Had it to myself last night at walnut springs, my son and I caught a small 2' spoonie and a pretty nice about 3'er male, we threw it back anyhow it was late and I got plenty in the freezer. snagging for about 3 hours pretty hard. Set out a few bank lines with shad for cats and not a thing there though.

After our float trip yesterday I saw a spoonbill someone had cutoff the head, took the nose, and dumped the rest in the river. It made me VERY upset. That was at shelvin rock.

I wouldn't have thought that many fish made it up the river this year since the water didn't stay high enough for long enough.

I don't know why someone would just take the nose. That makes me mad too, that all of our resource, if you kill it you should eat it!

Seth I agree I don't think a lot of them made it up river a fair amount probably. I think there are a good amount staging around point 15 up to walnut springs still though and I didn't see another soul snagging this weekend down there boat or shore.

The carcass laying by that spoonbill head is a gar with no head.

I snagged at the dam a bit on the parking side bumped one fish but idk what it was. There was two piles of remains down there though.
