I get confused on date and time when I get up at 0300.

HAHA, that's the first thing I though when I saw that picture. "So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverleeee.. Hills that is Movie stars, swimming pools.."

May have seen you fishing Emerald beach as we went by later in the morning.

Fished with my buddy Jeb today, still having to work to catch fish. We launched at 0530 and motored up to a cove with trees and threw the jigs and some plastics around, I think we got 4 doing that. Fished a couple of rocky points and a brush pile, nothing doing there so we decided to head up to the Kings. We fished several spots on the Kings and only got one bass up there, so back up the White channel we went. We did some drop shot fishing on a couple of gravel points, had some success doing that, mostly smaller fish in the 10-13" range. Fish were 15-25 feet deep, biting cut tail and finesse worms in watermelon and purple. Fished a few rocky points on cove mouths, found one that gave us a few more fish on C-rigged worms and Speed Craws. Last fish of the day was a keeper walleye caught by Jeb. We finished with about 20 bass to the boat, maybe 4 were keepers, nothing over 2 lbs. Water temp was 80.

Cool, I'll be interested to hear how you do, picked one up on the drop shot today that was big enough to fillet.

You'd think there would be some getting fat up the river eating rainbows.

Nice!

No weed guard, yep that is a show stopper for me.

I wonder if those Z-man shroom heads have a good quality hook.

I need to get down there and check it out.

So did you do any good back in the day on Shepherd Springs?

No wake boats - I like it!

Wuh-oh. Good luck with that.

I fished that lake about 4 years ago one day. Caught a bunch of small spotted bass and that was it. I've been meaning to go back one of these days, just haven't done it. Lots of deep, flooded timber on the east side of the lake, sure looks fishy.

I'd need a few belts of sake before trying that one.

Been thinking about doing some drop shotting around the mouth of the Kings, only problem is that is a very popular area for wake boats.

Some good fishing for sure.

I was looking at the AGFC weekly newsletter which contains fish stocking information for June. They stocked 9,800 walleye fingerlings in Lake Fort Smith. Hard to know how it will turn out, but something you walleye chasers may want to keep in the back of your mind. Beaver received 166,945 striper fingerlings.

Good deal.

Thanks for the info.

Welcome!

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I doubted you, I was just wondering why they are there.

I'm a little jealous myself, and I'm not a walleye fisher.

"Whine-Right" - That's a good one!

Used to be a school there. Don't know about the rocking horses however.
