Fish Catching Travel
Every once in while we just get lucky. And by luck I don’t mean that we are lucky to catch a fish, but that when it all comes together it turns out to be one of those fish. And the picture Clyde just sent me of the smallmouth he caught today in the Ozarks is one of those fish.
What more needs to be said about this one? This is a hoss!
This is one of those fish that just makes it all worth it, and Clyde said it fought like the devil. It came on a firecracker grub on light line, one of the great smallmouth techniques in Arkansas. It came of a main lake point at the mouth of a creek on Bull Shoals Lake, a classic place for smallies now that the spawn is over.
As those of you who read my stuff know we were there a month ago, and this is the reason we go. I can not emphasize enough – if you love to fish and have never fished the Twin Lakes area in north Arkansas you are missing a great experience. The mountains are great, the water clear, and the fishing is fine. What more could any fisherman want. If you ever think of going drop me a line, I will hook you up with information and contacts best I can.
The Shoedog and I are meeting Clyde and our buddy John Bauer in Ontario at Muskie Bay Resort next Saturday, and we are all getting excited. Clyde has his boat worked up for the 2 week trip, the Shoedog hopes to get his back from the shop tomorrow. I am piling up stuff and will be ready, probably 2 days before it is time to go.
Thanks Clyde for sharing that good fish with us. We all love to see nice fish, so if any of you catch a good one and want to share the picture or the story, drop me a comment with your email address and I will get back with you. I am off to the Gulf and hope to have a report later today. Thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
