Quillback

I agree, it would be great to see him in KC, they could use his bat. But 4 year contract would not be a good deal at his age.

What spoons do you like Bo?

Good question, my guess would be since Beltran is a switch hitter, they might use him against lefthanders at times.

Thanks for that link, I've read a bunch of his articles, it will interesting to see a video or two.

I was only referring to myself as far as being desperate . I want those silly looking little things to work, it's just so hard for me to have any faith in them.

Saw this on the AGFC website. http://www.agfc.com/resources/Pages/ResourcesEnewlettersQuarterly.aspx#Fish Scroll down to the Fisheries District one 9/30 link.

Must be nice to be in a position to walk away from a 1 year, $14 million deal expecting to get something better. Good news for Cards fans is the Cards would get a first round pick in exchange for losing Beltran. The market for free agent outfielder Carlos Beltran seems to be picking up quite a bit of recent steam. Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reported this afternoon that the Orioles, Yankees and Red Sox have expressed serious interest in signing Beltran and now Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald tweets that the Red Sox front office has already engaged in “serious dialogue” with the 36-year-old and his agent. Beltran received a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Cardinals this month and declined it, so signing him requires the forfeiture of a top draft pick. But what he is capable of providing offensively can outweigh that hitch. Beltran batted .282/.343/.493 with 56 home runs, 56 doubles, 162 runs scored and 181 RBI in his two seasons with St. Louis and he’s a .333/.445/.683 career hitter in 51 total postseason games. The Red Sox could use him as a regular left fielder and part-time designated hitter in 2014.

No squirrel recipes? I saw a lot of squirrels while I was fishing Table Rock yesterday, seems you hardly see any squirrel hunters these days. I keep thinking I'll take it up, I hate skinning those things and it's so hard to keep the hair off the meat.

I hate missed fish, missed one yesterday that may have been decent, got it under the boat, saw a big greenish silver flash as it turned sideways and it was off. No idea on the species, but I had caught a nice 2 lb. spot right before hooking that one, so I'm thinking a was a big spot or a largemouth.

When I use a Fish Doctor it means I'm really desperate.

Welcome!

I spent most of the day working for fish, caught about 10, with maybe 6 being keepers. Caught several 2 lb. spots, all of my keeper sized fish were spots except for one smallie. The fish were hard to find, I spent a lot of time fishing areas that should be good this time of year and getting nothing. But every so often I would find an area they liked and pick up a fish or two. Small cuts in bluffs, bluff ends, and a mid-cove bank were the spots where I found fish. The tube again was my #1 bait, with a couple coming on a Fish Doctor. Lately I can't catch a fish on a jig, but did talk to another fisherman who had picked up several on a jig today. Water temp was 58-59.

It is tough, you done good.

Hauled the rig over to Lost Bridge North and spend about 6 hours mid-day fishing the Indian Creek area. Poked around in several coves, caught 8 or so, with 2 keeper smallies and a keeper LM in the mix. Almost all came on a Texas rigged tube dragged on the bottom, in mid cove areas, fish being usually in 10-20 feet of water. Saw the "Arkansas Habitat Barge" - that's what it says on the side of the boat - over on the northwest side of Horne Holler loading up some salt cedars that had been cut down. As I was leaving, saw several more boats heading up that way. Back at the ramp, there were about 1/2 dozen rigs parked there with either "Arkansas Heritage Commission" decals on them or "Arkansas Game and Fish". I'm thinking those cedars they are removing are in that Devils Eyebrow area the state purchased last year. I don't know where they are placing the cedars however. Here's a keeper smallie that came with a bonus walleye lure and 30 yards of mono to boot.

Thanks for the update, looks like you folks got into some great fishing. Exploding tube of superglue -

Chiefs had first and goal from the 5, couldn't get it in, had to settle for an FG. Bronks fumbled the ball away to the Chiefs, I forget exactly where, but it was around the Bronks 30. First play with the ball, Smith completes a pass to the TE or H-back (whatever that guy with the beard is) an he fumbles it right back to the Bronks. Grrrrrrr....

Koi are much prettier

KC had their chances early.

Thanks for the report, I was hoping this wind would get them going. I might be out there tomorrow.

Sunny, windy and warm here in NW AR, 73 inside the house.

I plan on getting out a few times next week. I like a shallow jig bite.

They'll flock to that lake anyway his time of year. It's no secret.

What jerk bait colors do you guys recommend?

The Punisher in blue/chartreuse worked for me. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Punisher_Lures_Float__Fly_Duck_Feather_Jig_1_16oz/descpage-PLFFD.html

In my limited FNF experience, the one day I caught fish on it, I was fishing it 8 feet deep. Depth can vary of course, 10 feet seems to be a popular choice in the FNF videos I've watched.
