Where are you fishing this week and or weekend??

I don't know if this will become a sticky or anything but I thought it would be neat to start...maybe clean it out every week.

I had an AWSOME time at crappie camp and really enjoyed getting to know everyone. I have read a few times that people here hope to meet up with others whenever possible. I think thats a great idea.

To help with this I thought we could put a thread on here to tell where you are fishing during the week and weekend. You don't have to post on here if you do not want to be bothered or see anyone, but I know if I were on Greeson or Dierks or something and knew another one of my crappie.com comrads was going to be fishing the same hole it would be nice to know and maybe say hi or help each other out. So if you want to, you can post on this thread to let others know you'll be fishing a certain hole if your open to maybe seeing someone. Just an idea to maybe keep in touch a bit more between crappie camps. :D Hope everyone is doing well!

I'll be the first to admit that it's going to be a while before I get out fishing again. All my fishing buddies are too tied up deer hunting and I'm too tied up working on my new boat. Well, new to me. LOL I recently inherited my grandfather's boat, so I have plenty of work to do. It's been set up for a few years, so alot has to be done. Ahh, to win a million dollars. LOL

It will be hit and miss with me but whenever I do decide to go, I will definately make a post letting ya'll know. I normally fish by myself but if another crappie.comer is there, I will definately visit for awhile with them. When I am in the boat by myself, I only have to please one person :)

I think it's a great idea.

My fall and winter crappie holes are going dry. They are draining Lake Erling down to the creek channel. I checked the boat ramp yesterday and have little chance getting in and out. They still have several more feet to draw down ,so doesn't look good for me there. I'm torn in between driving to Greeson Saturday or trying the state park @ Erling. I guess I will be looking for new places to fish this winter.

Lake Millwood here I come!!! I haven't been able to go in two weeks andam having withdrawls. Probably fri to sun. Happy Halloween to me

thinking about going to harris brake or maybe the pine bluff harbor

Headed to Twin Creeks (Ouachita) on Thursday to check out the fall frenzy progress.

Hope to see you there.

Attaboy, Jerry. Lookin' forward to an update.

And as for myself, looks like I'm headed east for the majority of the weekend...with no time to fish...:(

I'm probably headed to Greer's tomorrow or Friday....heck If I feel up to it maybe both days :D

I think I will take off friday and go to Greers. Maybe I can trick one into hitting a bandit, if not maybe that boo I droped a couple weeks ago will have a few hanging around.

Ceb,

I will be in Little Maumelle Saturday with the Kids trying to find them and Sunday as well. . Where did you have luck last week? I will be up on Harris Brake Nov 7th Weekend as well.

Think I'll head back to Black River,did real will last friday,didn't do to bad today either.While crappie fishing cought bass,bream,white bass,drum and Bowfin.Out of four bowfins one was 11 lb and the other 14 3/4 lb on 4 lb test,they made my little reel scream.

I am going to try Old River (Scott) this afternoon, adn tomorrow after squirrel hunting and scouting for deer, I might try the Crookeds in the white river NWR if there is time.

Hummm black river crappie

Nice Crappie.

No fishing this weekend for me. Don't believe Scrapper will be on the water either. Hopefully next weekend, if I can get a deer in the Sat. morning.

nope no water for me this weekend...our church has a hayride tommorrow night and tommorrow morning have to test hoses at the fire station...sunday after church working a 6yr old longhorn bull...next weekend I'll be on greeson....Lord willin'.

turtlebait
went to portia bay, didnt do well at all.
Where on black river did you put in. Only place I know of about black river is there at black rock.

Glad to see someone catching some in this part of the state. Good Job:)

I went to Shirley bay today and didn't do real at all either,matter of fact only put two in the boat.

I crappie fish black mostly up around Peach Orchard,its better crappie fishing b/c of all the shuts or pockets or what ever you want to call them.Catch them off the points leading into the pockets.

Their is a download on the net call (wind world),its one of the greatest maps on searching new fishing spots I ever seen or hunting areas.It takes a little time to learn how to look for things but after you learn you'll cann't stop looking at the new spots.You can see boat ramps and little lakes that has been hiden from us all these years.

You'll haveta excuse some of my spellings,cann't get the hang of spelling anything right but take a stab at it at times,anyway.

A little about windword if you don't already Know,it's made like the world glode and you can turn it,spend it,lay it down looking down the roads and see roads leading into alot sloughs,lakes that you never greamed they were there.
It has several enter face maps you can lay over the area your looking at,it even has a topo enter face.For the fisherman or hunter its a great tool to look over your fishing area or hunting.

Went to a private Black River lake yesterday and fished for 8.25 hours. We caught 22 crappie, mostly good sized, had 3 around 2 pounds, but it was slow.

I ain't. Working. Dadgummittttttttttttttt!:mad:

THANKS A BUNCH for the info turtlebait!!!!!
It looked as if the water was "turning" or getting ready to at portia bay...
did some evening fishing using submersible lights- NOTHIN, also threw out some juglines w/live bait thinkin MAYBE a catfish or 2 would hit.......NOTHIN

I guess better times ahead?

Its world wind not wind world.

Your welcome tommyboyrn.

Which lake did you fish blairaronld??

Went back to black river today,did pretty good.

More then likely around here most oxbows will be turning over,the rivers or bigger lakes would be better fishing.

Even tho I did pretty good today,it took all day to do it.Didn't catch hardly anything until bout 2 1/2 hours before dark.When they started hitting they hit hard with the jig stuck way back in their mouths.They were mean,running sideways,jumping like bass,zig zagging like gar and a good battle to get them to the boat.Didn't take long to get a limit when they started hitting.1/2 hour before dark they turned off as fast as they turned on,only catched two in that time frame.I fished the same area this morning and around noon only catching a few small ones and decided to give it one more try before dark,glad I did.It was gun and go,gun and go all day long,got where I didn't want to pull the T.M. up I was getting so tried of doing so but I hate for a fish to out smart me lol.

Friend wants me to go to Old Town lake in the morning,I may and may not,its a oxbow too and may be turning over too.

Thanks for info turtlebait.
I fished the evening at poinsett in harrisburg. water is clear and a prettygood lake for crappie. Heard people doing well on juglines, just might not have been my night, may have lines too deep, etc.
for night crappie, I have always heard you can do well, but I have submersible and floating lights, fished the edges of the light at varying depths w/minnows and NOTHIN. even tried changing locations around the lake to places that have structure in bout 15-19 fow in mouth of cove....nutin
im ready to catch a mess of fish.......so far they have out smarted me:(

I was at a private lake off Black River in Independence County.

Ok,I thought it may be a old oxbow off black that they called private that had a name.I know one man made lake north of Poc. that had slads for a few years when they sorta vanished.

I know alot of oxbows off black that are called private and some you cann't get to anymore b/c the roads are no longer there.I used to love going to a oxbow south of newport,the farmer let people fish it from 7am until 7pm.Now this year you no longer can fish it,its private.I can get the ok to fish it but had rather not,Like I told him if something does come up missing he could rule me out.Alot of people repected him for letting them come and go as they pleased but a few didn't.He had stealing off power units and 4wheeldrives rutting up field roads,cann't blame him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know most of you will be in the deer woods this weekend...I'll be on greeson saturday Nov. 8th I hope. Probably in the afternoon, if I get my bass boat rigged up this week. I hope I will. Probably put in at self creek and fish up in there...Going to watch temps...I hope it will get down below 65. Going to watch reports. I'll be up there in a blue Ranger 373V Bass Boat if you see me stop and say hi!

I'm going to Clear Lake Saturday with my new fishing buddy :) I've fished there a couple times and didn't have any luck but it's so close to home, and the thing is......I don't care where I go - I just want to go!!! So....wish me and Jim luck!!! If we do well...I'll post it!!!!

Fished the park on Lake Erling this morning. Caught 7, keep 5 in 2 1/2 hrs. All caught on shiners in 15ft. of water, 9ft. deep around stumps.

well I didn't make it to the lake. My boats not finished. I could've gone but I wanted it to be finished and I have had some BAD luck this past week. Didn't want to chance it. lol :o maybe this week or this coming weekend I'll get there

What a bummer on both not finished and the bad luck.But really if the unexpected didn't happen we would never have any lucky days lol.I'll never miss a planned fishing trip b/c of boat problems.Over the years I have 6 boats setting in my yard from 2 man to pro and fish out of 14Ft. jons 95% of the time.
I remmeber the first time I put the jet pump on to run shallow water,knocked two big holes in the bottom about 1/4 mile from ramp.All the way to the ramp with things starting float around in the boat I was thinking bad luck until I thought how lucky I was not being 1/2 mile from ramp lol.Use bad luck as a leaning too if you can.
Hopefully you'll make it this week unstead of next weekend,good luck.

Yeah I know...lol, I should've gone...I can be very stubborn when I have a project not finished..I was pretty put out with it last week. I know agrihawg was really wanting to go...it was a awsome weekend too...live and learn huh?? lol. I will be there bundled up sat morning on greeson. I'm wondering what the rain will do...I'm not for sure just how much we got. I know its supposed to turn off cold friday night also. Whatever the case...boat done..boat not done...I will be on Greeson Sat morning and afternoon. Again...i'll be in a blue ranger...stop and say hi if you see me. :D

DANG WEATHER!! lol...looks like may get winded out tommorrow. Trying my hand for the first time with 3-4 rods in front of me on my boat won't be much fun with 30mph gusts...just have to play it by ear. I may just have to take a personal day from school next week!! :D

Agrihawg and myself will be on Greeson saturday...probably leave from self creek ramp at 8 or so. Will be up around that area all day if anyone is around! Hope some others get to do some fishing this weekend!
