Sugarloaf Lake

I went out for a few hours Saturday evening and found a few in 8 feet of water on a submerged tree. Water temp was 58. The bite was slow and they were on the bottom. Caught them on a white and red deer hair jig. Sure was fun to feel that thump.
Thanks for looking and good luck to everybody!

. I have heard that casting a small jig is the way to go in the spring there. I have caught several in the fall dipping trees.
Good luck to you!

Thanks for the report! I've lived in the Fort Smith area for a long time and never tried it out.

Those are some pretty fish. It looks like those hair jigs are paying dividends.

Now, that is the way to give a fishing report right there !! See post on "What happened to Arkansas fishing reports" I bet that didn't hurt a bit, did it Matt ??? I never even heard of Sugarloaf Lake or Hinkle, so I doubt I'll ever be fishing on your fallen tree that you found them on...............

Good job Matt. I thought those new jigs would payoff.

Great looking jig. My Grandpa used to tie some like that. I gotta start keeping deer tails.

Awesome! I remember as a kid catching some good ones by the beaver dam in the old farm pond by the smaller boat ramp there.
