Made the trip from Van Buren to lake nimrod on Sunday. Meant to post this a few days ago but I just got my password figured out again. Caught 79 and kept a limit. Several smaller ones but had two good sized ones. Most were caught between 9 and 12 foot deep in 13-20 foot of water. 0.8 seemed to be the magic speed.
Good Nimrod feeshes. How'd ya teach them jigs to swim at .8 mph? :biggrin

Nice fish thanks for sharing
Nice catch. Thanks for sharing.
couple nice ones coach, you should come fish the tourney there in a couple weeks, july 19 with central arkansas crappie association
Everyone doing good before the flood last night. I hope it gets up 20' and maybe some of those guys can jig fish.:Rofl
By the way you did alright.
Great catch. I always love fishing Nimrod in the summer you always know you will at least catch something.
Thanks all. @nimrod, have you had a chance to look at the lake today? I was planning on taking the wife tommorow but I am trying to decide where. I know it's up but I was wondering if it was getting muddy? Any input is greatly appreciated.
Nice catch and Info thanks for sharing!
Looks like scouting is not gonna help much with the rising water I think we will just stay at home this weekend and wing it next weekend.
The rain sure doesn't help.
Nice catch! Were you pushing 1/2 oz weights at .8 ?
Thanks for the post and pics!
I was actually using 3 ounce weights. Hard to find with the bell swivel but it keeps them straight down. I went back today and we did alright, we caught 36 and had 5 get away, threw one back in the lake on accident, had a few jump from my hands as well It was a comical day out there to say the least.
Here's some pics of today's catch. The water was up a good bit but it seemed to not be muddy where I was at.
And those are tiny pieces of paper my wife has pinched between her fingers and the mouth if you look real close. Couldn't get her to bare hand it yet. If y'all see us out be sure and give her a tough time lol
Another good days catch. Nice job.
Another nice days catch. Congrats.
