It looks like everything is good for Saturday on the Little Maumelle. We are bumping up the eat time to 12 noon. We plan to have fried crappie, hushpuppies, and fries. If there are any special requests, just let me know.
Now to get a headcount....Please reply to this thread if you plan to come fish and/or eat.
Me and my 16 yo will be there at noon with boat, appetite, and fishin' attitude
Looking forward to ya'lls acquaintance
You guys get plenty of pics. I wish I could be there, but a 3yr olds bday take priority. Looking forward to the April date!
me and Jason will be there.
We have a soccer game 11:30 at Muray Park but I plan to be there when we get done. CEB I need to get with you and figure out how I can get you the cookies my wife is baking so you all can have them if I don't get there in time. May try fishing LM in the a.m. (3-16-07). CEB if you are going tomorrow, give me a call. Mike
Man, you are cutting my redear hunt short on Conway. But, I guess I will come eat some of your fish so I will not hurt your feelings. The boy is planning on coming too. The wife might come as well to see what the heck I put those pipes in that cement for.

In an effort to show that we don't discriminate, I'll bring my filet knife and we can clean those redear's from your morning trip, and fry them right along side the crappie.
I have a couple of condos that need a swim, so that will make us yet another hole on the Little Maumelle. Be sure you bring your gps so you dont have to hunt em next time you go. How tall are the condos you made? Mine are about 15 feet tall. =DRPEPPER]Man, you are cutting my redear hunt short on Conway.

CEB - I will try to get by there myself. However I am in a boat depression right now, all I have is my oxbow/bayou boat which is a 10' 2 man Pelican boat. I am not sure about it on the LM with all of the bass masters running their 300 hp by me:eek:
But I would like to come and meet everyone. Do you need more fish, fries, hushpuppies?
I will be there with my nephew. we might be a little late because we'll be haveing a birthday party for him at Chuck-E-Cheese's, but I think he is more excited about the fishing and hopefully catching of some crappie. We hope to be there at 1:00 by the latest. What do we need to bring?
You need to bring your poles and some tackle and jump in the boat with one of us. We will have or make room for ya. I may have room in my boat but I am just not sure of my crew yet.Quote:

Mine ended up being about 5 foot tall and about that wide. I don't know if I am going red ear hunting or not. I am still trying to find those lids off the barge I posted about a couple of weeks ago. If this wind don't die down today, I will be hunting them in the morning. It is howling at the port right now.

Jake I'm glad your going to be able to make it. Look forward to meeting you and your nephew. You don't need to bring anything but your drinks for this get together.Quote:

Vince I hope your wife is OK; I know when my wife had surgery it put a big strain on me.
I have a question for the Ring Leaders:
1. If you didn't go to work or fish this morning, you might not have noticed it was a little cooler this morning; what do we need to expect from the fish in ya'll's area?
2. Starting at noon, are we still nightstalking?
3. Where on that side of Little Rock can I get minnows?

It's really difficult to plan events such as this during spring. The weather conditions fluctuate about as much as the crappies' attidutes.
We are starting around noon-ish. I have an exam on Monday, so I won't be doing any fishing tomorrow. But, I plan to be at the boat ramp on the Little Maumelle around 11am. Get things set-up and start cooking. I hope to hang out with everyone till about 2pm or so. Most folks plan on fishing tomorrow afternoon, but Gooch and probably a few others (anyone is welcome) might stick around for a little while after the sun goes down.
As far as minnows, we collected some money at the last get-together. I think we may take $10 out of that money and go buy a pound of minnows. Other than that, Zimmerman's on South University is probably your best bet since you'll be heading up to Little Rock from the south.
1) Fish should be somewhat shallow though I suspect this mild front may have pushed them a little deeper. We are going to fish further up the river than we typicaly do as all reports indicate the fish have moved up into the cypress.
2) We will have some stay for the nightstalk and I will be one of those. I have all the lights we need so dont worry about buying one if you dont already have one on hand.
3) If your headding out of Hot Springs with a stop at Chuck e Cheese you would probably have time to get minnows in the spa and keep them till you fish. If you want to get them here try Zimmermans on University or Hatchet Jacks in NLR on Chrystal HillQuote:

Also, if anyone has an extra tank of propane left over from last grilling season, please bring it. Also, bring a chair and drinks for yourself.
And I hope that your wife has a speedy recovery, Vince.
Just put propane, cooker, and hot sauce in the truck, belly's growlin' already
DP, I just got back from bouncin' off stumps in Conway, redears are biting but I have yet to catch a keeper size using redworms, all little males
I know tonight I will be putting some line on the reels and watching the Hogs. I have not really been fishing since September and I can not wait. My nephew has called three times today excited about the fishing.
I will be there. Never have been on the Little Maumelle.
Hi guys. Gooch, do you still think someone will have room for me in a boat? I plan to leave here about 0900, so I should be at the launch by noon. Let me know OK.
Dave
I don't see it being a problem with boat space. I would be glad to squeeze you into my boat depending on crew size.
See you at noon tommorow.Quote:

LRJoe - going early, not staying late? Will you be there to eat, Joe?
Raker to eat
Hey CEB,
Thanks for remembering me, been a little busy today and this is the first time at the site today to see the post. Me and "Snack" will be there and try to bring some goodies to go along with the meal. Hey Gooch, I did go and get one of those akaline powered LED drop lights we talked about for the stalk. Remeber your dream about having second hole to go to at night????
You bet, Chris. That'll be pretty sweet to hang a light in the skinny water to throw some jigs at.
And one more note...Without a doubt, the ramp will be extremely busy tomorrow. If you aren't bringing a partner, be sure to grab one of us to help you get your boat in the water.
And another note...If anyone who is coming out to join us tomorrow has a GPS, send me a pm and I'll shoot you the coordinates.
I just got my GPS by UPS a Lowrance H20, haven't a clue how to work it, maybe someone has one or can show me some stuff. Hope I made enought crappie flies. Oh yeah, Lesa is out in the kitchen right now making that dessert I brought last time. See you at noon.
Dave
Chris - I won't be eating but will be dropping by at some point to say howdy and meet folks.
J
Chris, will bring the cookies my wife is baking tonight by the ramp at 11:00 before our soccer game. May even drop my boat and trailer so I don't have to drag it Maury Park. Will be back after the soccer game. After fishing with you this week, I have attempted to make my own spider rig. Only half done (4 holders). It will be its maiden voyage tomorrow. Not sure if it is going to work or not. No laughing at the ultimate spider rig built on the CHEAP. See everyone tomorrow.
Ill be there with bells on and maybe a friend if he can get a kitchen pass
It looks like everything is good to go. I just thawed out a pack of crappie just to be on the safe side, so I hope everybody is bringing their appetite. Be sure to bring a jacket today too...:D
