Hello, looking for input on our planned trip. My mom retired this year (still works a part time job). But we are dead set on a buffalo river fishing adventure after smallies and anything else we can catch. He is our plan:
Timing- mid September
Boat - 20' flat bottom
Outfitter - wild Bill's outfitter service
Duration- 4 or 5 days on the river tent camping each night as we go.
Starting point - Gilbert or Maumie
Ending point - buffalo city/white river
I plan to fish light duty tackle with 4 lb line and pitch tubes, spinner baits, crawfish etc. Also will be practicing with a fly rod that I will be borrowing for the trip (not something I have any meaningful experience with). Would consider saning for minnows each morning to have some live bait.
Would love anyone's experience and input. This was a trip my grandfather had mastered while he lived in AR but all I have is 2nd hand knowledge of how to succeed.
