Man Oh Man! This has been the craziest weather I have ever seen in Arkansas this spring Heavy rains and SNOW this last week has brought the lake up and also dropped the surface temperature a few degrees with the highest water I can find about 57 degrees! Most bass are holding in 10-15 feet of water with swim-baits and Alabama rigs catching some nice fish. Big John Tournament was won by Keith Daffron and Ryan Patterson with 5 fish 14 1/2 pounds to win GREAT Job in the snow guy's!! Lake level is 665.03 and the corps is running 8 generators around the clock dropping it about 1/3 of a foot each day now. The best bait on the river is white worms and shad as the shad are coming through heavy right now just be careful as the flow rates are almost 24,000 cubic feet per second! Pat's surgery went great with her being able to go to church just 6 days after total hip-replacement Thanks for all your prayers and thought's! GOD Bless Tim & Pat Curtis!
