to 10 ft of water?

Nice pile of fish, poor lonely crappie

They were in 20 to 25 on the channel edge in a bend.

That right there is enough to make me go back and fish Maumelle again!! I love me some bream!! You did good!!

Some good eats right there.

Holy Bluegill!

Dang man.

Awesome haul of some nice bream. I've never cleaned 150, but would be tickled to death to get the opportunity to do it. I would definitely drive to Central AR to get on the bream like that.

Great job! I would be more than happy to catch all them yummy fish!

Crappie Greg I would have to agree my wife says every time I catch a crappie my face lights up like a kid in a candy store. It was fun and we got a year's worth of brim in the freezer in two days.

Maumelle's a beautiful lake and it's full of fish and now is the best time to fish it. The brim should already be shallow so anytime now look for 4 to 7 feet water out in front of the grass you can use brim bugs or slipcorks with cricket my favorite.

Bream can be a blast good job!

RCC, we need to talk at camp. We may need to drive down there and get after some bream. I just happen to know a feller that fishes for bream in there.

Great catch. Would love to put my wife on a haul like that just once. Maybe the grandson's too.
