Thanks guys. I haven't had time to do much fishing with only the weekends and a 2 yr old. Made a few trips with gooch last summer to ouachita and lake pine bluff. I've gotten the rust off and ready...

It's been awhile since I posted any reports, but still keep up with reading the site. Found some time off between jobs and decided to fill the freezer. I didn't find much going on around Jtown, so...

Being that I haven't been on the water since May, I figured today would be a disaster. Headed up to Portia Bay and arrived with wheels and bearings intact. The motor actually cranked right up too! ...

Wow! They really must "be on fire" for you to get out there and snag a limit! Can't believe I'm missing all that action. Just for fun, I'm going to find the "east hole" and wear it a new one, but...

Congrats on the limit. I'd say that's the first of many to come...get the grease hot!

Preach on...and sing to the choir! I don't think my motor will crank anymore...:(

That's the beauty of it...it doesn't take a whole lot of expensive gear. Get you the cheapest poles and reels you can find...and catch fish all year long. Find you a channel ledge and depending on...

Only time will heal...I wish her the very best in recovery.

Excellent catch, CP! Only way it could be better is if I was there to slap you in the face with one...:D What...no tater-chips in the pond this year?

Hey now, that's a low blow!

I don't even have time for honey-dos, much less fishing.:( I finally got a day off work today and had to cut grass among other things. I haven't wet a line in 3...

Last I heard, she was carrying minnows. But I'm not sure now that it's gotten hot. Might be wise to give her a call to be sure first... Joyce Jones (870) 339-2878.

I'm going to try to rustle up...

Boat control (speed) is the top priority for drift fishing. Whether it be a driftsock, chain, or 5gallon bucket, a windy day can be salvaged with one of these fishing tools. I would highly...

Your biggest problem will be trying to find someone to pay...or better yet finding someone legitimate to pay. I plan to be at Ed's either Sat or Sun morning, or both.

Fine mess of fish! I'll never forget my first trip out there during winter...didn't have enough line on my poles! You're probably in the same boat, CP...so make sure you put lots of line on before...

Funny how a heat index of 110 doesn't feel bad at all when your snatchin' those slabs in the boat! Thanks for the pics...

That's terrible news. I guess I usually feel safe...and have become somewhat complacent as well. Thanks for the reminder to keep a heads up, especially now that these waterways are so busy...

Oh, Don...I can't quit laughin'!:D I can just picture that...you know the only thing to cure that frustration is to slow down and have a dip...;)

Sorry guys...I apparently spoke too soon. Haven't had the time to get anything organized, and certainly haven't had the time to fish. Hope I can meet up with all my Central AR buddies again soon. ...

How about I just hand you $10 and we call it even? I can't believe more folks aren't interested in this...maybe it's the 2 poles rule:confused: I wish I could join you, but the honey-do list keeps...

Thanks for the report. Now that I've moved in...I may try to sneak off for a few hours in the morning. Where's the best place to get some minnows around here (Jonesboro)?

Now that I have an idea of ramps and such, I will get a post together early next week (hopefully I will have internet on by then) detailing times, ramp, eating, etc...

And the Peckerwood...

Congrats to your son. That is certainly an achievement to be honored! He beat some of the best teams in the world...And I'll take a pork butt at any time, just to be sure that he was judged...

Congrats on all the fine messes of crappie. I'm surprised you haven't caught 'em all yet! Thanks for the reports and the pics.

Nope, Don. It's actually quite the opposite! After spending a few years with Gooch, I could never handle dealing with anyone worse off than he is...:p

And I will be on the lookout for all y'all...

very, very true. It's a great time to be a spawnin' crappie. That being said, I do believe that flood control actually hurts the fish populations in some instances. If we hadn't gotten much rain,...

Thanks for the report...and attempt for pics.:D I'm pretty ticked off that I'm leaving central AR without ever venturing up that way to try Brewer. And I know why those Greers fish are so...

Good to know the high water's not gettin' you down, CA! Is it still considered a limb line if it's attached to a sign post in the parking lot?:rolleyes: Thanks for the pics.

No pullin' bandits in my future...more like pullin' a moving trailer. I'm thinkin' it would be nice to have a few planers out to the sides so that I can cover up 2 lanes of traffic...:D

Thanks for the kind comments, gents. There were some trying times and some fantastic times...but all of y'all helped me through it (whether you believe me or not) from beginning to end. Over the...
