From looking at the standing timber in some of your posts, I assume hand-held jig poles should work pretty well.

A fun time is on the horizon; bring it on! Ray

Lookin' forward to it, Ray. I have a couple of tests at the end of next week, so I'm free and clear of almost all responsibilites as of next Friday. It should be a fun and relaxing weekend.

As far as techniques go, I've seen folks use all types of techniques out there. I've seen 'em use the float-n-fly, tightline jigs, cast jigs, slo-troll a jig pole in each hand, and minnow fish using all of the above tactics. As far as I know, I'm the only one that uses the spider-rig tactic. And the great thing is that I've seen fish caught on all of the above techniques.

And to everyone that plans to attend...As the time gets closer and we see who all is gonna come, I will private message everyone the cell phone numbers of myself and Jerry.

That sounds perfect. I looked in my phone today and couldn't believe I only had Gooch's number and not your's and Jerry's, lol. Gooch, why is your name and number in all capital letters with speed dial number 1 assigned? I'm leaving my attendance open ended for reasons ya'll know, but by Thursday or so I will know more and I'll make calls then to see what's needed for the feed. Send your numbers now please.

David (the confused, ugly Okie cousin of mine, grubby) called the other night while he was standing on the flightline at Tinker AFB telling me he and Jason are making plans to come. If they are able to make the trip they will drive from OKC after work on Friday and get to my condo in Hot Springs at wee hours of the morning. We'll then transfer gear to my truck and finish the trip from Hot Springs to Star City. We'll fish all day and decide then if we'll stay the night. If there's no campsites available, make room boys.

Anybody else who might think it's too far or too much trouble just doesn't know what it's worth. Opening weekend of the gun hunt I cannot comment upon. I understand both but one must rise to the top. Anyway, I can't think of a smarter man and a man of more integrity than David and Jason. And they are, god willing, going to make the trip of nearly 8 hours just to fish for a day. Oh, and watch me out catch them as usual, lol. I'll do it if I have to tie onto the back of CEB's boat, LOL.
