Fishing at White Oak Lake, Arkansas
The lake has a reputation for producing big fish. A state record catfish was taken from White Oak in 1985. Big Largemouth bass exceeding eight pounds, crappie of up to three pounds and bream to 1.5 pounds are not uncommon, according to the AGFC, which attributes the numbers of large fish to a lake fertilization program. In the fall, crappie are both abundant and hefty in White Oak, as are bluegill and redear. The star of the lake is the Florida largemouth bass. The lake has given up several fish over 13 pounds – and most of these big fish are caught in the spring. Most lake veterans favor plastic worms for bass, but slow-rolled spinnerbaits and slowly worked surface lures also have accounted for some lunkers. January and February are considered the best bassing months by many local anglers. Big largemouths are usually around stick-ups, fallen timber and cypress trees on 5- to 8-foot-deep flats with deep water nearby.
