Ham Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I took my father in law out for a quick trip on the White River. I would have gone downriver, but the dingy water coming in from the Buffalo made me stay upriver. We launched at Rim Shoals. Not a single parking spot left. I has to make a place. River was way more crowded than the parking lot. Oh the humanity of it all. I know several folks that guide and I saw a few of them on the river today, but some of them seem to think they own the river. Kinda crazy being under cut by the same guide repeatedly during our 3 hour fishing trip. I kept a half dozen for trout cakes later. One of these days I'll have everything I need with me to clean trout before the trip starts. We were very comfotae on the water. The cool breeze coming off the river is like free AC. My father in law served as a US Marine. He isn't great at taking advice. As a result, he caught very few fish.i tied on an 1/ 8 oz Zig Jig and never looked back. I caught 36. Not too bad I caught bows ,browns, a cutty, and a real nice smallie.' Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Quillback Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Excellent! Seems like they eat those jigs year round.
grizwilson Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Great report Ham, most of the Guides are excellent, but a few....???? real ...jerks. “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
Members Kcdangler Posted July 27, 2014 Members Posted July 27, 2014 Guides have a tendency to be very opinionated I was fishing near the dam with one said I have to use the bathroom he said well if u do that day over not all guides are that way but he seemed mad at the word

Members Kcdangler Posted July 28, 2014 Members Posted July 28, 2014 That's the truth I said day over and paid him day over
Terrierman Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Hey Ham, I was a jarhead too and I CAN take advice, especially when it comes to catching fish. Good report, sorry you had to fight crowd and way too bad about thoughtless guide.
LittleRedFisherman Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 It was pretty crazy at Doniphan Saturday on the Current, it's that time of year I guess, don't mean we have to like it tho...lol There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!
Ham Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Try it in a canoe near Van Buren during early summer. I'm going to limit my yak / canoe trips to the "off season" from now on. Not on a weekend and not when school is out. Jetboat maybe, but canoe no. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
