Couldn't stand it any longer!

I've been checking out this site for a couple of months now, but just couldn't stand not registering any longer. I'm a moderator on a hunting board, so I have my spare time taken up quite a bit with that. From what I can tell, many of you are from around east Arkansas and fish some of the same places I do. Burnt Cane, Horseshoe, Lost Lake, Midway, Whitehall, Old Town, the Refuge, and just about any other place I can find a cypress tree! I've already learned a lot from several of you, and have probably seen some of you on the lakes. I hope to learn a lot more! I live in Forrest City, and teach agriculture in Wynne.

Welcome aboard, Polebender. This is a good, well-managed website. I like to fish a lot of those lakes that you regularly fish. I just don't get to fish them as regularly as I want. Give us some reports when you get out there.

Welcome Polebender!!:)

Welcome Polebender. Have you fished Burnt Cane this year. I fished it a lot last year after Horseshoe got so low. I did pretty well but haven't been over there this year. Would like a report on it before driving over from Marion to fish.

Thanks,
LRM

Welcome to the site Polebender, from lower Arkansas. Look forward to your posts.

Welcome aboard, There's a lot to learn here....:D

Welcome to the board. Look forward to your post.

What kind of hunting forum are you the moderator for?

My depthfinder is a Humminbird of some sort--I think--I'll have to check and see just what it is I've got.

As far as Burnt Cane--which we call 9-mile, this year hasn't been too good for me yet. The last year and a half or so was great though. With the recent rains, the lake is pretty muddy. It's better closer to the ramp, but gets muddier the farther you go. The latest report I've heard from one local that fishes it regularly is they are near the bank, in about a foot of water. Okay---There's my honeyhole tip---am I in now???? By the way, the local wildlife officers are checking fishermen pretty close out there now. There have been several reports of folks catching over the limit for the last year or two, and they're watching. Catch a mess, count 'em up, and go!

Welcome aboard, this site has a lot to offer.

Hey polebender, here is an excellent article written by Jerry Blake, moderator of the AR board. He gives in-depth instructions for getting the most out of your depthfinder. Best thing to do is print these instructions off, take 'em to the lake with you, and spend a couple of hours fine-tuning your set-up on the water. http://www.crappie.com/gr8vb3/showthread.php?t=27679
