Daryk Campbell Sr Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Late report, my apologies. The usual suspects gathered yet again for another fest (feast). Myself, Cody @gotmuddy, DJ, Brandon @fmcbrandon, Ryan @Ryan Miloshewski, Ray, Asian Brandon, Rob, Kevin and a couple GreenHorns Mike and Dustin, made our way down to Flippin,AR to fish the White River during the Juneteenth weekend. Some great rainbows were caught by @fmcbrandon and @Ryan Miloshewski while on a guided trip Thursday. We all met at the Airbnb house on Thursday. The host warned us of the need for 4wd, but we are men.. we don't need no stinking 4wd.... famous last words. There may have been a need for a wrecker, and additional need for tow straps. Cody and Brandon brought boats, and we took turns within the boats. We had an opportunity to tie the boats off in front of the house, so Cody motored his up to the house. Greenhorn decided to take out Cody's boat Saturday evening, with Asian Brandon but neither had any clue how to operate the trolling motor. That was quite a funny event to watch. They may have even ran the boat out of fuel. We all fished Friday, it was brutally hot, the fish were not really active. Not many were caught. The ones in boats seemed to have the advantage to get lures into the deeper water where the fish were hidden. Friday evening Ryan needed internet signal to take care of a work situation, and had to drive to the top of the hill in the subdivision we were stying in. The road is a very narrow, one way gravel road, and did I mention 4wd needed? We found out why. Due to the heat, I stayed in the house Saturday Rob did as well. Rob went to town to get a cord to fix the wifi that we didn't have working in the cabin. No cell coverage either. Thankfully he got it working, we were able to watch movies as well as have wifi. We watched a few movies while talking and hanging out Saturday after dinner. Not many fishnwere caught, Asian Brandon still had not caught anything all weekend, and this was a gathering to celebrate his return home from Kuwait. Saturday evening while taking Cody's Boat back to the launch, Asian Brandon went to give it one last try. He caught one fish, the only person of 3 to catch that evening. He caught a nice Brown, I believe the only one of the trip. Sunday as we were leaving I tried to successfully navigate the gravel road out with my van, and I was not successful. Luckily Cody had a heavy tow strap, and Ray was still there with his 4wd truck. He pulled me up the hill, and we got out. On the highway on the way out of town, Cody's trailer hub started smoking, and he pulled over with a trashed bearing. Ray was able to take Cody to the parts store and they got it fixed. Oh, yeah, we had food. Lots of food. Smoked boneless, skinless chicken thighs, homeade deer kolaches, some extremely hot salsa, smoked brisket, smoked deviled eggs, amazing baked beans made with apple pie filling, huge breakfasts including scrambled eggs, bacon, deer bacon, biscuits and gravy. Amazing wild turkey and dumplings, smoked chicken wings, shrimp and pasta, deer brats, smoked trout dip, huge homeade cinnamon rolls with homeade chocolate eclair cake and cheese cake for desert. I'm certainly missing other foods. GreenHorn Dustin brought a bunch of homeade wine, it was so good. dpitt, Johnsfolly, fishinwrench and 9 others 12 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.

Ryan Miloshewski Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Loose gravel is a fickle beast. Luckily I have AAA! Don't forget my absolutely ruthless sunburn (which I am still recovering from). Always a great time with you fellas.

netboy Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Was that house you rented a mile or so above Ranchette Access? If so, I know that road and it is terrible. I always wondered how they got all the materials and equipment in there to build homes.

Almost couldn't get up that hill during good weather. It was a bargain, but no way I would ever go back there. Ryan Miloshewski and Daryk Campbell Sr 2
