Thread: Feb 17th Nightstalk

Sorry, Slip. Didn't mean to leave you off the list. My bad dude. If you want, you can use my submersible lights for the water and my lantern for some light in the boat.

As far as bringing your big boat, wait until we get an idea of how many folks are truely coming, and which of those will be bringing their own boats. There's no point in bringing your 20' (other than to just look at a thing of beauty:D) if there are only going to be one or two people in the boat with you...See you in the morning dude.

Ok, so as of right now...it looks like we will have:

Me
Gooch
Slipcork
Randy
Grubby and Cousin Jason
D.P. and possibly Diet D.P.
Bobberwatcher
Coondog
Coats

Anybody else want in? We will confirm the number of men later on next week. We will also address the boaters vs. non-boaters at that time in order to get the most bang for our buck.

Also, we are going on a recon mission in the morning to create some superb habitat to pull those dang crappie into our reach. Will post some pictures and an update tomorrow. If you are coming to the nightstalk, PM me and I'll send you the coordinates on the newly installed brushpiles...

Just in case anyone is wanting to get on the main river, here is a link to the corp river charts for the arkansas river. May come in handy to dodge the rock dykes.

Great link Randy. I have found out the hard way you better know where all of that stuff is if you going to go play on the river. Its even more important at night and in the winter. You throw in the fact that the river at times can be moving 7mph and you can get in trouble in a hurry if your not careful

We wont be within a mile of the flow of the river when we are on our nightstalk. Most of the places we have are within a qarter to half mile of the launch. You wont have to ever get 50 yards from the bank on this trip and be in water you could manuver with only a trolling motor.

Hey CEB, please don't count me ENTIRELY out yet...I am trying really hard to figure something out with my job so that I can just get that entire day off and leave Rogers, AR around 10 a.m.----giving me plenty time to get up there and make a few stops on the way...I can say this, IF by chance I can come, I will be FOR SURE a non-boater...I'll be able to let you know one way or the other for sure by Monday or Tuesday next week at the very latest! MM

Here is some of what we did today.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Oh yeah! Looking good guys. I am soooooo ready for next weekend!

I got you, MM. Hope you can make it, but if not, we will be seeing you soon at one of the upcoming AR crappie camps...

I'm getting pumped about the nightstalk coming up next weekend. I think everyone will leave satisfied, even if we don't boat a fish. Also, if anyone has nothing else to do next Saturday, there will be several of us getting out there around noon-ish. Feel free to come on out anytime.

As for finding us, just look for the poor guy leaning over in his pedestal chair drooling on himself (but, just don't say anything to him about it:D ). He will be in a boat that looks similar to this, just without all the vegetation...


Better watch out, he might be camo-ed up...:D


We really need to have a little brush sinkin' competition at out upcoming nightstalk. This boy can sink a condo quicker than anybody else around. He's a lot quicker than the camera. I'm puttin' my money on him...
