A few gooduns from Dardanelle today

[rtark]

I hit the water about 8:00 AM and got to my spot and started to sit down. I noticed I had no seat. So I loaded back up and decided to forget it when I remembered my friend lived a couple miles away so I got into his shop and took a seat off of his G3. The last trip, I got on the water and realized I had forgotten my depth finder, so I went to my friends house and got his G3 boat and took it. The time before that, I let out my trolling motor and it would not turn. Battery was dead as a hammer, so, I went to my friends and got his G3 again. Friends are great to have around.
After about 30 minutes with no bite, I decided to take off the baits that had been working so well and downsized from a 3/16 to a 1/16th and slid on my old faithful blue and pearl slab bandit and that did the trick. I caught 19 good keepers in the next 90 minutes and culled 10 keepers. I have recently been fishing in the main lake just off the Dardanelle State Park on the Russellville side where there are some submerged creeks. On the way home I dropped off a few to an old life long fishing buddy that is having health problems and can't fish but still knows how to fillet and eat them. I love days like this.

These are for ole Don untill he has better days.


And the rest is for me

Nice catch! Hands Clapping I went today and they bit for couple hours then just quit over here after the wind died. Guess the Don you gave some fish to was Romine? I gave him a couple bags of fillets after the fish fry last night over here. Do you think this cold front will hurt the bite again?

Nice Catch RTARK, Looks like down sizing worked for you real well. I gave your lake a break last week but dont know how long i can hold out from getting back over there. See ya in a few days.
