No secret on Greers. That's a huge recreational lake and can be quite busy with pleasure boats. It's a little over 3 hours for me so I don't fish it much in the summer. You might want to check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission website and look at the fishing reports. You will find it in there.
Greers is a clear water lake and if I were you, I'd be looking to fish the north end of the lake where the water is not gin clear.
the water is gin clear no doubt about it , we were up near fairfield bay , and it was about as warm as bathtub water .
even the shoreline sunfish were in the 20 foot deep range , never could get a crappie to find my jigs ,think they were there but didn't have time to fish it hard enough to ketch them .
smallmouth bass ,longear ,bluegill and green sunfish was all I could find to take my jigs , none in less than around 20 foot or more deep .
maybe next time i suppose :dono
I never fish deep clear lakes much . Too many people playing with boats and jet skis . Some our best hot weather fishing lakes tend to be shallow . Go figure that out . :scratchhead
they eat regardless of whether the lake is deep or shallow :RoflQuote:

same here , give me a turbid hot water shallow lake and a herd of white crappie , this is my thought as well :highfiveQuote:

I would bet so , it seemed to be a rocky deep puppy where we were and really clear .Quote:

Staples got pulled two days ago. It will be some time before I can fish again. Doc gave me the green light to take my arm out of the sling on occasion. I don't know if I will be out there before winter so go ahead and hit my brush piles. Catch a limit and you will have enough to fill a good size sardine can. But please throw the little ones (anything under 2") back for seed.
Ketchn there are some good ones in Greers too. Consider 20' as shallow and go deeper from there.
