I'm on it, Scott.

What's a frog?

I had planned to take my boat off the lift at the marina today and drag it to Rogers for the 300 hour maintenance needed to keep my warranty intact. When I arrived there this morning, I had to make a new plan.

I backed the trailer into the water at the gravel swim beach on the point. I walked the quarter mile back to the marina for the boat. I only had to "icebreaker" about 30 feet of debris to reach open water where I could motor around to the trailer.

The main channel is not as muddy as the Leatherwood runoff in the marina cove. The debris was packed solid by the North wind.

Most of that debris came from Eureka Springs (a slight exaggeration, but not much of one)...there are some videos around showing the main streets flooded and blocked off. Also, Highway 23 was shut down for a while. The bridge on Highway 187--the back way to Holiday Island is pretty much gone.

Wonder how a frog would work in that situation... Randy go try it and report back please.

Ish Monroe was staying at Schooner during the 2011 deluge. He was definitely throwing frogs and great big swimbaits. He was down at the dock drying each piece of tackle with a towel when I was trying to help Leon and Beck get the dock adjusted. Not sure I was any help with the dock, but I did get a good look at Ish's tackle. Have one if his swimbait hooks, modified with a Shaw Grigsby clip instead of a screw lock.

I know. I came out to 23 via the golf course this morning, instead of 187. One of my former students is engaged to a young man whose family lives between me and the Elk Ranch. She posted pictures showing the extent of damage to the bridge. I hope it is repaired soon.

I drove through town to go south on 23. The worst damage there seemed to be at the intersection of north 23 and the Passion Play Road. I understand several shops along Main had water damage.

Even a few stores on upper Spring were flooded...
