DADAKOTA Posted Wednesday at 02:39 PM Posted Wednesday at 02:39 PM Been several drown at Caplinger over the years. Before Stockton was built folks used to water ski in the millpond. My FIL's brother was pulling skiers one day in my FIL's boat. He failed to make the downstream turn and took the boat over the mill dam. Surprisingly no one drowned. Drinking was involved. Boat was totaled. BilletHead 1

And although she was wasted on Jack Daniels & Quaaludes it was VERY obvious that she wasn't enjoying herself one bit. We were at Destin about 20 years ago staying in a condo on the beach. Black flag warnings due to riptides. People were still swimming. A guy got caught up in one and started to scream and panic. I'll never forget the sound of his screaming. Different than anything I ever heard. He got dragged out and drowned. We heard him all the way. Spooky is what it was. fishinwrench, T.J. Clarke and BilletHead 1 2
rps Posted Thursday at 04:10 PM Posted Thursday at 04:10 PM Sometime around 2000, I stayed at Sportsman's on the White River. I came back in from fishing and found a guide (Elvin?), two older women, and an older gentleman standing with the lodge owners around a pickup. In the bed of the truck lay another older gentleman, very dead. They were waiting for the sheriff or something. All, especially the guide, were quite shaken. It seems the guide had the two wives in his boat and gentlemen were tagging along in theirs. As they drift fished both sides of the river, the gentlemen's boat hit a personal dock just down river from Sportsman's and the current rolled them under the dock. Only the one survived. I had actually fished with that guide about ten years before. He was from Gassville and had something to do with law enforcement. Help me out here, was the name Elvin?
