Champ188 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 What the heck is that carpet/floor covering on his front deck? I'd get dizzy looking down at that and fall out of the boat! 😂 ozarksfishin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way that boat can be spotted from directly overhead. dblades, BilletHead and Daryk Campbell Sr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way that boat can be spotted from directly overhead. True, very true. That is Phil's trout boat. It is really pretty and that Black/White/Grey camo looks fantastic in person. Numb nuts even has matching boat shoes. That boat is Steel Grey with that camo and a grey 4 stroke hammer and is a beautiful rig. Don't think he was about to take his Big Phoenix for a day like today, to messy for him. Phil very seldom fishes crawlers or for that matter a drop shot. The guy is very good with a jigging spoon and gets his clients on fish with artificial baits as good or better than any guide on Table Rock. He was spooning yesterday when he found the bluegills. Said it looked like the entire bottom lifted on his Livescope. His folks today were wanting some fish to eat so he suggested trout and then he told them about the gills, and they were all in. My mom, God rest her, would have scaled everyone of them and fried them whole.

Mom would scale them then cut a horseshoe around the head as to not waste any. she would then slice along both sides of the dorsal fin and pull it out. She then would cut 3 or so diagonal slices across the fish, bread it lightly in flour and cornmeal mix with a lot of salt and pepper and fry it crisp so she could eat the crispy tail. She did the same thing to crappie regardless of size, if you filleted it she would not eat it. She was the best wild game cook I have ever seen. Made mushroom venison that made you want to eat the old blue roaster she cooked it in. Don't think the ole gal ever served a tough piece of deer meat in her life. Spend hours making wild rasberry, plum, grape and blackberry jelly. Have never had its equal. She always got a load of chiggers during blackberry picking time. I can remember one time she had them under her arms on her neck and waist. She was a total mess, soaked in the bathtub in Epsum salts. Don't think it helped much till they ran there course. I miss her. ness, Daryk Campbell Sr, snagged in outlet 3 and 3 others 6 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of gear do you use? Feel free to ignore this, I just love fishing a jigging spoon and am curious and always looking for tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
