I installed software at the plant a couple of years ago, the guys there were telling me that the fishing was great. They were telling me they would only issue a limited amount of permits each day, but that became an issues as guys would reserve their spot in advance and when there day came up they would try and fish even if the wind was really bad which led to some boats getting in trouble. I guess niow it's a open to all, no reservations needed. I think the lake is managed as catch and release, or else they have a slot limit type deal, but I might be remembering wrong.

It was a beautiful day, attached a pic of my ride prior to launching at Lost Bridge North, blue skies and flat water! Fishing was a little slow for me, a couple of spots caugh on a Mcstick and one walleye that got off at the boat (lucky for him as he was frying pan material). Also I attached a pic of one of the spots, he looks a little sick, some brown goo on the dorsal fin, scrapes on both sides.

I'm got tomorrow off and trying to decide where to go, are the War Eagle/White arms looking OK? I am hoping the recent snow/rain hasn't muddied them up.
-
The only problem, according to the biologists, is that the Florida srain bass don't do well as far north as Missouri, just a little too cold for them.

We got about 8 inches in NW Arkansas, I noticed on the gauge that Beaver has come up a foot in the last few days. I'm going to try and get on the lake Friday, if I do, I'll leave a report.

I like RPS's BBQ idea, I'll be happy to show up and help out if it's a date I can make.

That looks like a Koi, those things can go for big bucks, it looks like the one of the ones shown in this (middle, top row) link, it's $200.00 for a 12 inch one. A bigun like that, who knows? The tough part would be keeping it alive and getting it to a buyer. http://www.thekoifarm.com/koiForSale.php

About the weather... Work like a dog all week, while taking note of the beautiful weather, sunny warm days. Weekend rolls around and it's cold, windy, rainy with potential snow tonight and tomorrow. This just ain't fair.
-
Thanks for the report, nice pics. I would love to be out there today, but the weather is not cooperating.
-
And the guy who said the horse is dead brought the whole topic up.
-
That's awesome! Good to see the little guy had a great day!

Tacklewarehouse.com has Vicious Floro on sale as a daily special, haven't used it myself, but I have heard others say it is good floro.

I have been looking at some crankin rods myself, tacklewarehouse has quite a selection and they have a search tool that you can use to see all the cranking sticks they have, they carry just about everything mentioned in the above posts and it's a good place to do some research even if you don't buy from them.
-
Very nice! Been lookin for one of those myself..

I have not fished crappie myself, but the fishing reports say they are in the White and War Eagle arms in the coves and pockets around laydowns and pole timber. Some reports say they are shallow 3-5 feet and some say deeper.
-
Thanks for the report, I fished a Bella Vista lake yesterday and the fish were much more active than they were a couple of weeks ago, no biguns for me, but lots of the 1 lb. size.
-
I had a good day yesterday using Bevy Shads so now they are my favorite jerkbait. I also like the IMA Flit 120's.
-
Very nice!
-
Thanks for the heads up, I have plenty of them, but I appreciate it when someone spots a good deal and lets us know about it, I almost think we should have a seperate forum for fishing tackle deals, where guys can post when they spot a good deal.
-
Thanks guys for the advice.
-
I'm with Ham, probably much ado about nothing, but we should all be vigilant on issues like this. And I think it's nearsighted to adopt a "It won't effect us locally so why worry about it" attitude.

I am looking for a thermometer that I can measure water temp with at certain depths, for example find out what the temp is 5ft down. Poking around on the internet hasn't yielded anything postive, I would like something that sinks fast and quickly gets the temp. and I could attach a line to. Anyobdy have something they can reccommend?
-
That's funny! the walleye should be on the move, I have always heard that 47 degrees is the magic number.
-
Zack - Did you see any whites at all?
-
Thanks for the advice NWA, we were wondering if they were on the beds. I had thought about the senko thing, but never got around to it, maybe next time. But I'm thinking Beaver next weekend also.
