A good day on the river

Looks like you spanked some slab daddies yesterday!!!! THNX for the pics and nice catch!!! I have never fished the backwaters of the Arkansas and I live right beside em here in Scott... So do you catch em off in the old shoots (out of the current) on any structure you find?

I am wanting to know something about some river fishing. Are guys fishing the river itself, or are you fishing chutes off the river, or in the case of backwater(meaning the river's out)? I've got some little rivers around up here that I've been wanting to try when it's real windy.

them looks like some cole pile fish ?????

Nice! thanks for sharing

Nice catch

your getting cold,its shallow in spots but around the islands and chutes between the boat ramp and coal pile.it would be nice if the river was a foot higher,but not too much then you couldnt see the stumps.i did try merrisac a week ago with no luck,the water is a lot clearer down there

nice
