Looking for any river crappie fishermen that could help locate some decent places to pick up a few slabs. We fished the bayou and caught only dinks. That's the longest bayou I've ever fished. Also fished the small lake north of Forsthe park and got one descent fish @ 1.75. New to the area and trying to find a pattern for colors/locations. Any help would be appreciated.
Ouachita tournament is coming up, it's hush time.Quote:

You can catch them in the lakes this time of year but I prefer to fish the treetops on the river itself. Not all are created equal. Try them til you find a pattern If you go on a weekend, the boat traffic picks up after 10 amQuote:

Try some of the tops on the bayou between the river and the bridge. There should still be some in there.
Thanks ark, will give it a try and what colors would you suggest.
Guess I'll have to wait till after the ACT tourney to get some tight lip locals to give up some info.
Keep waitingQuote:

Well it looks like the ACT tourney is over. Any locals (or travelers) want to bring out some locations and colors. Just looking for some keepers to cook on the barbey.
I have never fished it Myself but Early in the year the Black Crappie bite good in Black Lake just off Hwy 165 just north of the Wildlife & Fisheries office.. there is a Restriction on the Motor size, I think it is 40 HP --- A shallow lake with Cypress
Unless you're running live scope the river bite has been really tuff for at least 2 months now

Yes 20watt, using the Livescope and picking a few up in the D'arbonne bayou off the main river. Hopefully this tropical storm won't dump a lot of rain here. Brown/orange seems to be working. What other colors are good??
Anything with orange tail is good, silver and chartreuse, gold and chartreuse are all winnersSent from my SM-G973U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:
