    Nothing at my house, big old storm passed by just to the south.

    Michal Neal is moving up, those guys better watch out!

    Lots of worming going on, shaky and wacky.

    Just ran across this on the AGFC website. Collecting broodstock and eggs on the Kings. AGFC hatchery boosts birthrate in Arkansas walleye - News

    I know (unless things have changed recently), that AGFC no longer stocks walleye in the Kings or White. Their net sampling in the Kings and White during the spawn indicated a very strong and healthy population of fish. I don't know if MDC does any stocking.

    Did you do any good? They put way too many grass carp in that lake and those hungry suckers completely wiped out the hydrilla. Since then the bass fishing has tanked on that lake. Read that the lakes manager got clearance to plant "native vegetation" in the lake. Didn't specify what they mean by "native vegetation". Soooo, wipe out the vegetation by planting grass carp, and now restore the vegetation by replanting. 😡

    Beaver is sitting at 1129 which is 10 feet above flood pool. A couple of years ago the Corps announced they planned on keeping Beaver at no more than 1120. They were a bit concerned about the effect of the high water on the dam. They said they were doing it out of an "abundance of caution". Well here we are at 1129 and very little water release from the lake.

    LIve coverage is available on the MLF website. Something to watch if you are not out on the lake. It is the Tackle Warehouse series. I see a few locals, including McClelland. They are whacking them, you need over 17 to be in the top 20. Couple of guys with over 20. It is a big lake that flies under the radar. Locals down there may not be happy that they are getting some exsposure.

    I read it that if does not exceed 50% full then they have to follow the agreement, which means regulate it to 14 feet at the Newport gauge, maybe I am misunderstanding it. I have no idea how they measure "flood storage".

    And you were out there on a Friday. Today will be interesting. I fished for a few hours over here in Bella Vista, at least 8 boats on the small lake by the time I left.
  11. Quillback
    You've got two more days to win that boat!

    You can go to the MLF website and watch the tourney live, today through April 16. 20 lb. bag for the leader.
  13. Quillback
    Tomorrow being the 15th, if they hold to the agreement, should be a significant drop in the release.

    They will usually use cedars for brush piles. There's the latest and greatest map available somewhere on the AGFC website. I think...

    When I lived in Washington state a good friend of mine lived by the if you can make the payment, buy it philosophy. Couple of mortgages on the house too. They had lots of toys but were living on the edge. Then one day he got divorced, neither one could make the payments by themselves on anything (including the house), so they lost everything.

    Glanced at the results so far, 6.73 is the leader.

    Well the objective would be to persuade them to move out of the way so everyone can get in the water and start fishing. At worst they blow you off and everyone can sit in their trucks and wait. And the lesson those guys learn is that it is OK to block the ramp because the guys waiting don't seem to mind, and will sit in their trucks patiently waiting. And if they really are eco-conscious you could point to all the idling motors and the immense damage being caused to the planet. 😃

    Sounds like you went up Avoca.
  19. Quillback
    Congrats on some great fishing!

    Been thinking the same myself, this area is growing like crazy, all the water around here, including the Bella Vista lakes, gets pounded. Would probably end up doing a lot more trout fishing if I lived near Bull. I'd target browns.
  21. Quillback
    Nice chunks!
  22. Quillback
    Well I wondered when the bass were going to start bedding with water temps in the 60's. Going to be a lot of boats out there this weekend.
  23. Quillback
    Does anyone in that line of waiting vehicles get out and talk to the yakkers? Or does everyone sit there and fume? If I've got someone blocking a ramp, and it does happen from time to time, I'll walk up and ask them what's going on. Usually that will work, sometimes not, but it at least makes them aware of what they are doing.
  24. Quillback
    Man, life as a fisherman is sooooo tough. Kayaks on the ramp, Holy Toledo! 😀

    I caught several small ones on a Surge Shad couple of days ago, plus another 4 or 5 swirls. They just did not seem overly interested in it, yet.
