Back form vacation

My wife, son and I went to the Mountain Home area for Spring break. Let me just say it sucks to come off vacation. We had a great time. Thanks to the guys that made some suggestions on fishing guides. We used Red from Red's striper guide service and Harvey Hall from Hard Times guide service.(for Crappie) Fished with Red on 4-1 weather was excellent nice and sunshine my wife landed a nice twenty pound Striper. (Needless to say things were good that night.) We landed about 15 fish with Red. Red is a good guide. He tries to teach you something. I would use him again. Harvey is also good. Sets out his crappie cover. He's has a very easy to use pole balance system to indicate a bite. My son had a really good time with him. He was able to do it all on his own. All in all it was a very good time. Iwill posts pictures soon.
Thanks for the suggestions

Glad you had a good time in Arkansas. Sounds like you had some good fishing.

Sounds like yall had a good time, and we will be looking forward to the pics. And I bet that striper gave her a run for her money.

Glad you and your family had a great time in a beautiful place! Brings back a lot of good memories when our family went down in that area several times for spring breaks.

Cant wait to see the pics. I'm chomping at the bit to get down there this Friday.

Sounds like y'all had a good trip to the south. I look forward to seeing the pics...

I added pictures to the first posts.

man thats a good striper! whatcha catch it with?

We were slow trolling with live shad. Also casting live shad with no weightand just letting it swim around.

Nice pics, the sunset one is cool, and that is one huge striper. Congrats again.

Glad to hear you had a good time. Great pictures, that's one good looking striper, did he put up a fight? Sounds like you got what you came for, glad you enjoyed our Natural State here in Arkanasas, next time you decide to come down you should try and plan a trip over to beautiful Beaver Lake in NWA, maybe give JT Crappie Guide (Jason) a shot at putting you on some fish.....you don't live up near Sumner, WA do you? Used to run a shop out of Sumner (Seattle), WA.....take care, MM

We fished Beaver Lake for Stripers 3.5 years ago on our 10 anniversary. We were going to go to beaver this time but it's a long drive from Bull Shoals. That striper Wendy caught put up a pretty good fight. She landed it on 8lb. test. And yes Sumner is about 20 miles from me. Here is the Striper wendy caught at Beaver lake 3.5 years ago on our 10th.
