Daryk Campbell Sr Posted December 14 Posted December 14 The first day (Thursday) we went launch, but Rick @Terrierman realized there was a problem with his tiller. The throttle handle was missing. He and I didn't go out. Cody @gotmuddy, and Ray went out for a couple hours, DJ met up they caught a few trout, and a couple smallies near the confluence of the Buffalo. Food, well, amazing as usual. Cody brought trout dip, candied jalapeño dip that he covered a block of cream cheese and we had fried bologna sandwiches, until the red beans and rice was served along with smoked chicken thighs. Miles, the owner of Rileys Outfitter helped Rick out and got the motor fixed well enough to use. We got out today (Friday to fish. David ( @dpitt ) came out to play. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of him or his cool boat. Rick and I almost doubled on each of our first fish, unfortunately while I was raising mine into the boat it came off. I didn't touch it, so it didn't count (Rick's boat, and his rules :-) ) we caught quite a few fish, I was throwing Lilley's Jigs, tri olive with a red wrap seemed to shine for me. Rick was using multiple colors of jigs as well as a Doty Signature Series Sculpin jerk bait. Fish of the day was a 20" brown i caught. My personal best. It fought hard, stayed deep for quite a while. Rick was very helpful in my landing of the big brown, I would have probably lost it had he not coached me and netted it for me. The bonus of the day was a sucker caught in the mouth on a jig, caught by Rick. dpitt, Ryan Miloshewski, ness and 9 others 12 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted December 15 Author Posted December 15 Friday night dinner. Fried blue cat, fresh cut Fried potatoes, potato casserole courtesy of Rick's wife, with creamy mac and cheese. Well, it was amazing! We stayed up and watched a couple movies, Cody and I fell asleep and the guys left us out in the living room.

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted December 15 Author Posted December 15 Today's weather started either rain. We slept in had a late hearty breakfast. Deer back straps perfectly cooked by Rick, along with crispy bacon, and some left over fish and potatoes as well as casserole. Had a great day on the water, doubled up many times. Ray caught a beautifully marked smallmouth, some browns and plenty of rainbows. Rick flat out was a fish whisperer. He was our (Ray and I) guide. He worked the motor while relaxing and allowing us to catch fish in the Shoals at Buffalo Shoals. We started off great. Then Rick decided it was time to show us up. After some issues with line breaking, we all seemed to have issues, Rick started catching and he never stopped. He became wore out and allowed Ray and I to catch again. Cody and DJ went over to the Buffalo and had a great time over there. They had an issue coming back from there, we came across them while Cody was pulling the boat. We all fished near the ramp for another hour or so, then came back to have dinner. Cody made an amazing gumbo that we all shared. WOW. That's all I can say about that. There may have been hints that it may make an appearance at Taneyfest 2025. snagged in outlet 3, Haris122, Johnsfolly and 1 other 4 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.
