Fishing Tip: When cold fronts blast the area, the bite gets very tough. Sometimes Kentucky bass are the best way to salvage a day. Look for concentrations of baitfish in your depth finder around deep water structure. Work a spoon, finesse worm or drop-shot worm right below the school for the Kentuckies. It’s not uncommon to pull up a walleye, white bass or striper when working the baitfish as well.

: Bates Field and Stream said the water is very low, but you can still launch a boat at Adams Lake Landing and Gold Creek Landing. Bream are biting fairly well wherever you can find deep water. Bass are biting fairly well on bloodline, firetiger and camo-colored soft-plastics and light-colored buzzbaits early in the morning. Catfishing is good on stinkbait and dip bait.
HOT SPRINGS - Largemouth bass fingerlings are more than doubling in size at the Lake Ouachita Nursery Pond, enabling the AGFC to stock bigger, healthier fish into one of Arkansas’s premiere game-fishing lakes.
Assistant District Fisheries Biologist Brett Hobbs said the growth of this year’s batch was especially impressive.
“These 40,000 largemouth bass fingerlings averaged about two inches when they came to us from Joe Hogan Hatchery at Lonoke in May. After 37 days in the nursery pond the average was up to five inches. That much of an increase is excellent growth,” Hobbs said.
