  1. My understanding is that the water chemistry is wrong for successful spawning of the Rainbows. Which is a shame .

    Name Your Boat

    Waldo
  3. Waldo and friends had an awesome day on the White today. Don’t sweat the high water. We’re gonna catch em.
  4. Waldo is gonna play for a little while today. Still working on the trailer set up, but I do feel obligated to fish once the boat is in the water
  5. Good News, they are slowing down Spillway releases on Norfork a little bit. Down to a more manageable 8 K. Bad News for me today , They bumped up the water on The White to 22K. Yesterday was a beautiful day and they was almost No One on the river. spillway releases should put more walleye and white bass in the White and Norfork. Bonus Fish!
  6. Great article. Ppl should always check most recent regulations if they plan to harvest fish.
  7. Eh no. Is it easier to keep a jig on bottom in a riffle or in the middle of a pool? Still water runs deep. No worries, you’ll see some of the differences btw Taney and the White River soon enough. You are correct that eddies will hold fish. That’s a plan that will work. Just don’t expect anything to be like Taney.
  8. You get that Taney is a LOT deeper than the White River below Bull Shoals. Fiah will be caught at 20K, but not near the numbers of fish we would catch at 2K-8K. I think catching 60 fish is more fun than catching 10 fish.
  9. FWIW, River at 18K at Cotter
  10. I’m starting to be concerned that this going to be what we face. I’m guessing they want Table Rock @ 915. Right down its at around 918 and running at 14K it’s going down slowly. That 14K from TR has to be surpassed by releases from Bull Shoals to move towards where they want it (likely 659). I best shot is them getting Lake Norfork down to a point they close flood gates and run 6K through generators. Geez
  11. Currently (see what I did there), they are running about 20K on the White and 10K on Norfork. That’s a lot on the White and a whole lot on Norfork. I hope they get that out of their system btw now and a week from Friday.
  12. I’ll worry about the weather on 12/12/19. Too far out for me to be concerned.
  13. Awesome! Keep that spot close to the vest.
  14. Well Bob, Its good to have options. Growing up when the Mississippi River was up most of our fishing was shut down. Nowadays, we have so much information at our fingertips and social networks to lean on to learn about other fishing opportunities. There were other places and other fish we could have pursued, but we just didn’t know where, when, and how. I hope the Spring River treats you right.
  15. Happy Thanksgiving Guys.! I look forward to seeing more of you guys soon.
  16. 10,000 CFS really slows down the catching. It’s just a lot more difficult. I still have some tricks, but it’s just a lot harder
  17. AirStreams do a great job for crappie too! I’d love for us to develop a Jigfest on a local lake. Truman maybe
  18. Give me 1500 CFS ALL DAY and will absolutely catch fish like a house on fire
  19. Hey Eric, i have some big ole articulated streamers than I rescued from trees and the shoreline that I will give you IF I can reclaim them from the mess that is my boat barn 2) I have the GPS from the brush piles AGFC put out Plus some I found in Missouri. We can try those IF lake fishing we must go
  20. Great way to get sore arms and a follow or two to talk about. #eyeroll
  21. Well, there is variability in how water is being released through the floodgates. Let’s wait and see what happens. That’s weeks away. Somebody else makes the call on a postponement of Jigfest. I won’t fish with water above 25 K on the White or 8 K on Norfork .
  22. That’s exactly what Im talking about
  23. See how much water they are running and adjust. IF they are running more than 15K, I will likely throw more jerk baits than jigs. There was 5 foot of water on top of the boat ramp parking lot at Cotter
  24. The White where I live with Flood Gates open is UNSAFE. I’m not sure here you could launch, but IMO it isn’t worth rolling the dice on your life. Did you actually see Bull Shoals Dam or Norfork Dam with the Flood Gates open? insane amounts of water. Google it. I’m sure video is out there.
  25. You can have it
