This Weekend

[hoglaw]

Wow, crazy stuff. An entire boy scout troop is doing a wilderness survival/canoeing expedition from Payat all the way down to Yellville. They'll be camping a few nights and eating bass by the stringer-full. Also, the UofA Sigma Nu chapter is doing their annual spring float with the tri-Delts somewhere in there. Should be beer bongs a plenty and some good music. If you're looking to fish this weekend, I'd steer clear

Someone should tell the drunk greeks that the buffalo river is that way...

I could not think of a worse stream to float for beer drinking than CC. too many obstacles.

I think the boy scout troup will catch mainly goggleye

That post cracked me up because I have been on so many trips similar to both of those... I was always the one in the back of the flotilla with a rod instead of a beer in my hand... Oh and Boy Scouts pretty much always bring copious amounts of food so I doubt they'll be eating too many smallies- although I would still hate to be planning a trip for that weekend.

Guys, this was an early April Fools' joke - hence the winking smiley face.

I did an overnight with my brother and a friend on the creek and was thinking - what would keep me from doing a float? A boy scout trip and a fraternity trip in the same day would keep me off the river.

Anyway, Saturday was the prettiest day of the year for a float. Very little wind and bright sunshine. Unfortunately the cold front from last week really did a number on the fishing. We caught a few, but nothing to brag about....unless you're into carp. I caught a couple of carp that made the trip for me.

You got me man... tricky lawyers...

Throw a watermelon lizard under the concrete bridge. You may or may not catch some nice smallies.

I was wondering if you were trying to keep a few regulars off the creek to give yourself a little more elbow room. It looked like someone had a nice camp about a mile or so down from George's Creek, on river right past past a chute. The bass fishing was slow for us too. We caught a few nice largies up river from snow, but not any smallies over 14". I think that cold week slowed them down quite a bit, and I couldn't hardly fish Sunday due to the wind.

I've been thinking about how to catch those monster carp, but I don't know anything about them. Sounds like a blast.

That was us. When did you pass us? We saw one canoe that flipped over - I grabbed their paddle for them when it made it down to our hole. Then my buddy saw a solo. I was passed out...I mean asleep in a hammock until about 9:30. Glad to hear it wasn't just us struggling...no offense.

There is a excellent place to camp about a half mile above georges creek. there is a nice gravel bar and a deep hole.

caught all my bass on a crankbait. It was indeed bad slow. The wind was brutal on Sunday.

Muddy, that's my normal campsite you're talking about - just upstream from a house with a cross on a bluff. That's a good hole too. I got out and walked around and could tell no one has camped there since I did in October.
