I know, and thank you very much for the help. We'll give it a shot.

Let's see, Ouachita advice, Maumelle advice; may end up having to put you on retainer! Did y'all just rig the crickets under a float? Little split shot maybe?

Yep. Chad has worked on my rigs since the Riverside days. It took several visits to get the issue with the Polarkraft worked out, but that wasn't his fault really and he didn't charge me this time. I...

Not over. It's a 25 on a 16' Polarkraft.

My boat is at Westside Marine. Thought I might take my sweetie with me Saturday afternoon to pick it up then mosey on out to Lake Maumelle. Sure would love to bring home enough Bream to eat. A...

How do y'all like to rig the Trout Magnets for Bream?

Anyone know how I can reach Arkie John? Sent him a PM but I don't think he frequents the site these days. Need some help with Ouachita.

Thanks Nimrod!

The GF and I were out rambling last weekend and found ourselves at Nimrod looking around. We eventually found ourselves at the primitive camping area and she expressed a desire to camp there sometime...

Chains are prohibited in SOME of the tail waters because they tear up the habitat and destroy the redds (spawning beds). They can also be very dangerous.

+1. Not good luck at one and REALLY bad luck at the other.

Westside Marine just off 10 by Lake Maumelle. His number is 868-8707.

I've always had all my outboards worked on at Riverside and I know I'm not the only one. However, I
learned yesterday they're no longer doing service work. I guess they'll just focus on the...

Maybe you'd better clarify what you consider primitive camping. So far the responses haven't been consistent with what's generally considered primitive.

No sir, I missed that one. As I said it's been a while. However, I can tell you noone need worry about my Yo-Yos. They all have my name and number on them and I never leave them unattended or do any...

Hi ladies and gents. Been a while. Anyone ever fish lake Fort Smith? I'm going to be at a conference over the
weekend. I'll be free all day Saturday and it's supposed to be really nice so I thought...

Are you staying at the state park, or Catherine Landing? Catherine Landing rents boats too. Neat place. You should check it out if you're not staying there. It's on the opposite end of the lake from...

Very different from the White. Smaller and woodier and gets a lot of pressure, but you can navigate it in a john boat. Just have to pay attention.

I haven't fished Crooked since I was a kid in Harrison but I know there are some nice smallies in there. Buffalo is hard to beat. If you can't catch smallies there you can't catch smallies. Upper and...

Their trolling motor man has been doing that for a long time; used to have his own shingle out. I've had good results from him as well, but I wouldn't necessarily encourage you to expect the same...

Yes sir. Big tan metal building (narrows it down a lot, I know).

Cool shop too. All that equipment for redoing the heads and a friendly shop dog to boot.

Anything I need done gets done at Riverside Marine. Super nice guys, very reasonable and capable, and honest as the day is long. They generally turn me around pretty quick too. I'd strongly encourage...

D10, I think I read on here that you guys welcome volunteers to help with shocking trips and other needs. If so I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. If not no harm no foul.

Sounds like a blown inner seal to me too, likely caused by excess grease. Overfilling the hub cavity is a mistake that is commonly made due to the misconception that too much grease is better than...

Yes sir. Right across from that gas station (think it's a Big Red but not positive).

I've had good luck with Buddy's in Cabot. I took my 21 foot barge there last summer when the sun pad blew off and asked him while I was there what it would cost to recover all the furniture. He...

No worries. You ain't got much on my brother down in Texas. Fifty pounds maybe. The raft is a great rig. It's an old whitewater boat I bought sight unseen from an outfitter in Oregon. I built a frame...

No comment on lines one or two, but the raft is a fourteen footer, can handle up to 1800 pounds and is mighty comfy.

I floated my river raft from the dam to Rockport last summer. It's a really nice little stretch and looked like it would be really good fishing during the times of year when people weren't partying...
