  1. Keeps moving east... but still I don't trust it. Still nervous. Bought plywood at Lowe's tonight... and a lot of caulk.
  2. Check out the rain forecast for Tuesday... if they get that rain, they'll let loose of water and no way you'll get on that river. Keep it in mind... not saying to change your plans. But the rain forecast looks pretty ominous.
  3. My point - why just stripers?
  4. It is trending east... that's huge for us. But Bull Shoals and the White River... not good. I hope they can stay on top of it.
  5. So no stocking of fish of any kind in Arkansas... wow
  6. I saw your comment and thought - oh my it's really getting out of hand. Then I see you're talking about a movie.
  7. I pinned this topic so that everybody can chime in with info on ramps. I'll leave this pinned until the lake starts dropping.
  8. There's a couple of topics on the subject. If those don't help, be more specific to where you want to go on TR.
  9. Plus the front half of the rails are too low. I need higher rails for a rental. So we'll replace all that.
  10. Yes. The doors are good but the side frames are pretty beat up.
  11. We were trying to figure what that would look like. Sounds interesting. We're going to have the rails custom built by a guy here in town. Add clips to the rails and install barn wood for side panels. Yes it will have a hillbilly feel to it.
  12. Do you have any pictures of the toolbox console? Sounds interesting.
  13. Been hearing stories about how great the fishing is below PS even with the high water levels. Even fishing off the bank... bid drum, trout, some walleye. Some boats are launching but not sure where. If some of you have been, let us know where to launch.
  14. Peg the bead with a toothpick. Easy. We do it all the time in AK. You can peg a bead 2 inches from a bare hook and catch fish.
  15. It was an old 1990 Generation, 24 foot pontoon we bought new. Been sitting for awhile. Stripped it down to the frame. We’re talking to a welder here about building custom rails for it. Center console with livewell built in. Rest of it may be open floor. Want to put movable chairs in it. We’ll call it the Trout Machine.
  16. I took some pics yesterday after I started removing the floor. I didn't think about documenting it till then - but it's a good idea. I'll start the thread now.
  17. Where did you buy components? Want to put a center console in it.
  18. It had 5/8 in plywood on it. That might be tough to find in treated.
  19. well, get ready for more water!!!!! Just kidding. They're shutting back flows at all the dams. Beaver shut down yesterday. We've shut down this morning. Holding all lakes at flood pool until the next deluge.... which may be coming next week. Cristobal!
  20. What pits are you fishing? I wish I would have taken advantage of the pits growing up there. We did a Boy Scout camp out once somewhere in the pits -- couldn't tell you where. Went snake hunting with a friend once. Just didn't take the time to learn about them.
  21. Anybody have any experience in completely rebuilding a pontoon? I have an old 24-foot Generation that I've dismantled down to the pontoon frame. Want to add a new deck, rails - basically everything. I see pontoon part sites on the internet.... looking for may be more local dealers I can work with. Any suggestions. Thanks
  22. Yep... there it is
  23. I saw that model here the other day and was wondering. I see that also in the 7 day NOAA model starting to move this way. Not sure why some forecasts say below normal rainfall in June for us... goes to show it changes daily. Yeah they could keep dumping what they're moving now till June 12 and still we may be in trouble if this moves up through us. There's a lot of water in the gulf right now.
  24. I’m looking at my Corps App, the lake forecast section, and noting Beaver Dam is now shut down, it looks like Table Rock and Bull Shoals will shut down to later this week. It appears they are going to hold these lakes at flood pool. I see the forecast for the lower White River will decrease quite a bit starting Thursday. The only way that happens is if they stop the flow at BS. i thought we’d see this flow for much of the summer. We’ll see it at some point but not for a while. Long range 30 day forecast is foot below average rain fall. Hope that holds!!
