This Thursday my Dad and I are leaving for the Ouachita river in Arkansas to try our luck for some big fish! We will be setting limb lines up and down the river and fishing from the sand bar we decide to camp on. Any of you ever fish the Ouachita? Anyways, I'll post and update next Monday!

Update; Had many boat troubles to start the trip, got that fixed and found a camping spot. After this we caught TONS and I mean bucket fulls of shad. Then we fished! First fish was from Dad, had a 25 lber that broke off lifting into the boat. Then I caught a 10#. And from there it was all eaters. Saw at least 5 bald eagles and a couple dozen deer. All in all it was a great trip and a beautiful area
