  1. It's been drizzly here all morning, supposed to clear out, except for a chance of a storm at any time. I might do a little afternoon fishing on one of the Bella Vista lakes, hopefully there are still a couple left that didn't get stuck over the weekend.
  2. Bill Jr. won by a whisker with a 19.5" largemouth.
  3. The judges have unanimously decided that Bill JR wins by a whisker. Congrats! Bill - I will send you a PM, and copy Phil, so that he can get the plaque to you. I'd like to do another one of these, but have to do some polling to see what interest level there is in doing this again, have heard lots of feedback on possible changes, so I'll get back to everybody soon to see what the membership feels about doing this again.
  4. LOL, man you have some smart critters in your hood. Don't know what trap you've got, but the one I have you can adjust the lever that drops the lid so it's more sensitive. Maybe wedge the bait in the trap plate so they have to work to get it out. But on the bright side, they now think they can get those mallows and get away with it, which will be their undoing.
  5. Watching the radar last night we got lucky that the bulk of the precip fell just to the west as the storm moved north near the OK/MO border. Here in NWA we never got anything like the rain that was predicted to fall on Sunday and Monday. It finally rained and stormed last night, but moved through fairly quickly. It's not over yet, but doesn't look nearly as bad now as it did last Friday.
  6. Didn't know about that click and zoom feature, thanks Bill for pointing that out. Works for Wrench's pic too.
  7. Dunno, that's one of those things I'll figure out if the day comes where I trap one.
  8. Those thieving rascals! Had a problem one year with coons getting into the tomato plants, got one of those live traps, and baited it with the half eaten tomatoes they left behind. Got 2 young'uns the first night, then their mama the next. Mama was a tad ticked off. I'd run a long rope to the trap just in case you get a skunk.
  9. I have never stayed at Bill's White River Lodge, (it's on my to do list), but it sure looks like a great place to stay. Bill could certainly give you some recommendations as far as getting the boat in the water. Anyway check out their website, show it to the wife to see what she thinks. https://www.whiteriverlodgebb.com/

  11. Always wondered what the chuck and duck deal was, now I know. Used to use a similar rig except on a bait caster for steelhead fishing, with eggs clusters.
  12. "Rental boats operated by idiots" - that cracks me up! But glad to hear you got your friends into some good fishing.
  13. Great fish, congrats!
  14. Son of a gun, they are sold out except for one color, Shad Scales. I ordered one, I like the color.
  15. Hope so too, I have a whole collection of non-waking wake baits.
  16. I think it was on here, or maybe another forum, that people were talking about the no longer produced Strike King Wake Shad. Just got an email from 6th Sense and they are introducing what they call the 'Speed Wake'. Thought some of you might be interested, you can get it direct from them at 6thsensefishing.com.
  17. Got this from AGFC: Today, May 22 at 1:00 pm, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers opened the floodgates on Norfork Lake. Please use caution while on or around Norfork Lake. High water can lead to an increase of floating logs and debris. For more information, please visit the Corp of Engineers

  22. Reminder that the tourney starts at 5 PM today. Here's the link to post your photos, also it is where the number is posted.
  23. First the number to put in your photo is 917. Write it down on a piece of paper and include it in the photo. Post photos in this thread for the judges to review and please use this thread for photos only. You can include commentary in your photo post if you want and be sure and declare that it was caught on public water using an artificial lure. Thanks and good luck!
  24. Skies are dark here, wind blowing, thunder rumbling, I am expecting it to start pouring down any minute.
