  1. I don't work anymore There were a lot of boats out there today, but last Friday there were even more, I believe. Wake boats and cruisers are starting to make their appearance also.
  2. It was definitely slower today, especially early.
  3. Got out fishing with my buddy Jeb today, Jeb has been busy with commitments and is still recovering from a broken collarbone, but sling and all, he was fishing today. Funny thing is, he's right handed, it's his right collarbone that is broken, so he was casting with his left arm, and he was in the back of the boat - but in spite of all that, he nearly caught as many bass as I did. Anyway, fishing was much slower today than it was before this front came in. Early morning was especially tough, but later in the morning the sunny banks with some breeze on them put out some fish. We did OK, caught 50 or so between the two of us, fairly small fish, maybe 8 -9 keepers total. 6" Zoom lizards worked best, whether on the wobble head, t-rigged or c-rigged. Caught a few on the jig, but they just were not eating it like they were before. A few on the Ned also. Saw some beds with males on them. Water temps were 59 early to 64 in the afternoon.

    Baseball!

    I watched the Yanks/Sox game last night (and will watch tonight also), Pineda, coming out in the 2nd inning to pitch with that 6" streak of pine tar on the side of his neck was some funny stuff. I can't figure out what he was thinking, maybe he wanted to get tossed?
  5. Some nice quality fish, Bill is really on them. It's amazing to me, considering the pressure that these fish have been under the last couple of weeks, that they are keeping up this bite. it seems that every day the banks reload with bass.
  6. Excellent - glad to see you guys are whacking them! Beautiful day to be on the water, wish I was out there today.
  7. Well the fishing is so good now that even I can catch them. I've thought about picking up a box of Wheaties and doing some carp fishing, but I'd probably do it closer to home.

    Today's Hunt

    Very nice, congrats!
  9. All the water from one mile above Big M to point 23 is that brown color, but the fish are liking it.
  10. The tube is in retirement until the water gets cold. I agree, the bite is on!
  11. That is one big crappie! Happy to hear you guys did well.
  12. The bass are still biting, caught a bunch, close to 50. I got a late start, waited for the fog to burn off here at home, so I did not get started until 9:30 and fished until 5:00 PM. 3/8 oz GP/Orange jig is still working, Ned is working - but better fish overall on the jig. Late in the day I threw a 3/8 oz wobble head with a 6" GP Zoom lizard and they were eating that well. Threw a 3XD in orange belly craw for just a bit and picked up a few on it. Water is fairly murky up the White in the Big M area, maybe 3 feet of viz. Water temps were 65 around point 23 and a bit cooler, 62-63 up river from Big M a mile or so. The warmer water was where the mama spots were, caught 7 -8 in the 15" 17" range in 5 -10 FOW on the jig. Had one LM that was about 2 lbs., and a 20" walleye that fell for a jig. I brought some red worms with me, fished them on a drop shot set up on a ledge bank that I had caught a couple of gills on last week. It spent about an hour gill fishing and caught a dozen that were big enough to keep, including a couple of 9" bull gills. The rest were 7"-8". Took 10 home along with the walleye for the frying pan. No pics, forgot my camera, no exceptional bass anyway, but may have shown a gill pic had I brought the camera. I bet tomorrow will be a great day, south wind, water in the 60's. I'm not going, but if any of you can get out, go get them!
  13. Ok, so it wasn't my mind playing tricks on me (Whew!). Or walleye guys hacking my posts because they are mad at me for releasing walleye.
  14. I made some posts on some of the topics earlier today and they appear to be gone. I also noticed that it appears some of the posts others made earlier are gone also - anyone else notice this?
  15. Excellent, good to hear they are on the gravel points.
  16. Seems useless to write or email the Corp. Once they decide to shut stuff down they do it no matter what, the bureaucratic mind is incapable of creative thinking. Best thing to do is contact local politicians and get them to wrangle with the Corp.
  17. Thanks for the report, sounds like a great day! I saw a lot of that orange algae stuff upstream of point 23 in the White river channel. It did not appear to hurt the fishing in that area, but I've never seen it so bad.
  18. Thanks for the report, those are some quality spots!
  19. Thanks for the reminder! Recording it now.
  20. Thanks for the report, I wasn't out there, did some yard work today. But I bet there were a few boats on the lake today - what a gorgeous day!
  21. Somebody must have read these comments about the Fish Arrows - out of stock, just one pack left! LOL!
  22. That's a heck of a gill, I'd like to get about a dozen of those for the frying pan. I'm going to have to pick up some red worms and give it a shot.
  23. Anyone know what he's getting paid at Tulsa? Seems a bit of a downgrade to me for a coach, going from Mizzou to Tulsa, but maybe he got a fat contract? He must have seen the writing on the wall. It just doesn't make sense from a resume building perspective.
