Capt. Darryl Morris of Family Fishing Trips reported this week that he’s been out on lakes Ouachita and DeGray of late. Water temperature is key this time of year. Warm nights are our friend, but know that water temperature is still going to fluctuate.
Crappie are slowly moving up and pre-staging. White bass and hybrids are moving up the rivers and creek arms. Be safe and friendly on the water.
Earlier in February, Fish ’N Stuff in Sherwood noted the two donations to the Arkansas Legacy Lunker program—11- and 12-pounders—that were recently caught at DeGray, and has more good news on the largemouth bass fishing going on here lately.
Anglers are mainly catching largemouth on minnow-style baits with half-ounce jigheads. They are throwing these in about 15-20 feet of water.
You can also try a gizzard shad or threadfin shad pattern. Anglers are also having success throwing a three-quarter-ounce Raven Red lipless crankbait. Focus the lipless cranks anywhere you can find any live grass, or any grass at all to speak of.
