Flysmallie Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 What a hot trip. Heat, rain, lightning and some frog water made this a tough one on fishing and floating. We did not catch many fish and really worked our butts off for the ones we did catch. I've never seen so many 8 to 10 inch smallies in my life, they are everywhere. We saw some big monsters and had a few chances to play but blew every opportunity. Still a great time with some awesome friends. Blaine was ready to go. Can't go wrong with a rubber snake. Crouching tiger. We made camp. Built a fire. About 10pm my buddy Kevin, who manages the Andy's Frozen Custard in Jonesboro, AR pulls out dessert. Alien spacecraft I'm sure. The later it got, the weirder it got. Camper down. The next morning these littleguys were everywhere around camp smashing minnows. Look at the gut on that thing.
Buzz Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Looks like you guys had fun. Nice fish too. If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
TroutRinger Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing...and yes that was most likely a UFO. Like 93% sure. "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy." "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot."
fishinSWMO Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Great pictures! Cold dessert after a hot day on the river sounds pretty good! Jeremy Dodson
Danoinark Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 +Ronnie, nice shot of Ursa Major... .and what camera were you using. Some great crisp shots. Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Flysmallie Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 Thanks guys. And yes there is nothing better than some Andy's Frozen Custard on the river. But it takes about 10lbs of dry ice and it's own cooler to get it there. Dano the camera is a Nikon D90. Not a camera that most would carry in a canoe but I take it everywhere I go.
Wayne SW/MO Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Again, great pictures! Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
eric1978 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 My boy can photog. I love the dog in the pickup shot. That's straight outa Life magazine circa 1950...minus the late model truck. Are those loose cans in the bottom of your canoe?
