New guy from ARK.

Hey fellers...... new guy here on posting but I've been hangin around for awhile reading all the great Crappie fishin talk.

Darryl Morris & Jerry Blake told me about this great website last spring when I was down there for the media outing crappie fishing filming thing. I think Grubby was there too. So yall can blame those guys for inviting me here.:D ha ha

I really enjoy catfishin for big blues on the mighty Mississippi but I also love catching those big ol' slab crappie.:D

Maybe I'll get to meet some of yall at a get together soon.

Welcome from LR. I think that there are a few people from the Batesville area on here.

Welcome Brad. I'm kinda a newbie here too. I've found this to be a great forum. Friendly folks and great advice.

Welcome to the site Brad, from lower Arkansas.

Welcome from southwest Louisiana. I am sure you will find this is a hard site to beat! :D

Welcome, Brad. Glad you decided to join in on the crappie talkin'. Do you hunt down those ms river oxbow crappie?

welcome from conway,fun fishin!

Welcome aboard Brad.

Good to have you. I live in Batesville, moved here about a year and half ago. I'm originaly from the southeast part on the state and I like fishing the Mississippi and it's oxbows too. Have you done much crappie fishing in this area or any other fishing? That's a nice cat you have a picture of, would like to get into them. There's also another fellow on here from Batesville that goes by Creekslick. We'll try to get together and go sometime.

Welcome Bard. I'm from just north of Batesville. I fish lake charles for crappie, and bass. Black River and St. Francis for cats. My largest cat on R&R is 62.5 lbs. Crappie run on the small side in charles as do the bass but their eager to bite.

thanks for all the welcome guys.

CEB.... I love to fish those oxbows that feed off the Mississippi. I also spend some time up on Greers Ferry. Man talk about a big change in water types.

KRAPPIE KG.... Yes, we'll have to get together and fish sometime.
I have done alot of crappie fishin around here but I find better fishin down south. That cat in my picture weighed 40. I didn't have a crappie picture to put up.

arkie55.... I fish Black river for cats too. It's close to home but tough fishin compared to the Missippy. Do you catch any good sized cats on the Black?

Yes Brad I do. My largest from Black is 62.5lbs. Several between 30 and 50, and a larger number between 20 and 30. Just stay with it and you'll find the larger ones.

Another welcome from Batesville.

I may have to come up there and fish beside ya sometime. I just can't seem to catch any gooduns in Black. 23lb Flathead is the biggest and 15lb on a blue cat.

Welcome Brad from the North Central Ozarks.

Hey Brad,
We'll try and hook up sometime this summer.

Brad,

Welcome to the site from Jonesboro. We fish a lot at Horseshoe in Hughes. I have tried the big river at osceola with no luck on the big cats. Maybe you can share some of your secrets with us.

I have not been able to go yet but plan on going this weekend. Trying to get my small boat set-up to go and have had all kinds of motor trouble for 2 months now.

Sounds like the weather is going to be great so goodluck to everyone that gets to go this weekend.
