Muddy Water

No A-rigs and 1430 at Eagle Rock COE ramp

Well now, that explains why we only caught one fish there.....seems everyone else fishes that spot to....all fished out!

About 30 minutes depending on how fast you drive

COE ramp at Eagle Rock

see my pics of Eagle Rock Marina in Storm post.....Holiday Island is probably about the same situation

Eagle Rock COE and Marina

That probably want happen any time soon....looks like it's still rising

A little ways up above Sweetwater......the sharp turn to the left when you're going up the river just before you get to Hickory Hollow Resort

Kings River is high, muddy and flowing pretty fast today, never seen it moving this fast. Lots of debris floating by....big stuff

No problem!

I'll be there, God willing!

The Weather Channel has been showing flooding at Roaring River and Cassville.

Not looking good and more rain headed our way. Bottom picture is from the bridge on 143

It's in the Boston mountains north of Boston, Ar..........almost 2 hours from Golden, Mo . The hike to the falls is about a half mile or so, easy hike, no major hills to go up or down Parking area: 35°53'40.3"N 93°35'05.6"W ( A lot of gravel roads to get here) http://goo.gl/maps/VGQsL

It would appear that all of us are on the wrong end of this business. I bet a .50 cent do nothing lure would still out fish it though!

Wife and I went to see the falls yesterday up the Kings River, no fishing just sight seeing.

I would like to thank Quillback again for inviting me along; I've had heart issues since last December and haven't been allowed (Wife) to fish as much as I would like too. He is a good man! Thanks again Quill for the invite and all the tips for catching fish on TR, I enjoyed every minute of it!

Right turn = Green Left turn = yellow Ground = White Tail light = brown Might would be best to run a new wiring harness from the tong back, that would correct the non standard colors. Or just do trial and error

They do make diesel outboard engines; we have one on our fast rescue boat offshore. Can't remember who makes it but I'll find out. It's tiller steered.

Might be that the guys buying the ethanol free gas do not have a need for a mechanic

I would suspect a damaged power cable since it was about an inch from the plug. Vibration can cause the wires inside the jacket to break causing what is called a hot spot. I've worked in the offshore drilling industry as an electrician and vibration is a major problem with cables. I can't count the number of times that I've had to repair or replace cables due to internal damage; the outer jacket will show no sign of damage but when you cut it open you find several conductors or all of the broken. The cable is designed to be flexed but only for X number of times. An undersized cable will typically blister the entire length of the cable when over heated. A loose connection in the plug should show discoloration on the metal tabs and the plug itself would melt. Since the breaker did not trip that leads me back to the possibility of a damaged cable; broken conductors means less amp capacity which will cause a hot spot. I would check for excessive movement in the cable when the trolling motor is being deployed or when the main motor is running, especially in choppy water. Not sure if this is what happened but it sure fits the description for what I have experienced

I see lots of debris coming down the Kings today, big stuff!

Only kept 6, I'm the only one in my house that eats fish. Now that I've got these Whites figured out you'll have to show me how to catch some of those Walleyes

Caught 20+ Whites yesterday on the Kings above the 86 bridge. All were 2 to just shy of 3 lbs and in 4 FOW. Caught'em on a modified 3 wire Yumbrella with Storm wildweye curl tail minnows attached. Caught an assortment of short green bass, loss count of how many but all together must have been around 35.
