Even blind fish can find it. Nice bunch of bass there!

Man, it is up for sure. Here's the link, they show about a 10 second shot. http://www.weather.com/storms/severe/news/flash-flooding-july-south-midwest

Rained hard here in Bella Vista this morning, and from the forecast (assuming they get it right), it's just round one.

I'm starting to think about that, except going very early in the morning to get a couple of hours of pre-dawn fishing in.

Thanks for the report, water sure is a different color by the dam than it is up the White.

Did not know the Kenai was closed. When I lived in Seattle it was a popular destination, one of the few places that gave you a shot at a 50 lb. or more king.

Only heard one blasting music, hard to hear the music over all the engine noise.

I'd rather have sockeye, but kings are pretty darn good.

Caught some drop shot fish, all spots, and picked up a few on jigs off the steep banks. Maybe 2or 3 of the spots would have been keepers. Super Happy Crazy Time started about 9 AM today, with that and a stiff breeze, made it hard for me to stay in the main channel. Caught 14 total, water is murky, 2-4 feet of viz, temp 82-83.

Excellent!

I'm in with the 5-6 PM timeframe.

They sure fooled me, Bella Vista fish haven't been interested in them either. Only time they have worked is when there is a top water feeding frenzy going on, but as Bill mentioned, they'll eat about anything when that happens.

I'll keep an eye out for your bait, but I'm thinking you were probably up river a ways from where I usually fish. Stinks to lose a favorite bait.

That is funny!

Don't know about Missouri, but had a buddy pulled over for no wake violation on Beaver. He got a ticket, but went to court and beat it. No Wake in Arkansas means speed less than 5 MPH (and my buddy was going slow). The officer that issued the ticket did not have a radar gun, so my buddy argued that because of that the officer couldn't have known how fast he was going. The judge agreed with him. A second factor was that the officer did not show in court.

Sockeye are tasty. Do you have a smoker going?

Saw it listed as a new product on the TW homepage. It's in stock. No, I have not purchased one, but the fingers are getting itchy. Must wait for the TW 4th of July sale....

Nice!

I like the concept, Jitterbug crossed with a jointed minnow body.

Makes me wonder if the first run of Rock Stars will have the same issue. If it goes like the Rock Crawler intro, Champ and others will clean out the shelves right away and the shelves won't be restocked for 6 months. You have to roll the dice and buy them right away if you want any.

LOL!

Here it is..

Please, no more baits...

Man arrested, accused of drunkenly crashing his boat into Prospect yard LOUISVILLE, Ky (WDRB) -- Scott Barlow, 31, was arrested Saturday night after police say he drunkenly crashed his boat into someone's yard -- and his boat was still sitting there on Tuesday afternoon. "I was shocked nobody got hurt. It was amazing they didn't hit any boats,” said Steve Draper, Harbor Master of Captain's Quarters Yacht Club. Draper says the wreck was near the marina's 'no wake zone.' That means an idle speed is required, but witnesses say Barlow was driving his boat much faster than that before be crashed. “For as far as he went, he was probably going about 35 or 40 miles an hour I bet,” said Draper. According to police, Barlow was highly intoxicated, using profanity with kids nearby and yelling at people when officers arrived on scene. He was arrested and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place and disorderly conduct. Witnesses say Barlow was causing a scene long before the wreck. They sent us video that shows a man they say is Barlow pulling down his pants and mooning people as he drove by the marina. Barlow works for a local insurance company. On his bio page, it says he enjoys boating in his free time. Draper is just glad no one got hurt. “He could have hurt someone real bad or done some damage to these million dollar boats out here,” he said. According to court records, Barlow has had a DUI in the past. Police say he wasn't charged with DUI in this case, because the arresting officer didn't witness the wreck. Barlow had no comment for this story and neither did his attorney.

Good deal Bo.
