We caught a good mess today finaly! We ended up with over 40 keepers on two trips today. All most all of them were caught in weeds out of the wind. We uses black/green curl tails. I'll be out the next two days on trips, I'm not sure on Saturday yet!Attachment 9795
Nice catch J.T. , glad someone up heres doing it. My best is 6 at a time. What area were you in? Islands up white river past Niels Bluff?
Nice catch JT! WTG!
Looks like you had some good help. Nice fish.
Alright man!!! That's what I been waiting to see! Looks like you had quite the crew...bet you were a busy man!! Keep up the good work, it only gets better from here on out for a while....(knock on wood!!!) -- I went by and talked to the guy about my boat, he said it's a FOR SURE deal so I am waiting on him to get ready for me now....can't wait! I am planning several 3 day weekends (taking Friday's off) so hopefully I'll see you out there from time to time with a boat full of customers and livewell FULL of slab Beaver Crappie....good luck!
MM
That sure does look like a happy crew and a nice stringer of crappie. Hope your next two days are just as productive...
Most of the fish where caught in the back of Nelson Hollow, Piney Creek and in and around Hickory Creek. Look for the dead weeds sticking out of the water, and it is there where you will find fish! Good luck!
So you are telling me a man could almost walk the banks around Hickory campgrounds and up in the cove and possibly yank a few from dry land? :DQuote:

There were a lot of bank fisherman catching crappie around the park. I saw a guy and his dog catch a limit right in front of me! Did you get my e-mail the other day Caleb. I haven't had a lot of time to talk on the phone latley!Quote:

Thats a good looking catch. Bet it sure felt good to put all those kids on some fish.
dang its been too windy I thought this week. I will try friday.
Wow, great picture. that had to be fun...
Hey man hope thje weather cooperates for Us on Tuesday, we are ready to hit um hard.
Hey JT, is Beaver warmer than Bull Shoals? I know BS is deeper, so it must be slower to warm. I fished today and could only find water 49 - 52 on either side of the lake. Had a tough time in the wind, only caught one big bluegill.
Water on Beaver is 54 to 58. I caught some more today in the weeds!Attachment 9810Quote:

I'll drop a minnow in the weeds next time. Maybe later today if the wind lays and it don't rain. Thanks JT.
I haven't tried points yet. I have been fishing in the back of coves and small pockets along the main cove in front of the dead weeds.Quote:

Jigs, Minnows, what would you reccomend....I went to Sportman's Warehouse with StinkiesDaddy yesterday, we stocked up on some jigs (blk/chrtrse, red/white, red/chrtrse, all diff. style tails for diff. action of course.) Got 1/16 oz. jig heads -- the red hooks. I got some shinee hinees, and some I've never tried before, called SPRO Baby Bucktails...StinkiesDaddy said they have worked for him in the past..I also am trying a new Mitchell reel, the 308Xe...once I get my boat I'll be in BUSINESS!Quote:
