How we do it in Arkansas... Tornado warnings and 30mps winds...

Hi guys you wait for the lakes to lose their ice … here in arkanas we catch the fish during storms…

lol ..

Enjoy and if any of you would post at the Arkansas forums I would just eat pie…

here is the video of how we do it here in the south.

wow your nuts!!!

You’ll see the tornado coming but not the lightning.

I have to agree you are nuts.

Always thought your were freaking - crazy, now we’ve got proof. Gotta hold your lure lower still. Couldn’t see it, but I know a spinner bait when I see one. Ever slap a pork rind trailer on them? Or a swimbait paddle tail?

Now - when you’re in 30MPH winds on a frozen lake, and your tent blows over the dam and down a hill, THEN I’ll be impressed!

Just ribbing ya man. You need a heavy duty tripod me thinks! So Blair with shakey cam man! Making me dizzy!

Reminds me of a micro burst I was stuck in while out in my float tube in Idaho last year :laughing: I would crest the wave and then drop a foot and slap the water before riding the next one. I guess I’m nuts too :slight_smile: BTW, a spinnerbait was the bait that day too. I love chucking them in stormy weather.

Coyote, I use small, slender swimbaits like a Reaction Innovations Little Dipper on my spinnerbaits (and swim jigs). They’re killer. A good old 3" grub can be a good trailer too.

wow your nuts!!!

Not really, we fish in this kind of weather here in Arkansas all the time.

caught my biggest crappie right before a tornado hit the town 3 miles east of me… Pic below:

yea it was nighttime.

Caught my biggest Catfish (no pic) at the spillway during a huge storm and we had to retreat to the truck and I saw my pole bend over and ran back out to reel in my hugest blue cat with hail hitting me, lucky it was only small hail about a dime size…

lol …

yea we are kinda crazy down south but ya gotta love us… Tornadoes are part of our life here, and 30mps winds we learn to fish during that a lot. Only during july,August does it get calm and then it’s so dam hot you don’t want to fish.

lol.

I was using wavefishing.com swimbug … I cut off about half a inch so the tail didn’t go to far out from the skirt. I catch most my fish using wavewishing.com lures now. Yes they advert here and that’s how I found out about them.

wow your nuts!!!

THIS is why punctuation and spelling matter. I can’t see the picture, and without it, it really does sound like you’re just impressed with his nuts. :blush:

That’s pretty danged funny.

30mph winds is nothing haha.

Come to Wyoming and fish in 60-65mph gusts. It’s a blast.

(And no Tornado’s to worry about!)

If it was 60 mpg I’d just grab my snowboard and shred the lake with a kite. [:P]

OMG!! Thats funny, thanks for the laugh!

Dude - you are so on the money. You SHOULD watch the vid. Angle is everything. Why I suggest a tripod., Can’t see the lure, but . . .

I have a site/shot the demonstrates, but - well, . . . I should know better. Some of our ice adventures TRULY went nuts I can say. Tents and buckets blowing across the ice, and then some.

I’ve had a few tangles in weather I shoulda known better. Have yet to experience St. Elmos Fire, but been darned close!

Stupid is as stupid does. What can I say. I should have a pic for this, but I’ll refrain . . .
