Me

[fishinforhim]

I live in between siloam springs and fort smith ar

Got a ten yearold and a two year old and one in the oven

Gods been really good to me I live with about 20 troubled teenage boys

they come to this ranch I work on and live for 14 months

so when I go fishing I m trying to get time alone or at least out of

my life to get peace

alot of times its just me and God and thats great but sometimes

I need to be out with men since Ive got so many younger fishing buddies

I like takeing them out but have resorted to only taking out 2-8 at a time

its hard to fish with 20 guys talking

I love river fishing esp. creeks

its the solitude

but go to some really small local lakes and have a flat bottom with a 48lb trolling motor

its harder to find the fish in a lake than in a creek

more area to fish and you need to know lakes in order to fish them unless your fishing with

a buzz bait or can see fish

the only way I have sucsess on lakes is in the morning with top water or minnows and a cork

tubes and craws are easy to fish rivers with and fish will bite it allmost year round at any depth

of water. next best river bait is a countdown silver minnow

cant count the number of times ive caught 10-30 fish out of a hole and it was every thing from

drum to perch to black bass and gar or turtles with the count down

and last river bait is the buzz

nothing beats a big smallie hitting that thing at about 6:45am

I catch and release

but every once in a blue moon throw a fillet of black bass on the grill

if you all ways fried your bass try it some time with your favorite chicken or steak seasoning

life is so great and fishing is awsome

my first year in ministry I fished 200-220 days

now its about 70

but my wifes gonna have our next kid at the end of may

so im here for now

but my favorite fishing is from sept to nov

big fish time so ill get to hit that

hope to talk to some of you guys soon
