Ski Trip/CP On the White River/Live Action Shots

These Five Pictures
1. Met up with Jerry/AKA Ski Trip and headed to Sylamore Creek Access at the White to Fish out of his Beautiful Trout Boat, Man that is One Fine Fishing Machine.

2. Heading Up river to one of Jerry's Favorite Fishing Holes, The White is a beautiful river.

3. LOL Jerry Grinning from ear to ear cos he knows were just going to wear em out.:D

4. The lure that did most the damage today, lil in line spinner, two power eggs, and a small pinch of shrimp on the end of the hook, #4 gold hook, with a #4 splitshot 16-20 inches above the hook. Cast out, don't reel, drift and let the current pull the bait and hang on.;)

5. Me with one of the first of several of our best fish caught, right after a butterfly landed on me and in Jerry's boat. Im not kidding Jerry saw it himself, Ask EM.:)

In these Pics

1. My Biggest Ozark Shadow Bass to Date.

2 Me with some more of those butterfly fish

3. Jerry loosing control and getting face slapped by a trout:p

4. Jerry gaining control of the same trout that just smacked him in the face, calming down and getting his pic took. Man im laughing so hard I got tears coming out of my eyes Jerry.

5. Trout on the Water, One of 40 we caught this day. Jerry knows how to catch em. RCC ya getting any tips yet from this post.:p

Looks like yall had a good time. Thanks for the pictures. Haven't caught any trout in several years. Sure would like to wade in that water though.:eek:

1. I dont know what this thing is called, but it jumped in the boat as we landed a trout. The thing was stuck to the side of the fish and jumped off in the boat. We both thought it was a snake at first. Then we both looked at each other and said what the heck is this thing LOL. It looks like maybe a lamprey eel or something. i know when i picked it up, it very quickly started to use it's sucktion cup mouth to latch on me. LOL. Well what ever it is I gave it a good foot stompin and threw it in the river. :confused:

2> I caught allot of wierd stuff this day, here is a pic of a creek chub hitting a inline spinner. LOL

3. Here is a pic of some crappie Caught in the last few days, and Jerry showing he has some talent with a Jiggin pole showing off, One of eight we caught that morning. The ones in the sink are 14 I caught the morning before. Jerry Man I had Fun the last few days fishing with ya, Looking forward to hitting the water with you agian man. Thanks to this site, I have another good friend and fisherman to hit the water with.:)

Looks like fun. The butterfly has struck again. You can bet I'm reading this closely. This dog ain't to old to learn a new trick:D

that looks like a lamprey eel.

The unidentified "critter" is an "algae eater"...They are plentiful in the White river.
We had one in the aquarium in our baitshop that a customer brought it . It was attached to a flathead he had caught in Henry Gray, Glaise Creek. I had seen them in pet stores but never in the wild like that.

Judy's Bait Shoppe
Augusta,Ark

That eel thing always got stomped on when I was ever with a guide up there.
Nice rig Jerry!!
CP, I don't know what is more aggravating. The pictures of you getting to fish while I am working; or, that can of snuff you use to measure them. I don't get to do as much fishing as I need to and 'baccer' is completely out of my life now ecxept in my heart.

Nice Rainbow Shad.;) That thing you caught is a Chestnut Lamprey. We catch Crappie on Nimrod with them attached, usually in the spring.

Nice bunch on fish. We catch crappie in the White River with Lamprey on them.

I miss fishin:(

Great pics!! Sweet trout boat Jerry. Got to fish out on years ago and it was really nice. I called it a stretch pirogue:D

Russ, great catchin as usual. I am way past ready to hit Conway with ya, just not real sure when I could make it. Life is happening...

great catch cp and jerry. lol that pic of the trout slab jerry is priceless.

Lamprey eel for sure. Back when I did a lot of trout fishing between Calico Rock and Guion I saw a lot of trout with these blood suckers on them. Kind of curious, though, is that it's hard to get them in the boat. My experience is that most of them release when you start pulling the trout out of the water and they hit the air.

Hey CP,

I too had a great time fishing with you the last couple of days. I still say if I get to hang around you much I'm can't help but learn something!:D Guys, he's telling you the truth about the butterfly! I saw it myself. I just wish the daggone butterfly had been a little bigger so the fish would have been a little bigger!;) Let's go again soon, Russ!:)

Wow, iv'e been fishing all over this state for a long time and never ran into one of these critters, Always thought a lamprey was just a great lakes species. Learn something new every day. I know when that thing hit the boat deck it started (break dancin) across my feet and scared me bout half to death. A water infestation with these could'nt be good for the fish and a few of you say they have been found on crappie. :mad: Death to the lamprey's, :D Man them some ugly little suckers.

Welp Cp looks like you and ski had a ball. Very nice fish and ski's boat looks really nice.
Reckon it was a lil cooler on the White than Conway? Glad that lamprey or fluke or what ever didnt latch on to your lil toe.
