Back to Dano's at Gold Creek

Went back to Dano's yesterday and managed to put 5 in the boat and Dano gave me one before he gave it up and went back to the house. Of course, the smallest one is the one Dan gave me :o)

Same ole story as Wednesday, caught about 50/60 in the 4/8 inch range. Missed 5 others at the boat that I think would have been keepers.

Lot of the boats caught a bunch more than me, but I am not much of a fisherman, so I was happy to just pull in few.

I have tried to post a picture, but not sure if it is uploaded. If not, will try again.

Good fish, Paul. Hang in there, it's always been though fishing there for me too.

You originally from Batesville? I grew up in Newport. Graduated in 1967.

I'm always amazed when I see you guys post pics of your fish in your kitchen. I've been married nearly 20 years to the same woman, I credit part of that to not bringing fish into her kitchen ! Nice catch, thanks for the report !

Not a big deal with my wife. She helps me dress & butcher deer too. She is sure 'nuff country. She is as tough as nails too. She served 24 years in the military.

Nice

Pease tell your wife "Thank You" for your service.

I will and thanks for the thanks. She always had to out do me. I stayed in 20 and she did 24. She always had 1 more stripe than I did and constantly pulled rank on me when it was time to do the dishes. Small price to pay for what I get in the return.

I have been married to my wife for fourty years now and she has never griped about me cleaning fish in the kitchen sink. She's a 16 1/2" keeper for sure. Just put baking soda in the sink and you will never know a fish was cleaned!

I'm originally from Searcy. Graduated in 1980. We won't hold you being from Newport against you, even though you guys beat us (Batesville) in football for something like 25 years consecutive. But that tide eventually turned. We miss the rivalry. I sponsored a traveling trophy between the two teams for over 10 years called the White River Bowl giving college scholarships to the best senior players of the game. But Newport finally said they wouldn't play us anymore, can't blame them.

Yep, when I was growing up, Newport was bigger than both Searcy and Batesville. Then, one of the downtown property owners would't lease Sam Walton more retail space for his $.05 and $.10 store when he decided to start selling cheaper and more volume so Sam picked up and moved to Bentonville. I used to play tennis with him occasionally when I was coaching in Bentonville in the mid to late 70's. Now Newport is a dried up dust bowl. Sad.
