[wacky worm]

walt, terry jean ann and myself launched from the heaven sun evening just before dark

we had two trucks at the take out walt and terry stayed later

we all caught some fish but did not catch a bunch

water moving fast and in a kayak kind of makes it a challenge

we could see the storm coming from the west

walt and terry told me the next morning what they did

it goes like this

they loaded the kayaks in the truck and decided to fish on foot

so they crossed the river at riverside

and when they got there a huge gust of cold air hit them

so they crossed back and let me tell you the water is above your knees and moving very swiftly

so they were close to the truck and a huge tree fell like right next to them

needless to say they got scared

strom moved in and dumped 2 inches

then it rained most of moday

river crested at 10.3

so on monday night we took the pontoon and went to lake windsor in bella vista

caught a bunch of brim and small largemouth bass

baited the jugs and caught some catfish

keep floating or whatever makes you happy

just being close to water and i am happy

b v is awesome i dont fish there as much as i yust to

but i traded my pontoon boat for a jeep with my buddy who lives on lake rayburn so the boat is his headache now and i just get to fish out of it
