Fishing Ruark West This Weekend

[binman]

Went camping this week end at Ruark West did a little crappie fishing Fri night did good on shiners in 15-35 ft off secondary points (mainly power line cove) also did real good on white bass and crappie in the Cedar Ridge area in 15-30 ft off main lake points fish were nailing the shiner at about 5-8 ft mostly whites and short crappie had lots of bait fish around the boat at Cedar Ridge with the lights but few and far between at Power Line bite was alot better at power line with more keeper crappie.Cat fishing was good ran jug lines caught some real nice cats Sat morning after the crappie Tournament they bit real good until 6:00 am then I left when it slowed down. Did bass fish Ruark West Saturday in the middle of the day caught 11 keepers off one bank in about 1-6 ft flippin the tree's had a toad going almost 7 it was real close also most fish were keepers that averaged 17 in. Only had 4 shorts got to hit them coves hard all the way to the back it gets a little rough but well worth getting in there. Was a good fishing trip in my opinion one of the best week ends in a while. The river and creek areas are really dirty looks like choclate milk main lake was not too awful bad but stained none the less.Did however notice that there was a ton of debris floating at Cedar Ridge and I am not talking about twigs I mean big butt logs so watch it at night or bring an extra prop.Good Luck and tight lines.
