Overcup 3-21-16

After watching the impressive caca weigh in the other day we decided we would go back to the cup and see if we couldn't find some of those big ole slab crappies. We spider rigged the main open part of the lake trying to stay somewhere around .4 mph which at times was hard to do with the wind wanting to push that flatbottom from one end of the lake to the other like a sailboat. I didn't have any chains on me at the time and not wanting to destroy the new drift sock i decided to put out an old window weight and began dragging it behind me. It was on after that , with full control over that boat we beeped and bopped around and got back to setting hooks. We never got on any big numbers of fish but the ones we was on you didn't have to check and see if it was 10 inches or not. Most fish was caught dragging double minnow rigs and arkie pro tube xl in white and chartreuse and midsouth jig chartreuse with some sparkle flake in it. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...d259230b69.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c57cf80968.jpg we sure are having a blast with this spider rigging and are enjoying learning more about it with every trip to the water. Now just need to learn how to use this lowrance elite 4 hdi so I can justify spending the money on a high quality si unit. Any tips for how to educate yourself on these graphs?

:ThumbsUpNice fish! Glad y'all got on them.

youtube teaches everything, just punch it in lowrance elite.

Good looking fish. Thank you for the post.

Those are some nice ones!

Some TOADS!!!!!

Nice size for sure.

Good ones!

Very nice fish, congrats

Nice fish

Kayakcrappieman knows how to put it on them. I've seen him catch some serious thumpers on Conway when nobody else was catching anything. WTG

I moved to Batesville 4 years ago from Mississippi. And I have figured out I work way too much, HA. But looking at venturing out a little bit tomorrow and go to Overcup. Some folks I work with have mentioned it several times so I am off tomorrow so why not try it. What is the go too place there for minnows close to lake? Thanks in advance for the help.
P.S. The one that has been telling me about it is going to Grenada for 4 days. Go figure :/

Check out Overcup LAnding off Hwy 9 on East side of lake or Lakeview Landing off Hwy 95 on West side of lake. Both sell minnows by the dozen, 1/2 pound, or pound.

You're probably working during the day, but if you get a chance stop by the office and visit a minute.

Sure will. The wife is trying to get me back into fishing so that is always a plus :).

A friend of mine, also a cousin to Nimrod's Catch, one caught a 4lb 15oz crappie out of Overcup! While weighing it at the Bait Shop he questioned if it was a state record but some guy said no the state record was way over 5lbs. So he cleaned it and ate it. He found out later that the state record at that time was 4lb 9oz. held by Danny Burfield of Ola! He was upset to say the least!

If he ate a 4 lb crappie he's a dipstick anyway no crappie that size deserves less than being put on the wall not on a plate !!!! some folks just ain't got a clue !!!!!!

Great looking fish Robbie, Purfect example why folks should at least show up at the weigh ins, but it also looks like you and the fam should come and join in on the Tourneys, I would bet we would see you and the miss at the top of the list soon. Great Job and Thanks for the Bacon Buddy. Hope to see you at the Big Fish Tourney at the Big D Apr 2nd if you can make it.
