It is illegal to sell live shad in Arkansas, it is also illegal to transport shad from one lake to another so you must catch shad in the lake they are being used.

There are usually alot of flyers at Hook, Line and sinker in Rogers.

Thank you for passing this information on to us. As of yesterday, Highway Police officers will be more prevalent in the area to ensure this is not an ongoing issue. In addition, ArDOT Engineers are inspecting the bridge to ensure it did not sustain any damage which would make it unsafe for motorist. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to make sure we were aware, we do care about public safety and protecting our State’s infrastructure. Regards, Chief Jay Thompson Arkansas Highway Police

If you can get the plates of that bus someone needs to inform Highway patrol, that is a DOT violation that needs reported.

It is not really, but it gets attention. Clear water does not always mean good drinking water and muddy water does not always mean bad drinking water. I don't like to drink water with high lead or arsenic content and most filters don't remove those chemicals, but dirt is easy to remove. It just depends on what the dirt contained and if it dissolves into the water. I remember some very clear lakes in upstate NY that the state would not allow swimming or boats on for decades because of mercury levels from 19th century logging. But it does confirm the more wooded areas you cut down and the more and bigger boats that run your water turns darker.due to more run off and banks being washed out by wakes. Wither or not we want to admit it or not the hydrocarbons our two stroke motors put into the water are in our morning coffee, but that cannot be measured by clearity. What can be done about that? Well take a trip to the reservoirs that provide drinking water for New York City. I have fished those and they are row boats only, no electric trolling motors even and you must have your boat steamed cleaned by the state then chain it on shore when you finish for the day. I don't see any amount of protesting or experiments turning an Arkansas lake to that but there are people who wish for that type of regulation here. I used to troll at 3 miles per hour with oars, I can't do that anymore, not for very long anyway.

That is where you lower a disk on a rope and measure how clear the water is, they usually hand them out at PC. It is never good news and with the rain it will be worse then last year no doubt. I've only lived here since 2001 and I remember catching bass at 30 feet and watching them hit the worm. But it is a scientific way of saying that the population boom was bad for the water.

I guess everyone has heard of this but I just caught on to all the construction going on. Rogers will be the first (maybe last) Cabela Bass pro combo store. http://www.nwaonline.com/news/2018/jul/17/business-news-in-brief-20150717/

Really nice boat and electronics, but you should have put back a little cash for a shirt. Maybe we can set up a go fund me site😛. Nice bass, it is not easy to find a keeper this time of year.That is why BASS and FLW start south and follow spawn north so they can fish when it is easy.

I found a bass fishing board where someone ordered 3 fish finders using paypal yesterday. Claims he can get his money back from paypal if a scam. I will be watching this one close. Sure does smell of a scam to me and cannot locate a review anywhere, seems they just popped up this week. Most of the chater I hear is you would have to be smoking something out of Colorado to trust this site.

I found this site through Instagram and they have $2,000 fish finders for $119. Seems to be out of China. Anyone know if they a real? http://ekvips.com/

Just one more win and it is over, if the Beavers win tonight we may never see Beaver anything in Arkansas again.LOL

There is no Beaver Lake for at least a week. http://www.kark.com/news/local-news/beaver-lake-renamed-omahog-lake-this-week/1262536871

Don't walk into Cabela's with one of the Shimano Rods that had a "lifetime guarantee" unless you have the receipt and purchased in the last 30 days. Lifetime means until we change our minds not YOUR lifetime. My Brand loyalty is gone, I will stick to cheapest and throw it away. Seems to be all cheap Chinese stuff anymore anyway. As far rod and reels I have to Academy brands.

Congrats on big bass and thank you for such a detailed report.

The lights seem to draw them in the later it gets. I think the live bait works better than cut bait, 3 inch sunfish are hard to beat.
