  1. Boy og boy how I could get started on bass fishermen who think they own the lake. I've lost hundreds and hundreds of $$$$$ to them. They are always highly visible and marked. Yet way too often are cut or pulled or better yet i catch people checking them and they motor off when they notice I'm coming. It's the same feeling a person gets when walking into your deerstand early morning and someone has stolen it.
  2. Id be interested to know how you prove a walleye was caught on a trotline or limb line.
  3. Now you're gonna have to add: 1 saved dog to the fishing success graph at the end of the videos
  4. Ok thanks, I wasn't sure if he was doing walleye trips or not. Good luck tomorrow.
  5. Lots of good flatheads in Tablerock, my biggest was 60+ pounds. I had a 23 pounder that got lodged in its mouth while in the bottom of the boat. Most are obviously smaller in the 3-5 pound range.
  6. I've caught hundreds of catfish from Tablerock, never a blue cat.
  7. There is no other standard options. Best bet would be to float down to hootentown but it has the party crowd.
  8. It's tough to find good bank access that's worth the effort. Gotta get away from the access. But maybe you can do better.
  9. You'd probably be best off floating from horse creek down to galena.
  10. Congrats on the walleye and sorry you lost the couple other nice fish, next time dont use older hooks with dull barbs, haha. That was me and my kids down there fishing next to you. Congrats on the nice fish
  11. I have a friend who has snagged spoonbill below power site dam on the bluff side
  12. I fished yesterday evening and was really surprised by how dirty the water was! There was even small trees coming through the gates.
  13. If you're using a hat, you're not finding enough.
  14. Wow, I was pretty much kidding. Now Iim second guessing using it.
  15. I was surprised it made it all the way down to bull shoals without getting snagged somewhere on taneycomo.
  16. I found this on the bank down on Bull Shoals. I figured someone here might recognize it, lol.
  17. The owner at McCall bridge is a great guy and a friend of mine. Unless things have changed, he will let people in and out at that bridge. But you have to talk to him beforehand. He lives in the house overlooking the river next to the bridge.
  18. Well judging by those pics, I think fishing is canceled today.
  19. I was gonna make a snide comment about what they said about buying store bought mushrooms but thought I'd keep my mouth shut, lol.
  20. I've been hunting almost 40 years here in SWMO. I used to only hunt 1 type of area, sycamore trees. After I opened my mind, I realized they can be found anywhere. However there are some places that are overwhelmingly better than others. Here's my list of my best places to look. Sycamore trees which are not in a major river bottom. It seems the best trees are in well drained area's. Especially at the head of a ditch. Dead elm trees. But then it's only a small percentage of them that will grow mushrooms. And they have to be recently dead with the bark just starting to peel off. They're generally a 1 and done spot, only producing once. But if you find 1, you'll find 30. Ash trees are another good place to look. However most times they just have a few at best. I did find 22 at an ash tree this year which was a surprise. Oak trees on a north facing hill and almost always will be on the lower end of the tree. It seems the steeper the hill, the better chance of finding some. Cedar glades on real wet years. My best seasons are this type of year. I'll find 3 times a normal year but it's a rare occurrence. Usually right where the water comes seeping off the hill at a bluff line and below. With all this said, you can find them randomly at any place at times. I've found them on rocks, logs, in junk piles, even got 1 in a styrofoam cooler.
