Bull Shoals White River Trout Fishing

We spent 2 days trout fishing on the White River while camping in the Bull Shoals White River State Park. Shawn was our river guide for Gaston's Resort and he was excellent! He really put us on the fish on our second day out. We also enjoyed a great catch, clean and cook shore lunch on our second day out. Abby caught a lot of really nice fish including a big 20" rainbow trout. This is always a fun time and we certainly enjoyed our trip there this year!

You had an excellent guide!

[@Garth2011]

Sean seemed to be a truly nice guide...energetic and friendly. (rare)

[@sharone982]

We can attest to that personally. He was funny and friendly even in the freezing cold and is so knowledgeable.

[@teambigv]

If you have never been on a guided fishing trip it's awesome!

[@leebarnhart831]

Abby is a fishing machine. It's fun watching you guys. Bet it's really fun being there.

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

Hope you enjoyed thanks for sharing

[@tooljunkie1937]

Definitely want to go there some day

[@shawnwhite7739]

You will not regret it. World class fishery

[@mike_adams]

Sure looked fun! Glad y’all were successful. Nothing better than fresh fried fish.

[@blakecrawford5101]

Can’t remember if I mentioned before, Gaston’s is owned my by dad’s childhood best friend. We are a family of fly fishermen, been down there a million times. So much fun to see the old river valley!

[@twobusyliving6641]

You both are our favorites to watch. Love the videos!

[@GastonsWhiteRiverResort]

Great video! Thank you for sharing your fishing experience on the White River! We hope to see you again next year.

[@AbomAdventures]

We definitely loved our visit this year and Shawn make our experience fun and enjoyable!

[@BrianEltherington]

Very enjoyable video as always Adam. Thank you!

[@shawnwhite7739]

I had the pleasure of spending two days with Adam and Abby, I can’t wait to do it again… White River in Gods country at Gaston’s While River Resort we’re it truly is a First Class Time Every Time 🎣💪🏻

[@AbomAdventures]

Great to hear from you Shawn! Thanks again for the great trip fishing! We enjoyed it and look forward to doing it again with ya! 👍🏻

[@sharone982]

HIGHLY recommend Shawn as a guide! We had the best day and will definitely return! The Chalmers are big fans of his! I never will bait a hook again after Shawn spoiled me!

[@shawnwhite7739]

Thank you Sweet Friend ❤️

[@amykehoe2078]

Looks like a chilly but good time!

[@elwynsmith5092]

WOW lots of great fishing and catching ! ! FUN to watch ! !

[@elwynsmith5092]

FUN to WATCH ! !

[@WreckDiver99]

There is nothing better than fresh caught pan fried. I really want to do this, but I know my wife would be "nope". I just love how they work that place, the guides seem to be just AMAZING. I've been on more than one charter where the "guide" and "captain" are the same, and they are "you don't know what you're doing, get out of here". No, your job is also to help teach, especially since you said all levels from never fishing to experts are welcome. Lots of rude guides out there, so I'm really impressed with this place, they just seem to be really down to earth and WANT to help and teach! BTW: Roe is really good, especially FRESH Roe. It isn't for everybody, that's for sure.

[@AbomAdventures]

The guides are here to take you fishing, teach you how to fish if you don’t know, help bait your hooks, safely remove the fish for you and even clean them if you want. From what I’ve seen all the guides there are great and will provide 1 on 1 service. Shawn was excellent btw! 👍🏻

[@WreckDiver99]

@@AbomAdventures That's how it looked to me...So personable. I did a Salmon fish in San Francisco and the "guide" was a total a$$. Yelling at everybody, telling people if they don't know what they are doing to get in the cabin area and leave it to those that know. The deck cleared...he was such an a$$. The captain came out, grabbed him and then had everybody back out on deck. He "tried" to apologize, but yea...nobody was in the mood after that, and it was about $500 per head on that boat. Had a similar experience in the Great Lakes twice...Just makes for a lousy intro to fishing. If they hate their job so much, why do it then. I need to get my wife down there to try it, or my son and I can go and leave her at the lodge! :)

[@thething4763]

You have got to go on tuna charter! Talk about fishing mayhem...

[@cooperdog8371]

Gave you a 👍 before I even watched. You had a terrific guide. We are only a couple of hours from there, and from your videos, on my must list. John, Springfield, MO

[@bartoszpucilowski4051]

Well done! good catch. Now cooking :-)

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Probably going to book a trip to to go here Adam!! Excellent video

[@jimlebiedz5723]

Jealous! Happy for you!

[@cayde7469]

Me and my family went fishing on the white river a few years back. There was 6 of us and we caught over 150 rainbow trout in one day. Our guide just used canned corn and shrimp as bait which worked super well.

[@tonynagy2042]

I can relate to this Adam. We have a world famous rainbow trout river here, and so many awesome lakes for fishing. When the kids were younger, we would go day camping and eat pan fried fish right out of the water. The good ole days for sure🥰. This video brought back some wonderful memories for me Thank you, and enjoy those rainbows, they are the best eating trout in my honest opinion. Cheers, Blessings 👏👏👍. ps Abby that picture is 'priceless'❤👍👍.

[@richb313]

Great episode showing the scenery and the fishing. I just wonder how many fish a year that Bald Eagle scores from fisherman as they are about to land their catch?

[@rasdamaan]

What an epic day of fishing! Good on ya both! Glad you saved the roe. My grandpa was mullet fisherman from the Homosassa area and we ate mullet dang near every meal. My favorite meal was when grandma fried up the yellow roe with grits.

[@AbomAdventures]

Yep I grew up eating that. We had mullet often and anytime they had roe dad would keep it and fry it up too.

[@rasdamaan]

By the by... I snail-mailed you a letter regarding a repair to a cast iron skillet with a broke handle I need fixin. Did you receive it?

[@tonyn3123]

You've got to try just wrapping an un-filleted (but cleaned) rainbow in aluminum foil with a little mayo on the grill for a 5-6 minutes each side and peel the skin back and just eat away. Delicious. Good video and made my mouth water since I am a trout fisherman. I was there last year on a whim and certainly not dressed for the weather to go fishing. Stayed at a Gaston cabin one night. Plan to do a trip this year. It is a great river and location!

[@AbomAdventures]

I’ve got some of our other fish cleaned and in the freezer. I’m certainly going to try them cooked whole like that. 👍🏻

[@Bagooda]

Loved this video. That shore lunch looked awesome.

[@margochilcott9374]

I camp and fish there.

[@daviddavis3134]

Great video... Always fun watching someone catching fish! Has it already been a year since you were last there?

[@MoondyneJoe]

Abbey seems to be just like my late stepfather when it comes to fishing, When we used to go out fishing no matter how many people in the boat Gordon would be pulling double and triple headers while everyone else wouldn't catch a fish. We were sure he painted a target on his side of the boat!! He had the touch alright. That was around 40+ years ago I haven't fished in that long, I am also like Abbey I love animals to much, knowing that I am a carnivore, I live in conflict of hurting animals and needing to eat, so any pets or wild animals I have under my stewardship I they come first as I have taken on the responsibility of caring for them (he says with 4 geriatric cats born on my property 3 @ 22+ & 1 @ 23+) Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@lindarainey5759]

Abbey, I have a marshmallow shirt too! I call it my Fozzy Bear shirt! 😂 Congratulations on your successful fishing trip!

[@thefixerofbrokenstuff]

Boy, I'd love it if you would do a meet up sometime when you are in the Mtn Home, West Plains, Bull Shoals area. You have plenty of viewers here that would like to shake your hand.

[@bertkelly7650]

What bait were you guys using?

[@AbomAdventures]

Chad

[@ohhpaul7364]

Is this a new recent trip or the one you took a few years ago? I don't remember you catching so many fish the first time.

[@shawnwhite7739]

They had a really great guide 😜

[@youmanskids]

the White River is great!!

[@michaelhe34]

Really enjoyed the video. Do you know what kind of boats they use? Awesome setup with the removable chairs .

[@AbomAdventures]

I believe the brand Top Water.

[@shawnwhite7739]

Topwater is the Brand Awesome River boats

[@adamprentiss4038]

I’m considering a catch and cook weekend trip here in November. Are there good spots for bank fishing or wading or am I gonna have to go out on the water?

[@AbomAdventures]

I've seen several people fishing near the boat launch in the state park and catch trout.

[@kubrent]

Have you tried fly fishing? I’ve watched several of your Colorado videos. Safe travels!

[@perrymalcolm3802]

How much did that Goodman install n 2 hours work cost??

[@larasurfus2985]

Hi there! Wonder if you might do an episode on the "after cook" showing how you clean, protect and store your gear. You have inspired us to do more cooking while camping!! Just purchased a smokey joe. Also, are you happy with your convection over, and if so what is the brand? Thanks for sharing your lives with us!!! Lara and Eric Surfus, Middletown, OH

[@SgtCude59]

Good day y’all what’s the name of camp grounds
