Any NWA members here? Just saying hi. I've been a member for a while now but sadly, not very active.
My home lake is Beaver Lake near Rogers, AR. I've been targeting crappie for only a year or two but this year, I'm hoping to tight line and troll with my spider rig.
Hope to start posting more. Maybe some fishing reports as well.
Welcome from Cleveland county home of meatgetter jigs and minner critters! !!!!!
Welcome from southeast arkansas! Alot of great people, and a wealth of crappie and sonar knowledge. I hope you find many friendships here.
Thanks for the welcome. I'm from South Arkansas originally (El Dorado area) but I've lived here in NWA since 2002. Love the hills up here and the fishing is great!
Sonar knowledge.........yep. I can help with that. :biggrin
Welcome from Batesville, I'd like to learn more about fishing in NWA. My son lives in Fayetteville, I'd like to take him fishing up there sometime but I have no idea where to start. I would think trolling cranks on Beaver should work. Maybe RLCRAPPIE will chime in, I think he's from NWA Hope to see more posts from you.
used to fish beaver back in 75/78 when I was coaching football at Bentonville. mainly out of prairie creek. caught a lot of slabs in the standing timber in a couple of coves fishing about 7-9' in 22' of water. some jigging, some minnows and corks. good luck and welcome. paul
Thanks Paul, good info.Quote:

Welcome from the crappie desert. There are some good fish catchers over your direction.
Ozark angler glad to see another post from NW Ark. We moved to Fayetteville about three years ago and really enjoy living in this area.
Bobby, send me a pm before you want to come to Beaver lake and I will to try to help put you on some fish.Quote:

Same here. I'll do the same.:biggrinQuote:

Welcome from Lake Nimrod. :fish The lake of a billion sailers ( dink Crappie that usually sail back in the water ) :Rofl
Welcome Ozark,
I live in Springdale and fish Beaver mainly as well as a few other smaller lakes in the area. I almost always spider rig when I fish. I haven't been out for a couple of months but will be fishing this next week starting Sat. with my son who is a coach in TX and is coming up to fish for his spring break. We are going over to Eufaula for a couple of days but will be fishing locally as well. PM me or call if you would like to go out with me sometime. I don't charge but enjoy getting to know new people. Mac, same thing for you.

Hello from greersferry lake.
Ah Greers Ferry. Heard it's a beautiful lake. One day I'll get down there and give it a try. Maybe a good camping trip this spring!
Welcome I fish Beaver mostly and I fish out of a Yeller Kayak.
Ah! Another Beaver angler. :-)
Water has jumped up big time. Hoping crappie will start staging for the spring bite soon.
