Smallie Seeker Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just returned from a camping/fishing trip on the Bourbeuse. Camped stream side on a friends property. Fished a section on Saturday without any nearby public put-in access. After reading up on OAF I wasn't expecting much but to my surprise we did pretty good. Several nice smallies over 15" along with some soon to be eaten spots, 1 nice largemouth, 1 huge gar and a 10" crappie. Had good luck on chompers, rebel craws and 4" senko's. Storms rolled in Sat. Night and it got pretty hectic. One of our groups canoe's came loose after the river raised 3' and we had to go find it a mile down stream. Didn't fish the other section we had in mind on Sun. due to the muddy conditions. All in all a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I always insist on tying my boat so that it can not float away AND my buddy always insists that I'm an idiot to do so.

Terrierman Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Nice fish. Lesson learned about that boat. I learned it a few years back, that's one that will stick with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozark trout fisher Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Looks like a fantastic time, good pics too. But let's keep perpetuating the completely accurate narrative that the Bourbeuse is a poisoned ditch full of bottom feeders and nothing else.

Smallie Seeker Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I agree OTF. Just a muddy fishless cesspool! Oh and by the way all my Smallie catches swim away. Stringer is full of spotted bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
