Predator1 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Hi Cody, Those WHITES sure were NICE. My partner and I were wondering where Greer's Ferry Lake was located and how do you get there from Springfield, Mo. You look to know the area pretty well. I know that is an understatement. Phil and us members are lucky to have you for your knowledge about that area. Hope we can get there in the next few days. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Charles
FishinCricket Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Well I know I ain't cody, but I can answer one question (the obvious one) Shoot straight down 65 all the way to Clinton Arkansas and then hang a left on the 16... Just keep on going until you see the water.. LOL Good luck in getting better answers, I have never been there.. But it sure look pretty. cricket.c21.com
Predator1 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks Cricket. Is that atleast a 2 hour drive? Charles

Terry Beeson Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 According to what part of GF you want to fish, you can be there in around 3 hours. I've made it in 2.5, but I tend to drive fast and know the speed traps and curves pretty well. Going down 65, your first opportunity is 16 over to the Middle Fork Little Red River arm area or down through Clinton to Choctaw and turn east on 330. Also, you could go 16 on over to Shirley, AR and try the Little Red arm. Or on to Edgemont. Actually there are TONS of places on Greers Ferry that could hold Whites.

Cody Smith Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Hey Guys, Thanks for the comments. The direction's above will get you hear and it is 3 hours from Tablerock (Branson). If your searching for our whites and hybrids I would concentrate my efforts in South Fork and Devil's Fork. There are some fish up these two arms and there are also some good ones holding in the Devil's Fork Arm out from the Sugar Creek area in the Flat. I've been at Dardanelle for the last few days getting whooped on by some of the local guys, I will be out tom. and the coming days. I'll of course report the condition's be it good or bad. Wed. of last week was my last trip out here on Greers and water temps had climbed to the upper 50's again. The Smallmouth Bite was really good so I did not get a chance to really chase the white's.... I've got a couple of client trip's on the River this Fri. and Saturday so I'll be down there some this week as well. Feel free to hollar at me while your hear and I'll do my best to put you on some fish! Good Luck and don't let the stained water from the rain we are getting damper your spirit's, those fish are ready to EAT~ Oh yeah, we have been picking up some post spawn walleye action as well, do yourself a favor and throw some jerkbaits at time's of Low light, you will still catch the whites and hybrids but have a better chance at the EYES..

grizwilson Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I go to Choctaw just south of Clinton on 65, takes me 3 hrs pulling my camping trailer with boat behind that. I take my river boat, put in at the Johnson hole access of 95 on the south fork of the Little Red, last week we caught all males, both whites and Wallye. Mostly small male whites, we did catch a few spots. Water was a bit high, showed 51 degrees up the River Thursday morning before this last front. The campground at Choctaw is pretty good, if you have a trailer take some extra boards to get level, but quiet no water on sites so have to load tanks, but they have several places to do that.

Terry Beeson Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Yep... Johnson hole. Great little arm... I've taken a few Walleye from there myself years ago. You mean they still don't have water at the sites at Choctaw? Somebody needs to complain. That is a really nice spot for camping, but the no water thing kinda spoils a lot of it... Great to sit up on the hill above the beach and observe the (ahem) wildlife sunning by the water in the summer. Aaaaahhhh... fond mammor... uh... memories....
