Ouachita

Nov 04 06

 Went to Ouachita with some repeat customers and had a good time.  It was pretty slow the first day. A cold front had just went thru and sloweIM000557.jpgd everthing down. On Saturday we fished for 10 hours without  catching a fish. We tried several different spots with no luck. So, Sunday morning I went to a honey hole from the past and had some  success. We ended up catching five stripers with

the

biggest about 10 lbs.  We had fished the area Saturday but not the deeper water.  Sunday we found them in 30 to 35 ft. All were caught on planner boards with small split shot on for weights. It should of been a great weekend with the water temp at 61 deg., very little wind and overcast most of the time. We did manage to see one Bald Eagle. We tried to lure him in with some discarded bait, but he didn't come very close. Overall it was a very good weekend to be out,  the fall colors were beautiful,  and it was great to be with some guys who just enjoyed being with each other and being in the outdoors.
