Im sitting at the fishing pier parking lot waiting for my next appointment at Holiday Island and the whites seem to think something good is on the surface

Teach me to leave the rod at home grrrr

And I was just there--or at least nearby. That makes my decision on where to fish tomorrow a bit easier. I cannot imagine a white bass topwater bite. It has to be vicious!

Sorry but Duhhh.

[Feathers and Fins]

I cant tell you some dumbass left his rod at home

Now there you go. Sharing information again.

Ill be there again tomorrow Randy.. This time I WILL HAVE MY ROD!!!!!!

F&F-- Hope you had better luck than I did. I made several mistakes starting with arriving too late--got on the water about 8. That was followed by running upriver to see if there were any whites hanging out in their usual and accustomed places. Then I spent too long upriver looking for fish. I did find some, but they weren't biters. I'm thinking some of the deeper fish I saw off the first break might have been walleyes, but I couldn't testify to that. I ended up catching one trout about 15 inches before I headed back down and tucked into a creek to play with bass. The bass--spots and a largemouth--liked the wacky-rigged Dinger but so did the bluegills that infested the creek. Decided to head home when the wind made boat control more challenging than I'm used to.

If the wind is down tomorrow, I'll probably head to Beaver and see if I can get on the topwater bite in the morning.

I managed 3 on a short break. Nothing monstrous but still fun. I forgot how being land locked SUCKSSSSSSSS... Im just curious if there is still walleye hanging around from Golden Gate to the marina.

There are no walleyes there that you can prove by me. I've yet to catch one in Arkansas, but then I've not tried very hard in the eight months I've lived here. That fish and decent stripers are both on my list.

The fish that I saw and suspect might be 'eyes were upriver in the clear water hanging down on the bottom of the break somewhere between 22 to 28 feet. There weren't a lot of them, and it's possible they could be something else--like trout. Dunno, y'know.

Probably suckers
