: Lake Maumelle: WestRock Landing in Roland (501-658-5598) said water has been consistently in the 85- to 87-degree range, not bad for mid-July. The largemouth bass continue to bite well. Anglers still report bass schooling in the mornings and evenings. They can be found shallow in the mornings and evenings at 2-4 feet, with others being found deeper, 12-20 feet. Try points and drop-offs, and use drop-shots, Texas-rigged worms, topwater baits, jigs and crankbaits. Spotted bass are good, too, making the black bass bite good in general. Reports have the Kentucky bass around points in 8-20 feet as well as relating to drop-offs. Use those drop-shots and crankbaits for spots, too. The black bass bite in the Tuesday night weekly tournament continues to be good for those anglers, with Cody Bryant and Brad Lequieu pulling in a 16.06-pound, five-bass stringer, edging Brad Edwards and Billy Wright, whose 15.94-pound stringer included the Big Bass of a whopping 7.26 pounds. Crappie was just fair this last week. Still hearing of crappie being found suspended around brush anywhere from 16-21 feet with decent size to them. Jigs and minnows are steadily getting their attention. Bream are good and there were reports before the full moon of them being in prespawn/spawn mode. Look for them around 6-10 feet of water as well as in shallow areas at 3-5 feet. Most of the anglers this last week were fishing in 16 feet of water and casting toward the shoreline. Anglers are using crickets, worms and drop-shots.
Catfish finally made an appearance, or at least were reported by the angers. There has been fair fishing from the shoreline with bream, liver and worms. No reports on white bass, but you can always try a twister tail to get their attention.Reported by: Arkansas F&G |
