It had been since last year that i went down to goose creek so i headed down this morning and saw lots of largemouth in the 1lb. range cruising the banks... there were LOTS of minnows up in the rocks... managed to catch 1 largemouth close to 1lb... and a very nice smallie, prob weighed about 1.5lbs... what a great fight... that made my day

That's a nice smallie at a close by place. I caught a few smallies on the fly rod there last year....lots of fun!

What access point are you using to fish Goose Creek? Are there any bank fishing areas there?

i go right across from the golf course and you can climb over rocks and stuff to fish off the banks.

the smallie fishing has been great on goose over the last week... managed to catch 13 on thursday with most being between 7"-10" the two biggest being 1.5 lbs... did lose one that was closer to 2lbs and i saw a few greenies that were well over 2 lbs crusing above the falls
also caught this 2lb smallie early last week by the riverside pkwy bridge that must have jumped at least 3 -4 feet out of the water... wish i had that action shot!!
i will be making a few trips down in the evening later this week so if anyone would like to join me, send me an email the day before and we can hook up
i suggest throwing a super fluke in arkansas shiner with/without a weighted hook... fish it with a lot of force... lots of quick quick jerks and don't stop it... probably looks like i'm having a seizure but those smallies can't stand that crazy erratic retrieve

That's tempting!! You going Tuesday PM?
Paul Kordon (BassMasterP) goes down there a lot and I went with him once last year. There was almost no water but we still caught 'em.
Those are nice fish!!

I would love to catch some smallies! When do you usually go?

Nice smallies! Do you think there would be any spots suitable for a fly rod?

I have fished there with a fly rod, plenty of room on some of the the banks and better if you wade!

Did you catch that huge one above or below the bank? I would love to go Tuesday P.M.

to anyone who ventures out, i suggest hanging out and not fishing for 5-10 minutes and try to locate the schools of minnows... u can watch for them being chased and jumping or throw a bait out and reel it in super quick to make em scatter and jump... once you find the minnows, those smallies aren't far behind
