Hey Gang!
Been checking out this site for a while and it seems pretty cool! I fish the pool on Lake Conway, but am looking for other surrounding areas...as it's getting a little too crowded right now! :(
Any current success stories in the 30 mile radius?
Hey SloMoJo. Welcome to the forum. I have been fishing the pool at Conway lately also and Saturday was one of the busiest days yet. I'm now calling it the parking lot instead. :D
Welcome to the site from lower Arkansas.
Join us the 23rd. There are about 15 or so more boats that will be in there.

Welcome to the board Slomo. Hope you can join us on the 23rd. I think you will find a number of folks with some info on other fishin holes within your area. I know CEB and others do well on the lil Maumelle.
If you think the crowd is bad ON the pond just think what it looks like IN the pond to the fish?
Welcome aboard.
welcome
Welcome from Batesville.
Just make sure you go when it's raining...don't have to worry about the crowd then...:D
I've caught lots of crappie in the Little Maumelle. I mainly fish the downstream end of it around the mouth. We have several brushpiles in that stretch of river. LRJOE catches a bunch up at the very upper end as well. Not any recent reports, but may have one soon.
Fished a few holes on Conway last Saturday and it was bad slow. It was also bad cold. We were jigging and not using minnows if that's of any help to ya.
I fish my Pop-in-Law's lake, Indianhead here in Sherwood and we usually catch a good mess of crappie out of it every spring and summer, but it's still bad slow right now too. It'll have to warm up a bit more before the bite turns on real good.
Welcome to the board. Lots of good info on here.
And for all you guys fishing on these Saturdays, if you need a boat filler (extra limit) I'm up for it.
I have no boat and no friends with a boat so my fishing is limited, but I'm always for meeting new people and taking advantage of them! :D
Welcome from Little Rock. Like CEB said, I do fish the Little Maumelle upstream. The water has been really screwed up with the rain on the Little Maumelle. If the AR River is high and they have the gates open at the Big Dam Bridge, it sucks the water out of LMR. With all the rain we have had, I don't see the LMR calming down for a couple of weeks.
You can get to the lake in The Ranch subdivision from the LMR. That thing has some HUGE crappie in it. Also the finger off of the LMR that leads to the ranch has some nice crappie in it. The finger that runs behind the Blue Bird Soccer fields (the horse ranch as you cross the tracks on the left before you cross the road bridge on the LMR) has some good fishing. Look out for the big gator back there. There is a big pool right off the dock at the soccer fields. Before you go into that finger there are a bunch of cypress trees with numbers marked on them. Come March / April you will be able to catch 2-3 fish around each one of them.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for all the replies!!!
I'd like to hang out with ya'll on the 23...but headed to Hot Springs that weekend. I'm sure we will other chances in the next few months as this is the best time of year to be a crappie fisherman!
ceb & LRJoe1...thanks for the tips about LMR. I have catfished around there...caught some really nice ones!!! It's about like anywhere else, you do some work and set tops out...then you have a place to fish!
