Greers Ferry Fishing Report 4/18/08

[Cody Smith]

Night Fishing Trip...... Turned out well. 485.80 and falling.....Yesterday afternoon, friend and client Brad West, Heber Springs, and I hit the water around dusk. The fishing started off with a bang and ended about the same. Brad boated several nice: spots, white's, walleye along with the occasional Hybrid. We focused on the mouth's of main creeks and fished 18 - 30 feet of water right on edges of deeper water and structure. Most fish came on a 4" Action grub coupled with an 1/8 or 1/4 oz. lead head jig. We boated well over 20+ fish for the evening and early night. The moon was bright and the wind settled. It was a great time to be on the water. With the rain that came in late last night and early this morning the lake should have a little color to it and really should keep fishing strong. The water temps had come up since Tuesday to reach the Upper 50's and Lower 60's. The spotted gar are making there push into the shallows getting ready for there spawn. The spot's are in definate Pre-Spawn Mode with the males feeding aggresively. The smallmouth spawn is in full swing and if you can penetrate the thick stuff you will score on the bronze backs. Walleye are finally making a feeding surge and can be picked up on there usual hard bottom next to timber and flooded bushes in 10 - 20 feet of water. Let me know if any of you would like to scheldule a trip or have any question's. Smittyc888@hotmail.com
