Yeah I don't see him as being a good NBA prospect, he might be able to play overseas and I guess a player gets paid reasonably well playing over there, but it's not NBA money. He'd be better served to stay in school, take advantage of his scholarship and get a degree that gives him some kind of marketable skill.

Good on you for taking the kids out fishing!

Another InvisX user here on spinning tackle and AbazX on BC's.

You should have waded in right next to him, given him a little pinch on the butt, and asked him if he was looking for a boyfriend. More than likely it would spook him and he would take off, only problem would be if he said yes, then you'd have to figure a way out. But seriously, you'll run into jackasses out there whether it's a river or lake, best thing to do, as you did, is just walk off and let them have their fun.

It's up Aunts creek.....just kidding, I don't know where it is.

Yep great report ab, that's a nice spot BTW. I hear you on that wind, I've stayed around the house doing chores rather than going out and fighting that wind. Did you need much of a pause to get them to hit the McStick? I'm thinking with the wind it would have been tough to do a long pause.

I would call that a good start, nice pair of bass.

Yes a very nice eye!

I love a dry sense of humor...

Cool, we're getting close to that time of year when a lot of different techniques should start working.

Nice ones, thanks for the water temp report.

Just curious to see what the water temps were today (Sunday) for anyone coming off the water in the afternoon.

When I was living in Washington State, no one would buy Chum salmon, Chums direct from salt water aren't bad, but they have a bad reputation as once they move into the rivers they quickly start to deteriorate. So the fishing industry decided to rename them "Silver Brite" salmon. You have to be wary when buying salmon, especially when it's named something that's not an identifiable species. They are also trying to rename those flying carp that are infesting Midwest rivers, people won't buy or eat anything labeled "carp".

You guys done good, congrats!

Probably a good thing they were out of BPS floro, I once bought a spool of that stuff, if you breathed on it, it broke. Worst floro I've ever fished. I will NEVER buy BPS floro again.

I'm beginning to think that Fridays are now the new Saturdays, lots of bass boats out there today, nice weather for a change, I guess a lot of folks are playing hookie - good for you if you made it out there! Today was a quantity day rather than a quality day for me, caught around 20 black bass, mostly 12 -15 inch male LM's with a couple of spots and a couple of meanmouth. Big fish was a 2.5 lb. spot. The tube was doing it, most fish were rather shallow, 5- 10 feet around rocky banks that weren't too steep. Water temps were 52 - 55 degrees. I did get one fish on the Perfect 10 Rogue, a nice picture worthy 2 lb. meanmouth.

Thanks for the report!

If you're trolling for crappie, Bandit 300's work well and you'll pick up an occasional walleye.

Go get 'em, F&F, good luck!

Congrats to Mr. Webb!

Got out today on one of the Bella Vista lakes and threw some jerkbaits for a while. I did toss the Rogue for a bit, caught one bass on it. It gets down deep, maybe 10 feet but hard to tell. It did have a slow float to it, didn't have time to experiment with it as the bass were biting and I'm not one to experiment with baits when I'm catching them on another bait. Got most of my fish on a Plum Green Apple STX. Can't get them to bite it on the Rock, but these Bella Vista fish like it. It's really weird, I can catch fish on TR on something, come over here to BV and they won't touch it, or I can use something that really works on these BV lakes and the TR fish won't have anything to do with it. It keeps fishing interesting I guess. This girl just inhaled that STX, you can see just a bit of it poking out of her mouth.

I'm retired (that explains a lot, LOL) but finally looks like the weather is going to let me go fishing, gonna get out for a while today on one of the Bella Vista lakes and maybe head over to Big M tomorrow.

It will be Monday the 8th at 6:30 PM at AQ Chicken in Springdale. It's the monthly meeting of NWA Bassmasters club with the Bios making a presentation during that meeting.

Came up almost 2 feet in the last week, thunderstorms are forecast for early next week. If we get a big gully washer in the White and War Eagle drainages, I could see 1123 or even higher.

Everyone of us that has been in BPS in Springfield and has seen those big 10 lb. bass swimming around in the aquarium has fantasized about tossing a jig in there and hooking one of those hogs. Well, with this little baby and a bit of subterfuge, you MIGHT be able to get away with it.
