I just fish the White river channel so that's about the only thing I can recommend.

I hate thieves, and I agree, keep an eye out for yourself and your fellow fishermen.

It seems the better quality smallies come from down lake. I would think that it would be better fishing for smallies in the river arms, but it doesn't seem to be that way. Only reason I can think of is that the smallies do better in the clear water down lake. Not that I'm an expert, just thinking out loud (via keyboard).

Are you fishing for bass? Is the Viney public use area (on the White river channel) further than you want to drive? Viney has quite a bit of fishable shoreline, the area around the ramp can be good, as is the point. If it was me, I'd try a Carolina rig and fish it out as far as I could cast it and drag it in on the bottom, and tip it with a Trick worm or a craw like a Zoom Ultravibe Speed craw. I'd also try a football jig and have a top water on hand just in case a top water bite breaks out.

And the Pats are in a very weak division.

Well this week they are playing the Titans in Tennessee, Titans have a tough defence, but with Locker hurt their offense won't scare anyone. As long as KC doesn't commit a lot of turnovers, they should win this one.

Glad to hear the ramps are open.

Yeah I wonder if the ranger will go knocking on campers doors telling them to get out. Closed bathrooms could lead to brown trout being released in the woods (watch where you step).

That's a good point, I can't see them closing access to the marinas, for example PC.

I saw that, I believe their reasoning is that Brady, just speaking of this year BTW, has 2nd class receivers to work with compared to what Manning has.

I was thinking of going over to Big M tomorrow, you'd think that I would stay open as that is the access to the marina as well as the camp ground and launch.

I was concerned what effect the possible shutdown will have on COE launches, I called the Rogers AR office and the person there told me they will close the parks if the shutdown goes into effect. Rangers will go out tomorrow morning and barricade the park entrances. This is what I am told, if you have questions, you should call the Corps.

After posting this, I thought, why not call them and find out? Anyway, called the Rogers AR office and the person there told me they will close the parks if the shutdown goes into effect. Rangers will go out tomorrow morning and barricade the park entrances. This is what I am told, if you have questions, you should call the Corps. I guess it's possible the region that handles Table Rock could take a different course.

Curious if the government shutdown will effect COE launches?

No, unfortunately not.

War Eagle mouse color is very popular on Table Rock and Beaver.

My other choice was the Steelers vs Vikings in London. 2 teams I could care less about, except that I have LeVeon Bell on one of my fantasy teams, he scored 2 TD's, unfortunately he was on my bench. Grrr......

Yeah I didn't see them yesterday, for some reason the regional game shown here in NWA was the Houston vs Seattle game. KC is by far the closest NFL team to us, you'd think every game would be televised here.

Is it suitable for a bass boat? Is there decent smallie fishing during the day? Thanks for your answers, hopefully I'm not bugging you asking these questions.

Great pics, great report, thanks!

Some nice looking fish, thanks for the report!

Chiefs pulled off another one, but this was an expected win. Giants have completely fallen apart.

We got bites from 3 feet out to 25 feet. Shallow bites were in a cove that had really stained water and wind on the bank, but other than that, bites were 10-25 FOW.

Some nice kings you have there! I've though about doing a trip up there one of these days. Did you catch any trolling or was it all cast and retrieve?

I watched the LSU - Georgia game and the Arkansas - A&M game yesterday. Didn't see much in the way of good defence in those games. Arkansas hung in there with A&M, it was an entertaining game. I don't know what to make of these high scoring games, are defenses that bad, or have the offenses become that much better? Saw some pretty good QB play from the LSU and Georgia QB's, of course Manziel also played well. Manziel is so darned elusive, the Hog linemen often got penetration and had shots at him, but he's just too quick for them to sack. Mizzou is going to have a tough time at Georgia in 2 weeks, that's when you'll get a chance to really see what kind of team Mizzou is.
