Successful Dardanelle Fishing Trip

Some people ask me, "Don, why hire a guide?" The simple reason is this, why go to a strange lake and hope that you can find and catch fish?
So what do I look for in a guide? Since I am hard to get along with on the water, especially if I'm not catching any fish. So who did I call? I called my soon to be friend Don.
Don, immediately put me on fish, he did his best to answer all the questions that I asked him, even though some of them did not pertain to fishing.
we fished together, got to know each other, and I hope I have found a new crappie.com friend.
If any of you out there, or know of anyone that wants to catch fish with a great guide then I urge you to call Don and get ready for a very productive day.
Below, you will find proof of what I am saying.

He's one of the best in the state for sure........glad you had a good time.

Don I had a great time and enjoyed your company hope to do it again soon.

Good catch , bet that kid had a blast. :biggrin

Good fish and glad you had a good time!

A person just needs to go on a guide trip every once in awhile to give himself a break from the work involved in catching a fish. You also pick up some great tips that you can take to your own lake and use. We have a great corp of guides available on this board that can really catch good fish and lots of them. We have guides that fish different styles and different water so if you want to learn about any style of fishing, there is a guide on this board who will be willing to teach you. I have been privileged to fish with one here in Arkansas, and still use what I learned from that trip today. Looking forward to some guide trips in the near future.

The good thing about Don was even though we were catching crappie he has his own self goal of if you are or are not catching good size crappie. I was as happy as a hog in slop with the crappie I was catching only to hear Don say "to many Dinks" and we were off to a new location.
I just has a great time and Don is the easiest guy o get along with (I have o say CP is also) and ju8st have a good time catching fish with.
If I was giving out stars Don is definitely a five starer.
If one wants to catch crappie on a guided trip Don is the man to put fish in the boat.

WOW nice!!!!

I agree five stars for Don. Great pics, glad you were able to catch some fish!

I agree. Went on a trip with him last year and I have another booked with him next week. Hope y'all save me a few. Lol
