What happened to all the Arkansas fishing reports ??

A few years ago people posted fish pics and told where and how they were catching. Now we get very few reports and those that do rarely even say the lake they were caught on. If I ever caught enough to brag about I wouldn't mind sharing.

I got 10 keepers at Overcup Easter afternoon in 5 foot of water, none had spawned and went back Thursday and only kept 4. Water temp was 63 Sunday and 59 Thursday.

I guess I'm complaining, but I thought we were supposed to share and help each other out. I have been PM'ed by other members and told not to give reports since " you will be covered up next time you go there" !! I understand not giving exact locations and GPS coordinates, but come on - saying you caught a limit at Lake Conway isn't going to put every C.C member on the lake the next day !!

If the Arkansas forum is going to be interesting enough to keep looking at, I think we need to at least suggest that you tell the lake that you caught a nice mess on if your going to post pics and tell the story.

Since Nimrod, Crappie Greg, and Crappie Pro, and Foshe stopped posting with their stories, we rarely get any info to help a novice guy out. I understand that Crappie Pro is out of action - hopefully to return Very Soon. I am sure he is in all our prayers.

Lets make this forum a little more interesting by not being selfish and at least give a clue as to the lake and what's going on with the spawn, water temps, water level, etc so a guy can figure out where to spend their Saturday off !!

If I ever catch a "tale gate picture" mess I will share !! If I can figure out how to download a picture from my IPhone.......

Heck if I go and get a mess I will post it proudly, been one time this year and only got three little ones

Too many lurkers these days , sorry . :dono Will tell ya better look deeper after this major cold front . :twocents

We caught a few nice ones on Greeson Wednesday, but just a few. Some in 2’ of water, some at 10’. Couldn’t ever really nail them down. Attachment 297510

Attachment 297553 They been biting all over . This cold snap and 2.5'' of rain will effect them .

I really don't understand the big deal myself. I guess I could understand this a bit more if the area was the size of the "pond" in Conway but don't see how it would cause major concerns for the rest of the lake. If applied to say Greers stating a few were caught in 6' of water next to standing timber isn't going to wipe out the species the next day even if the hordes descended on the lake like locusts.

You would not cause you don't fish like many of us do . Name the water body and people will find you . I quit Atkins because people crowded so bad they bumped into my boat when I was catching . Do your home work like we do . Sometimes we fish as many as 5 bodies of water in a week looking for fish . Let everyone do their own searching . I have dumped several fishing partners after they shared my information .

There is your answer right there Nimrod has shared a lot on CC.com but why with attitudes like that. Thank you Nimrod I appreciate all your post

Nimrod probably doesn’t even remember but he’s sent me messages with tons of information when I first started on here. I’ve got no problem with a man wanting to keep his honey holes a secret, I literally had a guy pull next to me last year where I could have touched his boat with the 11’ jigging pole I was using......at a fairly small brush pile [emoji849]

The title says a lot to me --- Many of the Crappie have already spawned here in La. The high winds and rains have kept many home instead of fighting the Conditions... With that said, there are few reports on our Forum also and I came to the Ark Forum looking for something to read

It's not about folks not wanting to share, it's about folks lacking respect. Crappie holes, duck woods, highways, grocery store, your own front yard, on and on. While I believe most that post on here had respect for others beat into them as a child, there is a bunch of folks out there (young and old) that believe they can take whatever they want, your property, your knowledge, whatever.

So how many times being disrespected do you think it takes for a man to figure out he needs to shut up. Screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me.

Not hard to understand

I’d love to do fishing reports every week. Working out of day for 14 days at a time kinda kills that idea, then being home only 7 days with 3 kiddos running around....fishing/hunting definitely takes the back burner nowadays

I didn't start this thread to point fingers at anyone. I just know that 3 or 4 years ago there would be 6 or 8 posts a day with fish pics and stories on where and how fish were being caught. Now, there are very few fish reports and even fewer that even name the lake. I understand not giving up your "honey hole" but naming a lake is hardly giving away that much of a secret. I used to see people post pictures of the jig they were using- remember the " Nimrod Special" purple and chartreuse jig ? I have watched Nimrod pull up to a spot and catch and release 5 or 6 crappie in 5 minutes doing his single pole ritual while I had been spider rigging for several hours and not caught that many. Out of respect to him, I won't say where that was- but he knows. I don't blame anyone for not telling anything they don't want to tell. I just enjoyed seeing pics of someone catching and telling a little info to make me inspired to want to go try it again. This forum gets pretty boring when all we get is " Anyone ever fished Lake Catherine?" and the response is "Not in several years, but try by the boat docks" . In my opinion Nimrod, Crappie Pro, Crappie Greg, and Foshe could probably draw op a 5 gallon bucket of water and start catching fish out of it- I cannot do that. A limit for me is about 8 or 10 on a good day- which makes it worthwhile to me to keep going. Sure, every now and then I get lucky and do pretty good, but that is the exception. I enjoy looking at this forum and seeing that others are catching fish and giving a little tip as to how sure makes it more interesting and makes me want to keep on trying. I wish good luck to all as the time is just about right - at least in West Central Arkansas - for the crappie to go on a tear !!

Still using same baits by Southern Pro , Jig heads by Timmy Tom, but changed rods to Todd Huckabee to swing them in easier . I have seen you on several lakes and you know how I fish , Get after them .:biggrin

I’ll be using the nimrod special tomorrow [emoji41]. Caught some big slabs off that little set up

Great attitude. Now you know why most don’t share info anymore.

Nimrod will tell anyone how and where to catch fish if you PM or call him, but with lurkers like this, everyone can understand not putting it on the open forum.

You Da Man Nimrod.

"You would not cause you don't fish like many of us do ."

Now that is funny right there. Thanks for the chuckle, you obviously don't know me at all. Excuse me while I wipe the coffee off the screen before I hook the boat up.

Interesting thread. Heck just go fish the to shoe. Folks here in eastern Arkansas are more than happy to share everything they have about that lake. I think there are a dozen threads on that lake...pimping what, when, where, and what is working or not working. If you can't get enough information from those threads to catch fish on that lake might as well throw in the towel.

Looks like your a lurker only till you get a chance to bash someone for not giving you the information you seek .:Rofl

I've not even read this whole thread, I'm at Grenada fishing and a little out of touch, but this conversation is done. This is a family friendly site and I'd like to keep it that way.
