: Horseshoe Lake: Kent Williams of Oxbow Guide Service (870-278-7978) said he water temperature continues to fluctuate with the passing cold fronts. Last Friday, surface temperatures were 59.5-61.5 and Monday they were 64. The biggest story with the Crappie report is the wind. Southwest winds most days have made boat control difficult to stay on the fish. Friday, we caught crappie in 24 feet of water in the 10-14 foot range with a mixture of male and female fish. Monday fish were in 3-7 feet of water and those were predominantly males. Blue/white and olive/brown jigs did well both days. The water is still low, so look for spawning fish in the not-so-common areas in the next few weeks. No report on largemouth bass. Catfishing has been good for people setting limb lines and yo-yos at night baited with nightcrawlers. No report on bream. Reported by: Arkansas F&G |
