Hard to leave Nimrod alone

I know it is starting up in other places, but it's sure hard not to head north to Nimrod to drag those ole cranks around. My big brother and I headed out at daylight and had it all done by about 11:00. Lots of shad and lots of crappie under them. I read on the board that they will start putting out nets Oct. 1. That will put a stop to my trolling, have to start jigging I guess. They'll be biting other places by then any way. If you like to troll cranks Nimrod is tuff to beat right now. The last pic is the view from my back porch, and me winding down after a hard day fishing!Attachment 174036Attachment 174037Attachment 174038Attachment 174039

Very nice. One day I'll have a view like that!

Great job!!! Thanks for the post.

I agree it's hard to go somewhere else when you've been catching them at a certain place. When I do I usually wish I hadn't. Good looking fish.

Nice mess of crappie!

Nice haul.

Good Job...

Good job and good tastes all around especially the reserve!

Nice

Nice report. Hard to beat the Woodford!

Nice job. What a view.

Hoping to get out there one more time myself if I can knock out this terrible cold I have. Thanks for the post.

Where is the view?

Can't wait I'm going to be there for two weeks, my yearly fishing trip been looking forward to it since the weather is cooling off

Are you trolling with an electric trolling motor or are you using your big motor? How fast are you dragging the plugs?

40 hp with trolling plate. 1.5 to 1.8 about right.

Awesome job and really nice view!!! You got it made man!

Me and the bank! Arvest calls every Monday to see if I'm at work.

Who said Nimrod has nothing but dinks?

very very nice! RBM i would like to know what lenght rods and make, and type of reels you are using to pull cranks ?

RBM, are you fishing the lower end? The only place I can pull 300's is directly in the boat lanes and river channel otherwise. DP

Pese, I'm using B & Ms 10', 12', 14'. Okuma line counter reels. Dr Pepper, you got some of it right, I'm not pulling 300s. When they put put the gill nets on Oct 1 my trolling thing will be over, better go this week end.

Thank you RBM for the info. I will be in AR the first week of October to do some fine fishing.
