Pillar's Of the Earth/Lake Dardanelle/12-13-11

Well I got to fish with RTARK and XRING today we fished from about 8AM to Noon and caught our limit easily and threw back I dont know how many. It was like fish soup on the Illinois Bayou on Lake Dardanelle today. As I fished along with Ray and Don I knew I was with a couple of special fisherman, who know how to read a depth finder. Both did a great job staying on top of massive crappie schools suspended in 10-30 feet of water. We casted, veriticle jigged, and long lined trolled to catch a easy triple limit. RTARK caught the two biggest fish of the day and most were caught on his very own hand tied hair jigs, they are some beautiful jigs he ties. HAHA!!! He let me and Don know about it to. I got a First Hand look at XRING'S trailer to boat steps as he designed in the pic. Man it makes it easy to get in your boat from the ground. Simply amazing the stuff these guys come up with. Weather it's cutomizing a boat or trailer, making thier own jigs or a homemade remote control boat for catfishing these guys get it done. Im really blessed to know these two fisherman and I look foirward to spending many more hours with them on the water. They truely are Pillar's of the earth. Thanks for the Company Ray and Don. Tight Lines...

Ok that did it I will be over either Thursday or Friday.banghead

Thank You CrappiePro, for the kind words, I was a pleasure meeting you yesterday, and ole rtark showed his as*,,,,,oops,,I ment ability,,lol But today, there's going to be a reckoning, yup, he'll weight the boat down with dinks,,while WE catch the BIGGUNS...I hope...lol

Mr. Nimrod is coming over this morning so we will both have partners, and Lake Dardanelle may never be the same, we'll give NIMROD the deep end of the seine....lol

When I finish penning these few lines, I'm headed to the shop to get my tackle in order, re-string a few reels,,tie on some secret lures, get out my VooDoo doll and some needles, (doll bears a striking resemblence to rtark) find my crappie nibbles...lots of stuff to do before the grand opening on Lake Dardanelle this morning. LOL

Looking forward to fishing with lots of you guys in the future, its like christmas everyday when your making new friends and catching crappie!!!

Lots of fun yesterday. When theres catching to be done, you can count on CP and xring doing thier part. Its all nuttin but luck. You know I fold up under pressure so I cant compete.

xring - awesome steps!

Nice catch guys!

Nice fix on the steps X. I'm like Wayne, may have to come over. Good mes of Crappie

I'd like to have a set of steps on my boat trailer X, don't think I can afford em. Them sure are some fancy steps you built.

Come on down Steve48, and if I don't have a boat full, you can fish with me...Now thats a great treat...lol Thanks for the kind words on my steps!!!

NIMROD, if the crappie are hammering it,,It would be expensive...lol If its the dead sea out there, it wouldn't be too bad...lol

Unless it comes a flood tonight I will be over there in the morning.

Its thundering, lightening,,and raining cats and poodle dogs right now..but who knows about the morning,,Need to find my rain coat...lol
Give me a shout in the morning, I'll let you know what its doing, don't worry about wakinbg me up,,I am usually up by 3:00 AM
