Wish all best of luck at the OA tourney. Would like to make it some day. Remember it only takes one bite of the right kind to win. Just maybe the weather will cooperate.

Prayers from our family.

Different tools for different tasks. And I don’t mind using superglue.

Response from AGFC today; Thanks for your question. Yes legally taken fish may be transported through our state with the licenses you stated. As long as the fish also meet length and limit numbers specific to the body of waters where the fish were taken.

You need a MO Resident Fishing Permit to be able to buy a Border Lakes permit? Don't think so if you are 65+ or have a Lifetime Permit.

With a MO license & a BLP, if you launch and take out in AR, can you legally possess fish while in AR traveling in your truck back to MO?

A little warmer water up by Gale in the late winter, as well as pretty clear water much of the time. But just no fish there to speak of.

I have a complete bogus board set up as you enter my fish tackle area. Anything to steer "friends" in the wrong direction and get them to spend valuable cash on worthless baits. Actual baits I use are stored in the boat. What? Don't you know that if you don't have 250 pounds of baits in your boat your odds of a successful outing are very poor? Happy New Year all!

Unless they’re real hungry.

Thanks for the report. Some encouragement!

Only have 2 different size Duos that haven't used yet. I could see them as alternate baits for located fish that you've worn out on otherbaits. Kinda what was done in the elite tourneys recently. Will try in couple of weeks on schools we locate. Nice finish on these baits.

What brand/ model are you all talking about? Do you put them all in same category as far as success?

Our condolences and prayers for Mary and the entire family. He was a long time friend of our family. His kindness of heart and soft-spoken demeanor will be long remembered. Rest in Peace, Bill Beck!

Just need a less snag prone version. That bait sitting motionless / suspended in late winter/ early spring could find good bite.
