Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted December 12, 2021 Author Root Admin Posted December 12, 2021 It just hit me… I was supposed to take jigs for some who asked for them. I apologize. I could have sent them with Blake.
JestersHK Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Duane had plenty of jigs Phil, we all shared photo dump, report to come in a bit. marcusearlt, Johnsfolly, BilletHead and 2 others 5

Thursday afternoon @JestersHK and I fished at norfork for a couple hours, and on his second cast caught a 20 inch cutty on 2lb test. Friday when I got back I fished at Buffalo city. I forgot to plug my trolling motor in and when I bent down to plug it in I bumped a log and fell in the river. Thankfully it was only waist deep and it was 70 degrees. I laughed for 5 minutes in the boat and caught a few small stockers. Saturday @Daryk Campbell Sr and I started at norfork because they were running 2 units. We fished until the battery died and then we packed up and headed to reds. Fishing was good until water from norfork reached us then it just shut down. We came back to Buffalo city and fished below the confluence and caught several fish then decided we wanted to try the other side of the island which ended badly. The sun glared in our eyes and we beached the boat and in the process knocked a sizable hole in the boat and ended the weekend. I still had a great time. Fun times Cody and thanks for the pictures! You and Daryk are a good team, but strange things happen when you guys are together! Gets me to thinking I need some of that super-duper tape to carry in my jet for emergencies.

We thought the Hull was a skipping rock I guess.😂 The sun was in our eyes and I couldn't see that I was on the wrong side of the shoal. We went about 100 yards after hitting the first rock. It was a rough ride but we got zero rocks in the intake. Daryk Campbell Sr 1 everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

JestersHK Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Man another successful jig fest in the books. Home safe now, and what an amazing time we had. First of a huge thank you to Phil for his generosity and for giving us this site so we can all meet and get together like this. It's truly appreciated. We def missed you this year and hope you to see ya soon. The day fishing for me this year was pretty solid. I got to wade fish which was awesome, and outside of riding with Cody pre hole in the boat on Norfork I never boat fished for the rest of the weekend. We fished wildcat, Buffalo, and Bull Shoals twice with the low water. Caught at all of them but I was on a mission at BS. I wanted a Tiger or a Brook, but the rainbows and browns kept getting in the way. I also literally threw a 3/32 olive and ginger with an olive head 99%of the whole weekend. It was just a great producer. I threw an orange head sculpin but after breaking off I went back to old faithful. Man the fish were hitting the jigs hard too. I think I ended up with 60 or so to hand which was good enough to keep me going. After my 2nd cast Cutt at Norfork I was pretty ruined to catching stockers. Ok now the bad... We absolutely stunk it up night fishing and didn't catch a single fish at night. Was unreal. 6 of us headed out to Reds and then Norfork, then also wildcat. Threw the whole enchilada at them but its hard to stay motivated with only 2 hits... I guess the fish do sleep at night here versus Taney. I'm gonna keep doing it though until I succeed. A lot of it had to do with trash water too. Wildcat we got there right as the bull shoals burst water made it down and it was a sea of garbage. The food def stole the show. My goodness I love getting fatter surrounded by great people. Thank you to all the chefs, and even my sammich makers. Cody and Eric def put in some work for some phenomenal meals. Final thanks to all the gang. People are what makes this something I treasure and look forward too every year. Man we laughed and laughed and lied about fishin! We had I think 5 first timers too, and it was great to see and meet some new folks. I hope maybe one day we get to where we have to rent the whole resort out with OAF! Missing you guys already.
