Dardenelle camp fishing with creek

[arkansasbowhunter]

Well taking a break from fishing in my boat I had the pleasure to fish with Mickey. We spent some time fishing and some time scouting for Saturdays big fish tourney. Mickey got a new 21 ft skeeter and man that's a nice ride for sure. We found some fish late Friday pm though finally.

Friday night I was talking with Creekslick and he offered to take us fishing. I told him I had some located and he offered to teach us long lining.

Friday night my family and I crashed in mickeys motor home and there wasn't much sleep. Them girls were little giggle boxes for sure. We all slept side by side with the poking and tickling it was hard to sleep. Finally they wore down though and we got a little sleep.


Saturday morning lil bit woke up early as usual with her fishing hat on. We met up with creek after the bass tourney start which sounded like a hornets nest lol. Creek, Mickey, lil bit and I left for the ramp. Wayne informed me he didn't get much sleep either as his dogs barked at every little noise. We launched and believe it or not I got to drive the new slick boat. Man what a smooth riding ranger. This boat is awesome and he has a boat of a life time.

We made a short ride across the bay and started putting lines out. Just getting set up we already had fish pulling on the rods. Mickey was the first to strike and lil bit followed close by him. Creek and I netted fish and had a big time watching the fish pull on the rods. I learned a lot for sure from wayne.

The crazy thing was 90% of the fish were caught on one rod with one particular jig which Creekslick only had one of lol. I guarantee he will have more next time as them fish were tearing it up. Lil bit held her own and was like a coiled spring when the rod dipped.

I was able to get my hands dirty some in between taking pics

Wayne even jumped in a few times

We ended up seeing nimble head and billion on the lake too

Crappie Greg was struggling a little so we invited him to fish over by us

We ended the day early with 30 crappie and a big ol catfish. Thanks Wayne for a trip to remember. Mickey enjoyed the trip with ya and good fellowship.
