Did real well at the mouth of Roaring River with a tiny torpedo catching a lot of 14 inchers but no keepers. Then they started to chase the balls of shad out in about 20 - 26 ft of water. Caught them on a pop r and a crank bait. Still no keepers. When that bite stopped I started fishing a jig around docks and lay downs and stumps. Lost a realy nice one on the first jig bite. It wrapped me on the stupid cross bar of a boat slip. I had quite a few on the jig but all were close but no cigar on the keeper part of it.
I caught a 40# flat on a power worm, in a bass tournament on Lake Fork, TX several years ago (when I lived there). I kept it tied to the side of my boat. When it was time for weigh in it went water skiing with me. I won the bass tourney and had some nice catfish steaks to boot.
I was at a Kroger store several years ago ( don"t have one where I live). They had a Kroger brand garlic spray like Pam. It was less than $2 each so I grabbed all 5 they had on the shelf. It works just as good as the Bang stuff and much cheaper. I also like anise...another reason why I like Net Baits
What an idiot! I wander how many years he has been fishing with out a license. He also got fined forfishing without a license. Serves him right to not get the record!
Fished beaver Sat. Was going to stay until the traffic got bad. Was just about to call it quits when it started raining and most people got off the water. I wound up fishing till 6. Beaver doesn't get as bad as TR but also doesn't fish quite as good.
Went out Friday evening. Where are the bigger fish? Was on the water from 6:15 to 12:00. We fished the Kings/White points by the camp. Caught some in 10 ft of water and some in 20. Most of what we caught was right near a steep drop or ledge. Nothing big and had maybe two or three keepers. Not a great night of fishing but the evening was beautiful with the moon, little breeze and night critter sounds.
Glad his injuries weren't life threatening and he will be OK. I am sure he is a veteran boater. One error almost cost him dearly. Makes you think. We all have those moments-- boating , on the road or what ever. Thank God for life vests and kill switches!
Love the picture!
I am fishing a little crappie torn with my 6yr old daughter Sat. Long creek area. It is for her 4-H club. What were you using? Hopefully I will get a few pictures and some great memories. I hope she has some great memories too. She loves to fish. Hopefully she can last several hours.
Great fish! I have a replica of my 10.62 pounder from Lake Fork. They can really do a great job on them. It should look good a lot longer than a real one in my opinion plus the real one will hopefully be spawning for years to come.

I am going to fish a little crappie tournament with my daughter. She is 6 and it is a fund raiser for her 4-H club. The tourn. is out of Cricket Creek. Are the crappie up shalow yet? like 5 - 10 foot? In trees? What are they hitting on the best. They are allowing live bait for this one. I haven't crappie fished in about 10 years so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Becky
Thanks guys! hopefully this will help me out! Yes, it is snowing here in NW Ark as well. Had a beautiful day on Table Rock with several nice ones on jerk baits and now it has been snowing since yesterday afternoon.
So I would fish it much like the Rock it sounds like.
I have never fished grand and have a small bass tournament there in a month. Any one got any suggestions on areas to fish. Probably spawning then? What kind of cover is on this lake? Does it get real muddy with rain or is it just parts of the lake that get muddy? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Becky
Thanks duckydoty. Helpfull info for some one who knows nothing about them. The way you describe the meat makes me want to taste it. Maybe some day I will.

I don't know anything about spoonbills so I have a few questions. What do they eat? What do they taste like? How do you cook them? How big can they get? You snag them because they don't eat anything you can put on a hook? How do you snag them?
