June 7th and Jun 9th fishing reports

[taxidermist]

June 7th, we had just purchased a river jon a bit longer than the 14'er. and a Yamaha 25hp 4 stroke. So needing to give it a try and not sure about the motor on this boat we headed to Buffalo City where we could open it up on a large hole of water. Man this boat flys!!!!!!!!!!!!

So after the intital shake down run we headed out to fish. Well a longer boat tends to hang on the rocks in some of the shoals, HIGH CENTERED, so I had to take the swim to get us off the rocks, water was low but this was the best time to find out what the boat was capable of.

We finally reached where we wanted to fish. and caught lots of good fish. My son has figured out the browns he again landed four with one nice keeper.

I managed to land some super bows 3-16" bows and a 17" bow and 3 largemouth bass and 1 smallie.

Yesterday we headed down to Norfork to run up river to Shipp's Ferry we caught some nice bows and again my son was able to land some 12" and 2 cuthtroats.

About mid afternoon the fish shutdown, totally shutdown, others were out and they too were not catching fish. So I switched to smallmouth bass fishing and did well catching several largemouth and some goggle eyes.

About 45 minutes before dark the trout took off again but chartruse rooster tails. nothing else was working, we changed lure maybe 100 times yesterday when the fish shutdown between the three of us. This was my first time on this section of the White River nice water not overly crowded.

We did hit Norfork river for a bit but nowater was flowing and that limits where we could go and noone there was catching anything thats when we hit the White.

No brag just fact.
