Fish Catching Travel
I received this from Dave at Keller Bay RV Park. He was kind enough to add a link to my site, and as soon as I get some time and help I will return the favor. So here is his fishing report, and it sure makes me want to whack a few more reds in Keller Bay. It is one of my favorite places to catch reds, and I will make it back soon. There is some real important information to be gleaned from his report. Finger mullet and sand eels.
“Hey Doug, Hope you guys are doing well at POC this morning! Just wanted to give you a Keller Bay Update. This is the first morning I have gone out in a while. I was looking for some reds for a fish fry and I had no troubles. Spent more time getting the little boat ready and launching it than I spent out on the water. Went to my first Honey Hole and within 25 minutes had a 26″, 25 1/2″, 23″ and a 20”. Let the 20″ go and headed back to the pier for a cleaning session. They were caught on live finger mullet and when cleaned noticed that they have been feeding on small sand eels, small crabs and finger mullet. I then spent a “little” time testing some areas for trout with Gulp Alive and mud minnows. No trout were found this time but I didn’t give it a huge effort. Anyways, Hope your trip was as good as mine. Thanks for sharing.

That should give you a heads up on a couple of lure choices. On my recent trip to POC, which I will get posted tonight or first thing in the morning depending on when I scratch my next fishing itch, paddle tail plastics were by far the best baits for me. Now I wish I had thrown the sand eel some. Those are some nice solid reds. So thanks for the report Dave, can’t wait to get your way.
Random Thoughts
I have received a couple of notes on my Susan post and wanted to thank any of you that helped. Of course I heard from Faye, thanks girl. Susan has a long way to go, but with the support of family and folks like you with a giving heart, she will make it. She is one tough gal.
I get the occasional question whether it is ok to tweet my posts – please tweet yourself blue. My site has grown thanks to folks like you who have shared it with others. I get lots of offers to “grow” my site, to bring readers beyond my wildest dream. But will they respect me in the morning? The bottom line is you, and I appreciate you sharing my site with anyone you think would like it, or of course with anyone who puts a fishing rod in their hands and hits the water. So share, tweet, facebook, or send it by carrier pigeon, but please share it with someone.
The weather may take a little turn for the worse this week, but we are getting close to the last gasp of winter. And while it may not be perfect, the fishing should stay good, and only get better in the coming weeks. Be sure to remember that topwater when we get a nice cloudy day with no wind. A few are now being caught on the Gulf, and the lake topwater fishing should be really picking up.
I am watching the Hogs beating Georgia right now, and it makes me home sick for Bud Walton arena and those crazy fans. But what I miss besides family and friends is fishing the White River. One of the great trout fisheries in the country, Shoedog and Clyde are drifting it as we speak. Hope they whack them, and though I am not there to keep them in line, there should be some pictures to come. Good Luck boys. And if you ever want to visit a beautiful area the Twin Lakes Area of north central Arkansas is a great place to visit, and a fishing paradise. On the same trip you have a real shot at catching trout on the river, smallmouth and walleye on Bull Shoals, and bass and stripers on Norfork Lake. And all of it within a half hour of each other. And camping below Bull Shoals dam is a real pleasure. Nothing like walking 20 feet and catching trout from the bank.
News Flash – Just got a text from the Shoedog. They caught about 35 rainbows and had a good day. Has some pictures so as soon as he is home tomorrow I should get them so watch for that. Love that place.
I really appreciate it when folks send me reports. The one from Dave is a perfect example. You don’t have to give up your honey hole, to me or my readers, but information can be gleaned from any report that will help us all. So if you want to share just add a comment to any post, I will get back to you and share your fishing story.
Thanks for stopping in. The POC trip will be up soon. A good time was had by all, though we caught a pretty nice mess yesterday, I hear they are having it a little tougher today. So as soon as I get the word I will report on the last couple of days. It was my first time fishing with this bunch, and it was about as fun as it gets. Thanks for reading my stuff.
News Flash – I actually also just heard from the boys down at POC. Pushing the boat back off from where they got stuck trying to get in to Shoalwater from the cut at Charlie’s. Man I hate it when that happens! Of course none of you ever got stuck, right? Sure.
