Did you troll any? Bobby

Got out for an hour each evening right before sunset. Found fish half way back in a creek in about 40 fow over 60 fow. around lots of bait fish. On 11/30 the bait was thick on the bottom but today was high in the water column. Yesterday slab spoon worked and today, shad shaped worm. More importantly for me, been duck hunting the last three weeks with OK success but it will be better with cold weather. Some fish pics and one pic of my new lab (first year out). Bobby

Bo, Can you post the link here?

Why don't we take up a collection and stock TR ourselves?😁

Years ago some friends built some private ponds and bought bass and catfish to stock them or you could get them free from MDC but if you took the free ones from MDC you had to let anybody fish your pond and the MDC published where they where. I don't know if that program still exist but I would guess that you can buy bass somewhere.

Was a reason given for this and if so do you guys agree?

What is the number One issue OAF has with the MDC? or the one or two things OAF wants done? i.e. TR stocking? What is the number one objection? Money? It might be helpful if MDC gets a ton of emails or calls regarding one of two major issues? How hard is it to send a bunch of emails? Bobby

why? can you explain? Thanks

Thanks to all for the input - I can now put my Christmas list together. Has anybody tried that liquid filled crank - SOB? utube demo sound promising - need crawdad color?

caught a few on the drop shot the other day - they were still in the gut of the main lake pockets last night but would not cooperate even with crawlers. Think crawlers or shad spaded worm or slab spoon could work - also try backing off and work the bait horizontally. also try curly tail grub. OR go to the banks. Bobby

You guys are really bumming me out. I went out yesterday afternoon and just looked around for fish. Found some on the locator in a few places but they were NOT interested in what I offered. Maybe I just wasn't doing it right. Here's an idea (which is what I do) - fish in the time of the year when they pre-spawn/spawn and when they school up in the summer and go duck hunting in the Fall/Winter. 😊 PS I love this lake and the area - Taney and BS too. - I call it paradise. Bobby

This time of the years my wife asks me what I want for Christmas. Sometimes I give her a list of fishing lures (make, model, and sku#) from Tackle Warehouse. So my question is: What is your favorite (most productive) Spro 110 and RKCrawler colors? Thanks Bobby

Unfortunately, I had to leave just shortly after I found them - they won't be there tomorrow, they probably left before I got back to my dock.

Got out this afternoon (after being stuck at home repairing the deck for the last few days) but after reading Bill's post didn't have much hope, but thought just a boat ride with my new lab pup would be nice. Tried the Wart on some chuck rock secondary points, then the A-rig around some cedars in a couple spots. Saw some a little surface activity in the middle of a pocket that I was working the cedars thus trying the Rig there, nada. Found fish suspended in the middle of the pocket and caught this nice SM on a slab spoon but had to leave shortly thereafter.
