Fishing Big Rivers???

Featured Replies

Heading out tomorrow morning to do some fishing on the Arkansas River around the Willow Beach Area just south east of Little Rock/North Little Rock. 

I plan on fishing the rock jetties for the most part.  I will maily be jig fishing but I am looking for any recommendations as to anything I could add if the jig isn't working. 

Airtemp has been mid-30s for about the last 4 days and will be the same tomorrow.  40% chance of rain and it looks as if there will be a light mist most of the day and it will be overcast.  So any recommendations?  (Staying home is not an option)

I have been doing well with a black jig and blue

trailer. My other suggestion is the Sworming Hornet

with a 3 1/2" LFT Live Magic Shad.

Started with blue/black jig, 3/8 ounce with a pig trailer.  Was a little to windy today, but the fish were there.  Just couldn't get them to bite.  Also tried running a deep crank over them. 

That is the first time I had fished those jetties and I will be waiting on a calm day to return.  I haven't quite got the hang of trolling and fishing.  Although I thought I did well today.  I have only done it a hand full of times now as I have only had my boat about 2 months.  I can't wait to get back to that area when the water has fallen a little bit and when it isn't quite so windy.  Temp this morning was around 24, brrrr.....but hey, I wasn't sitting on my butt at the house!  Thanks for the advice RW, although I didn't know you had replied until after I got back today.  I did go with the blue/black jig though.  I'll have to do some checking into the other recommendation.
