Flippin, Arkansas, is a crappie angler's dream, thanks to its proximity to Bull Shoals Lake. This massive reservoir offers extensive habitat for crappie, including submerged timber, brush piles, and rocky bluffs. Spring is undoubtedly the peak season, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them in coves and around structure in 5-15 feet of water. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A local tip: many anglers have great success spider rigging multiple rods with different colored jigs to find what the crappie are hitting. For boat access, several marinas around Bull Shoals offer rentals and launching facilities. The crappie here tend to be good size, with many fish exceeding the 10-inch mark, making for a rewarding fishing experience.
