I was down there Sunday morning and never had a bite. There were a few chasing shad but were clear out in the center of the river, no way to reach them. Glad to see you had a good time and caught some fish.

Trolling?

Only pattern we found was tight line, no float and hold the minnow as steady as you could close to the tree. Hedge and the real branchy oaks were best. Dad had a slip float on and just the wave action seemed to move the minnow too much. I use the knot portion only of a bobber stop, just as a reference, hold it at water line.

I have trolled with 14# Fireline for several years now, no issues at all.

Caught these on Truman yesterday, 2 of us had 28.

Okay thanks. I will look at the starter again and see if it looks like the spring and gear can come off if a keeper is not on there.

J40ELERE Hope there is no next time. Never even looked at the top of the starter before I pecked with the 9/16" wrench that I was checking the battery connections with.

Went out and tried to crank the boat tonight, dead battery but starter hung. When I opened the lid up and noticed the gear was hung I tapped on top of the drive with an end wrench, big mistake as I broke the plastic/phenolic cap on the drive. Does this hurt much for the short term and can it be replaced without a starter rebuild?

Hickory Hollow.

They were way up on the Arkansas side of the Kings river last weekend. Maybe 5 miles or so up there. I would bet those fish layed eggs this week.

Wheaties, make a dough with either strawberry soda or water. Build a ball on a treble hook and hold on.

Nobody is giving advice so that must mean the fishing is so good that its a secret. Probably start off searching with Flicker Shads and then dead drift or jig minnows. I was hoping to find some eyes that far down the lake. Have to wait a week to see.

Good thing because there is a large supply of Flicker Shad in the boat and a bunch of sassy shad. Hoping rains aren't too heavy before we hit it and the bride can enjoy 3 days of fishing.

We will be staying at Hickory Hollow in a couple of weeks and am wondering what to expect of the fishing around the Kings River area? Hoping to hit either crappie or walleye at that time. Wondering what the best baits or lures may be. I am able to set up for trolling either crankbaits or spinner rigs for eyes or anything for the crappies. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks and tight lines.

Ok from what research I had done I was thinking it was going to be easy but became confused because had heard about plugging in to the control panel on some engines. Digital tach is tach only and no SC. If you do have a tach that works and are interested in selling it Imay be interested in purchasing it. PM me please.
