Lake Maumelle 4/18

Got get out to the ole "dead sea" this past weekend between the rains. The males are still holding just inside the grass lines. Almost every cast further up into the grass resulted in a 8-10inch Kentucky attacking as soon as it hit the water. We ended up with 10 specs and 2 really nice redear in only about 2.5 hours of fishing (due to rain). 6 fow on the grass line, with a lake fork tenn shad jig on a chart. 1/16 midsouth head was what they wanted.

Also caught my first black nose crappie. Seen pics before but ive never actually hooked one.

Man nice Haul! Dont get any better than that!

good day on the dead sea

Nice fish congrats!

Those are some really nice fish. Congratulations on some gooduns.

Good job. Thanks for sharing.

What part of south arkansas do you deer hunt?

Good Job, Dont' let Maumelle fool ya there is some good fishing in that lake, They are very picky tho about presentations.

Good fish even if they came from the dead sea .:biggrin

Good job on that lake. It is close enough to my house that I do some trolling in the Summer evenings after work. Only way I have ever found any. DP

haha great eye there blue!!! just west of rison.

Nice. Bass fished it a couple times. Them Kentucky's would hammer a buzz bait!

Good job! Some nice fish in the Not Dead Sea!

Did you have minners for backup in case the the ole jig wouldnt work?

no minners needed in the dead sea.

I was just curious what that aerator was hangin on the cooler for. Maybe he wanted to keep the crappie alive.

Nice catch

Nice redear!

Nice haul

Ive caught quite a few Black Nose on Maumelle, Might be stupid but I sometimes release them. I'm on the sdame pattern but catching fewer fish. What time of day? Cloudy or sunny?

Caught them in both, but most days have been somewhat overcast.
