More Spearfishing on Bull Shoals - Our Limit of Walleye
Posted by Darrell under: SPEARFISH HUNTING!.
Jeff, Mike, and I spent this past Sunday spearfishing at Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas (AGAIN). We left the Bull Shoals Boat Dock at 6:30 am and were excited to be on the water so early. A common belief is that spearfishing is best early in the morning because that is when the catfish are […]

Buying Your Spearfishing Gear
Posted by Darrell under: SPEARFISH HUNTING!.
I’ve received several emails from individuals asking me where they can get spearfishing gear. I buy most of my gear from LEISURE PRO.
In addition to your normal scuba gear, you will need a speargun, a fish stringer that can be used easily underwater, a good dive knife, and preferably a good pair of gloves. I also like to […]

Rick, an AlphaTrilogy reader recently sent me this photo along with a brief story. Rick wrote:
“Last year I went on a wilderness pack hunt in the Tetons of North-Western Wyoming. It was super dry and not many elk were seen. Though the hunting was tough, we did end up with 4 out of 7 hunters in […]

Spearfishing Lake Ouachita - Central Arkansas
Posted by Darrell under: SPEARFISH HUNTING!; Arkansas.
Last week, several friends and I (along with our families) headed down to Lake Ouachita in Central Arkansas for a little R&R. We rented a houseboat for the 11 of us and headed out onto the magnificent lake.
To be honest, most of our time was spent simply relaxing. Relaxing for us inlcudes: swimming, wakeboarding, hillbilly […]

A Spearfishing Virgin Steals The Show
Posted by Darrell under: SPEARFISH HUNTING!.
Travis, my spearfishing virgin friend, stole the show on June 17th - the third day of Arkansas spearfishing. I often write on how much fun it is to teach someone how to hunt of fish. Travis had four veteran spearfishing teachers. I must say that, in this case, the student schooled the teachers.
Travis limited out […]

Spearfishing - Opening Weekend - Bull Shoals Lake, Arkansas
Posted by Darrell under: SPEARFISH HUNTING!.
We almost missed opening weekend of spearfishing in Arkansas. Jeff and I were in Texas with our families visiting our friend Thad and his wife. We were having a great time in Texas, hillbilly surfing on Lake Austin and floating one of the local rivers.
But, much to our wive’s dismay, Jeff and I flew back […]

Oh, How I Love Those Spring Toms - Another Missouri Spring Turkey Season
Posted by Darrell under: Turkey.
Ok, so you think you are a hunter. Yeah, me too. The problem is, and has been for some time now, that the turkeys in my neck of the woods don’t agree. They routinely make a laughing stock of me.
Missouri’s Spring Turkey Season just recently ended. I spent as much time as I could out […]

Pictures of My Two Turkeys Taken Friday Morning - One Has 11 1/2″ Beard!
Posted by Darrell under: Turkey; Hunting Stories.
Have you ever planned a morning hunt and then over slept? I have. I did. I was sick. As I drove out to the cabin yesterday morning, I was having a hard time keeping a positive attitude. I overslept by about an hour and I was afraid my hunt was ruined. I didn’t make it to my […]
