Kind of on the NW edge of it here in Bella Vista, so it has rained but not crazy amounts at least so far. Down south a bit in Bentonville they have video of a school bus that got swept into a ditch by water over the road and also some cars getting washed away. So far no fatalities thankfully.

No need to do it if they're eats blades and jigs and you're targeting bass, but if a guy just wanted to catch fish, I bet a redworm on a drop shot fished where those worms are popping out would keep a guy pretty busy.

I bet you have some rigs that will imitate the little worm.

Let us hope. In the meantime however, if you have some spare time, might be a good idea to tie on some marker buoys to your favorite concrete picnic tables.

We've tried to point out the benefits of fishing in the dry months of August and September, but he's not falling for it.

Break out the spinnerbaits! A few weeks ago I had one of the best spinnerbait bites I've ever had on one of the BV lakes in the aftermath of a heavy rain that dirtied up one of the coves. Got back out there the next day all fired up to do it again, water had cleared a bit and could not get one bite on the SB. If I can get to the ramp tomorrow I'm going to try it again. Dunno if the bass will move back in there again as they are in a sort of almost ready to spawn mode, but I will have to give it a try.

The "We're saving the bass" argument is weak, very weak. Why not just say that they're a bunch of guys that like to go out at night and shoot fish?

Congrats, and some species I have never heard of. That blue-spotted sunfish is pretty neat looking.

I've seen some of your pics on another forum where you've caught some impressive bass on swimmers.

Love those fat spots!

Interesting, paying over a thousand bucks for a lure you don't expect to catch fish on. 😄

Good deal, would like to get out on Beaver myself, but as you noted this dang wind just keeps blowing.

I lived in the Boston area in the glory days of the Big East. John Thompson, Rollie Massimino, Louie Carneseca, PJ Carlisimo, Jim Boeheim, Gary Williams, the UCONN guy whose name I can't remember - anyway, that league was crawling with great coaches and players.

Man, I guess I have never seen that side of Jimmy, but have never met him in person, just what I see on TV. I don't know how that guy has kept his face from being burned off, never have seen him with a hat on while fishing, he sure likes to show off that bowl haircut he has. Guess it's his signature thing, that haircut.

I've been watching Honey Hole Outdoors hosted by Bill Wilcox. He mostly fishes Texas lakes, fishes in ways I like to fish except that he is not a finesse guy. He has done a show on Table Rock where he didn't so very well, and is saw his name pop up in the standings on the lasted TR Big Bass deal so it would not surprise me if he filmed it. For years he had been sponsored by BPS, he'd give an overview of the show where he'd be sitting in a BPS store and he'd fish out of a Nitro. This year he's in his garage or at the ramp, and he is in a Phoenix. This weeks show he took a swim, looks like he was hung up on something so he steps in front of the graphs on the bow, loses his balance and falls right in. Fortunately it was in a warm-water powerplant lake, but the air temps were cold. He also had a cameraman to help him get back in the boat. They went back to the truck, changed into some dry clothes, and went back to fishing.

Yeah I can't eat fish every day, for every meal. I think most of us, if we wanted to, could fill the a couple of freezers with fish.

That is a great day, congrats1

Same buddy that killed them a couple of days ago had a very tough day yesterday. They would not touch a crank. Fog and no wind early.

Hey I picked the winner! Unfortunately my other 4 guys didn't do any good.

On light tackle I bet those 20 lbers would be a hoot.
