Got a good laugh yesterday

Picked up a paper with sports page full of fishing reports . It said Lake Nimrod excellent for Crappie right now . The lake is bad muddy and 30' high ! Nimrod has been high and muddy for awhile . Only ones I've seen or heard Crappie fishing here are a few in the river below the dam . There has been some fish caught below the dam but most I know about been small . Not sure where the reports come from but AGFC report is from Perryville bait shop and a local marine salvage dealer near the lake that don't fish .:Rofl

Experts at something they don't know about. Some of those down here in south Arkanss too. GTT

Nimrod is correct. Those guys that give the newspaper the fishing reports don't even fish. Unless there is a big change the paper just repeats the previous weeks report. I wish the paper would get their info from Andrews Bait shop, they are on the lake and usually have upto date info

Headed for the lake, the bite is finally on.

I was headed that way after reading the report.


HA


Kind of reminds me of all the Presidential Debates I have watched over the years.

Go ahead and give a first hand report . :biggrin

The reports are from tackle shops and sometimes they need to turn their bait so fishing is good. I think I should give the reports since I don't fish anymore.

Call the guy that puts together the report for AGFC and volunteer your services .:biggrin

Andrews is a good fella in my book and will tell ya whether the lake is doing anything. The reports have rarely been accurate. They are fun to read though. Guess if they were accurate then just give a lot of folks something to gripe about bringing too much folks to the lake and fish.

Kinda like duck hunting report now, pretty useless. Sad to see what was once a good tool for the weekend warrior to help up their odds go useless due to so many selfish folks that say the reports cause over fishing and hunting.

Taboo for folks to talk about where they fish anymore. Times have changed and not for the good with all the greed, envy, and jealousy in this world now.

I hope everyone catches a boatload of fish, keep what you can use and release the rest.

Nothing can hide from side scan and gps these days.

Finding fish is no secret anymore for the average Joe, with all the technology and imagery that has been produced in the world, anyone can catch fish when the lake waters have not been disturbed by tremendous amounts of rain and wind. It's like anything else, when you do your homework on the water it will not be hard to catch fish. I see all these photos of fish being caught in different states by folks who have a guide, these men have done a complete job of putting stake beds and brush piles in the waters so there guide service is able to keep customers happy happy happy. In closing, when i read the fishing reports of area lakes that fishing is good and end up with no fish, it's like listening to the weatherman and his forecast, partly sunny partly cloudy some light rain and then it pours cats and dogs for three days. Those bait shops have along wait for me to come buy live bait, someone taught me to fish with only Southern pro tubes and they work.
