Started messing with the Walter’s day before yesterday. In the last 3 days I’ve caught 15 but only 1 keeper. 14” to 17 “ with lots of K’s around them.  Keeper was a 20 incher. 
Also  just some enormous bluegill.  Got on a spot up across from the ramp at Eagle Rock and I’m guessing there was a school of over 100 and they were just huge. 

25’ Dead Balls On. 

Hate to mention it but bass are on  an A-rig over the conservation piles, also a big worm. 

There is also a very good top water bite on the flat across from Haddock Creek just prior to the Arkansas state line. Nothing huge but both whites and green bass are really chasing on that flat. 
Daylight till about 9 so they’re staying up. 

Good Luck. 



 

I caught a couple trout opposite side of the ramp off a stick up with a black twitch tail minnow on a dropshot one summer, the water was hot they were only about 12ft deep or so, must have been a spring there or something, they were completely silver.
