    It’s a nice enough lake, but you’ve got lots of stuff as Good or better closer. I have wanderlust worst than most and I’m not going back down there to fish any time soon. IF I were you, I would definitely try to find recent fishing reports from Ouachita online. Striper fishing can be good. All three bass in good numbers. Walleye. Crappie. catfish. Panfish. It’s pretty and has lots of islands.

    You might try watching the Classifieds on Baxter Bulletin online too. I’ll keep my eyes open for you. I saw several today, but not sure how easy it will be to find a 48 inch bottom boat though.

    Yo Pete lots of 18-25 inch Browns and way more >15 inch Rainbows. The new regs are WORKING Bigly.

    Hey guys I wanted to let you know there is new walk in access to the White River in Cotter just above Roundhouse Shoals. One of these days when there are washable water levels again, it might be really handy for some of us. Three distinct trails down to the water with nice steps. Good parking lot. A couple of picnic tables. And there is also the access down near the water treatment plant. I appreciate AGFC, Trout Unlimited, Federation of Flyfishers, and the City of Cotter for getting this done. I hope they are able to provide more accesses like this one in the future.

    D*** things are everywhere. Decide what you are looking for (length, width, year model range) and place an ad on Craig’s List, OA, Baxter Bulletin, and Harrison paper. You should get multiple offers. if you were local, I’d say drive around and look for negelected ones in ppl’s yards, carry a few $100 bills and drag home your “new” boat.

    Bull might be tough when the water temp is < 40 degrees and during the summer, but March thru June is great and mid October thru mid Jan is pretty darn good too. Hiring a guide in the different seasons is a Great idea

    You shouldn’t have any trouble. Excellent part of the lake. Man.....I’m a BassCat guy. I’d say Pantera 2 or Cougar, but that’s just me. Lots of boats will work.

    Well John IF I was left to my own devices, I would have caught an even 100 before moving on to the next group of desirables. I kinda pushed on the acceptable boundaries as it was. I have now gotten another nick name. Halibut Ham because I got lucky and caught a bunch and because that Big One kicked my butt so hard.

    A lot of ppl tell me “ at so and so place you can catch all the fish you want”. My response is “that’s a really big number for me”. well... with Black Rock Fish I could catch all I wanted. Rocky Points with Kelp. Loaded with them. I swear more than you can imagine. To say they are willing biters is a vast understatement.

    We got the two salmon Godfrey needed to finish his limit this morning. Did a little boat tour and whale watching before heading in. Waiting to board helicopter back to Masset.

    If you go hungry here, that’s your fault. I can explain how much food is available. Breakfast, Lunch, and Supper of course. Then a pastry bar. Daily soups that you can take in boat or get when the safety boat checks on you. Sandwiches, sausage sticks, cheese, veggie snacks, fresh fruit, and yogurt cups. Sodas, canned tea, or fruit drinks. Of course, coffee or Hot Chocolate. its crazy good. .

    Another fun afternoon on the water. We had some more heartache with lost King Salmon, but I got my second Ling cod. About 8 lbs. a million more black rockfish ( hands were literally bleeding from catching them). Added Copper Rockfish to the tally. My buddy caught a China, but I didn’t. The other guys that made the trip with us caught Yellow Eye. Which hurt my feelings a little.

    So far today, Coho’s , Kings, Ling Cod, Quillback, Halibut, and Black Rockfish.

    Super Excited! Got my Last Two King Salmon. Lost what I think was a mid teen King to a freaking Sea Lion. Godfrey and I were doubled up on Salmon and they we were doubled up on Sea Lions! That sucks.
  21. Ham
    You and I certainly would John. I have areas where I can catch a Black Rockfish nearly every cast. I can’t get them off the Salmon to go abuse them. got on an acre of needlefish. Tried 4 different baits and never even bumped into one.
  22. Ham
    So you are allowed to keep up to 8 Salmon, but only 4 can be Kings and only 2 Kings per day. I was in a hole, but dug myself out today very late in the day. I got 2 today. I still have an opportunity to get 4 King Salmon to bring home. 2 Down and 2 to Go

    My Buddy Lincoln Godfrey introduces me to this Lodge. I think this was his 11 th trip up here.
  24. Ham
