Left the house Sunday morning and headed to the Arkansas river to fish below the dam at Pendleton. Got there at 6:50 to find the road blocked at a point that prevented access to the dam. Sign said closed due to shutdown. About a hundred white bass and a dozen catfish thank the congress. Mai. Purpose of the trip was to pick up my camper to move it to Sardis. Gonna leave it at Wallace's or the dam store. It's older and small but since I started fishing the big 4 I haven't used it at merrisac or the white river refuge. Tires were original from 98 and bad. Two flats on the way home. Lucky to have a spare for my boat in the truck. I have started hauling 2 spares. Pucker factor goes down when you have to put spare on but you have another. I wished I had one more after I put the best spare on.
