I find that a 3 million candlepower beam directly into their face, makes my presence more easily seen. 
 
The shoal is going to be lit up like an airport now. I think i'll anchor nearby, this will be fun to watch.

i havent been to arthur since the 70's I have been wanting to get up there but i have to get the 60 of the boat and the 9.9 on it. so when i do i will post that i am ready and spoon and bighead if you could just post when you will be there so i can follow you around the lake and just stealth into "your spot"  like i told my buddy its called fishing for a reason not catching i bought a boat so i could get out to spots that i can't fish from shore . i bought a fish finder with a gps so i could help my chances.  not that the fish finder is going to mark every fish in the lake or i going to catch every fish it marks. I didnt get a boat to drive up and throw at the people on shore or sit beside another boat. if you guys could just make it easier and set out markers fish here for musky or fish here for striper it would be a great help. i could sell the fish finder save gas money oh and please note on the marker what bait to use otherwise i would just be throwing blanks

On another note, previously mentioned. Please use diligence in reviving ANY fish you catch durring these hot days. There are fish kills across the country from high water temps, and the resulting low O2 levels ( with out the added stress of battling an angler ). One tennesseee lake saw a kill of 10,000 gills.
 
Oh, and those buoys in front of the da m at Arthur, with the word RESTRICTED on them. Mean STAY OUT.

hmm not quite sure how to take all that. was I just called a snotty arsed little girl and a sap ? perhaps the intent of my post was misunderstood i was trying to agree with you wilst poking some fun at the people that do the type of things that was being complained about on this thread. but if everyone is 100 percent literal 100 percent of the time i will keep that in mind for future post
thank you for your time and input

Wanna_ Fish take it as you will. your post is  Very typical as the norm on here. If you looking for tips on lures/bait,spots your post is not the way to do so. But just this one time I will help ya out  go buy some night crawlers,6inch stick bobber,worm inflater.  Inflate night crawler,cast as far as you can (not at a another boat,shore fishermen) retrieve in a JERKING motion and there you have it GOOK LUCK   Oh yeah for ths spot ahhhh just go where ya see all the boat lights

wow ! ok then. i wasnt even going to respond to that but its my nature to do so. chances of me making it to arthur this year are slim but if i should and if i should run into you i will buy you a beer or a soda,water, ice cream cone or what ever just my way of saying thanks. and just so we are straight i wasnt looking for tips or spots and naw i think if i do make it to arthur i will look for my own spot to fish and stay away from all the boat lights. I did however learn not to try and post some humor on here.
 
if your ever in the Monroeville area gimme a shout

i totally understand catchnfish. I quit fishing for many years due to rude people. as i stated in my first post its called fishing not catching. my buddy will ask everone he sees questions were & what even at that he is respectfull of boundries. but if he is not catching fish he wants to go. as i also stated i got a boat and a fish finder to help my chances in areas i havent fished before. i was trying to be totally off the wall by suggesting to mark areas and what bait to use. if there are people at arthur are like this i dont want to go there. spoon and bighead seemed like they fished the lake a lot thats the only reason i referanced them. it was not my intention to P.O. anyone.
 
 
 
when asked " are you seriouse ? "   almost never

 A good bit ov the time I fish it in solitude & sometimes I fish it near or watch other anglers. It's my choice & very simple either way. A lot ov times if I venture towards the "rude" ones they might be great guys having fun their way while fishing & not "rude" at all. Just out to have a good time & can be a howl if you take the time to talk to 'em & can be super great guys or gals. Not every fisher out their has to be serious while fishin' & I can be right up there with the best "Bull Crappers" on the lake "rude" & have a blast & still catch plenty ov fish doing so. It's all good to me except the litter bugs, & my one kid that is trying to be Angler ov the Year for the lake
 
Fishin' is Fun
  crappy

One PF&BC boat on the water just out from the launch. Another boat & a couple of officers AT the launch, and the road TO the launch blocked off. Assuming they are still searching as of 15 minutes ago.

 He was found this evening 'bout 40' from the dock
