MObassin95 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Happy New Years everybody! Thought I would start a thread on some Smallmouth only related goals for 2024. Here are mine: 1. Finally catch that 18+ incher. I’ve caught plenty in the 14-16 inch range but it’s time I get that biggun. 2. Fish the Buffalo River in Arkansas (bucket list trip) 3. Find a creek off the beaten path and learn it. What about you?

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted January 1 Posted January 1 @gotmuddy may be able to show you the Buffalo or at least give some tips. We stay very close (wading distance) to the confluence of Buffalo and White River for jigfest. I would like to catch a ddecent fighter, so far the ones I've caught have not given the tugs or fights that I have read about. I haven't caught any of size also.

If there is some water flow I can take you up from the bottom side via boat, or you can do one of the many floats in a canoe/kayak. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
Members KMHendu Posted January 2 Members Posted January 2 My goal is to catch a new personal best smallmouth which would basically be a 19”+ fish. I would also like to get on some more waters this year. Last year I fished mostly the Sac and Pomme Rivers but also did a float on the Gasconade. I would like to either float a different part of the Gasconade or float the Current. MObassin95 1

budman Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I think the regulation is no outboard motor above Erbie and only a 10 HP or less from there down to the White. A couple years ago we floated the lower section in our kayaks and about 1/2 mile upstream from the White we had two bass boats with 250 HP Mercs come by use at full speed. Glad we were close to the right bank fishing the edge and weren't affected by their wake. We hoped the didn't know about the shallow rocks another mile upstream.

Ham Posted January 2 Posted January 2 The Feds don’t play. I would imagine there would be a LARGE fine for that behavior. grizwilson and MObassin95 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
