Spinner Baits
by Administrator on Apr.22, 2009, under Fishing Tips and Techniques
Blade sizes vary along with skirt colors. In the willow leaf blade, I like to fish the small to mid size in the spring when the fish are roaming in the shallow water. A chrome willow leaf and a gold Colorado are a good combination for this time of year. If the water is stained to muddy, I like to throw a solid white blade with a white skirt and a chartreuse trailer. The white blades give off a lot of flash and gold or copper is good for this kind of water. Slow rolling these baits will locate fish over and around logs in the shallow water. I like to run them over logs and let them flutter down then start up the retrieve again. Normally, the fish will hit as the bait is falling. I slow roll them around timber and stumps letting them bump into the brush. This stop and go retrieve will draw more strikes.
“Coal Pile” Dumas, AR
by Administrator on Apr.21, 2009, under Arkansas Backwaters
Coal Pile Lake, a backwater of the Arkansas River north of Dumas was acquired by AGFC last fall through negotiation with a hunting club. “Coal Pile” has a near-legendary reputation among bass fishermen and attracts ducks during the fall and winter. Some former state record largemouth bass were caught there.
Although it is closed to hunting, the lake will remain open for fishing and other recreational use. Black commented, “We need to work on getting the entrance to Coal Pile dredged out. It is dangerous now. Bass boats get up on plane and go in at 50 miles an hour if they know the exact spot to hit.”
