Northeast Arkansas _shing report

Ome Coleman at Lake Poinsett State Park said the days are getting shorter and the bait sales are slower. Coleman said he had not heard any reports this past week. Lake Poinsett is still low, so, the best place to launch is at the dam. In recent weeks, reports had crappie being caught in 8 feet of water while bream were still going after crickets.
