Which one of you seasoned crappie veterans...

Wants to take me fishing with you on Dardanelle? I would like someone to teach me how to fish out of a boat and catch fish. Most of my crappie come off of yoyos.

I've never had any luck fishing Dardanelle for anything really. I have a boat but no depthfinder/fishfinder. I do however, have a topo map of the lake.

I'm ready when you are. I'd be eternally grateful...

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

Heck, even if you don't know what you're doing, I'm always looking for someone to fish with. I don't like fishing alone, and most people I know are usually tied up doing one thing or another.

First,,a couple of questions,,Do you smoke? Do you Drink Alcohol? Do you cuss and tell yarns? Do you dip snuff? Do you insist on measureing and weighing fish? If you answered No except to the last question,,we may not be compatable..lol

Not a expert at anything, but will take you fishing,,you don't mind wearing a blindfold,,right?
Only one thing to remember....I'm the boss....now load up...

Send me a PM..

Oh,,and tell your daddy who you going with,,he may forbid it...lol

I don't do any of the above, but quite a few of my friends do...so I'm probably not compatible with most of my friends either, but we still hang out and are friends. :biggrin

Should I tell Dad before or after? Either way, he'll probably be ashamed of me. Lol.

You might wait until you get back,,and be somewhat vague about who you fished with...Don't want to be trying to fish and watching those bluffs for a radical with a .50 BMG....just saying..lol

Don, better warn you about Fro. Last xmas he got a bible and some cologne. That is a hint cause he is a ''stinkin preacher''. LOL LOL
GOOD THANG YOU CAN'T HEAR!

I remember going with this old guy once on Nimrod, but I've slept a few times since then so I don't really remember what he taught me. :yikes

Dont go with XRING... Go with RTARK, I still say he is the nicer of the two grumpy Ole men and RTARK can still hear you when you talk. Don will wear em out on ya and you haft to get right up in his ear before he will tell ya what he's catching em on... by then it's too late cos he's already caught ur limit and his and he's says ok you ready to go in and how did you enjoy your fishing day. LOL Naw im just kidding Xring will make a great fishing partner, well maybe, im not sure, I havent really fished with him yet either... but he seems like a pretty good ole boy. HAHA!!! better listen to Nimrod on this one.

I don't know If that was you I saw with xring today, but if it was you might of got beat on the number of fish caught, but one thing for sure, you had a longer pole than him. Even though you were in the back seat you could have fish out in front of Xring and just let your pole rest on his shoulder.

He's a, GULP, Preacher? Trying to remember what all I said, forgive me father,,I HAVE sinned.....and that might have been holy water instead of a spash from a crappie????>>?>It ain't good to spring this on me after the fact NIMROD....

Thats it??? Nothing about the wonderful host I was, my ability to locate fish in adverse conditions, my sunny wit and kind disposition, my my my my my.........and all the preachers I ever knew was long winded.....not even a atta boy....I am hurt deeply.

I take it ya'll fished? Where are the photos guys?

Well, X doesn't like to have his picture taken. Something about the govt out to get him or something. He did inform me that he was an expert with firearms and that I shouldn't make him mad because of it. He also said he would make me fish structure if I told anyone where we went.

But in spite of all this, he's an excellent crappie guide, will put you on the fish in adverse conditions, and has a pretty nice boat. He didnt even cuss that much. :biggrin

Pssssst,,CrappiePro, he has more excuses than Obama,,,oops,,I DIDN'T say that!!!

Just look what we got to look forward to CP.:cheers2 We will be the next generation of grumpy old men!:yikes Lets hope we can live that long.:fish

I hope we can make it another 30 years CA, that would put us at about thier age now... or is it 20 years Oh well who's counting LOL, Our time is coming for sure when a couple of 50 year old guys will be calling us CRUMPY Ole MEN HAHA!!! I remember a good fishing buddy here on Lake Conway named Homer Smith. He was 78 years Old when i Met him and we fished right up to his passing at 95. We spent many a days fishing here on Lake Conway. He would always carry his lil fiber glass waterscamp one man boat around Lake Conway in the back of his truck. A great fisherman who took me out in the cypress trees and creeks of Lake Conway and schooled me on the ways of verticle jigging. I will forever miss him and others who I spent valuable time on the water with. I just hope the Good Lord has crappiefishing in Heaven or we might have a problem if I get to the Pearly Gates and dont see a big blue lake with standing timber and no Trot Lines or YOYO's hanging all over em. Im a lil picky about my Heaven. LOL

So anyways, since you like to fish Conway, and I've already fished with Nimrod, X-Ring, and I'm scared to fish with RTark because he keeps making comments about my "long pole", it looks like you just volunteered yourself to take me to Lake Conway next! So when are we going? :highfive
