PM sent........feel free to call.

Well done my friend!!!

Can you provide a phone number? Just wondering if they need more boats.

No more cranks for you guys......................nothing but blades and neds from now on!

I'm not sure you will find a guide for crappie or walleye this time of year. Just to hard to find on this pond, other than March, April and May. Most people stock the freezer with whitebass and crappie during this period. You really don't need a guide for either specie, just follow the boats. Save your guide $ for our elusive bass.

I just happen to pour a few that color. How many and what size would you like.

I bet that smallie has over 2 lbs of eggs. Talk about a pregnant mama!

REMOVAL OF DOCK BUOYS

I can't believe the Corps is even considering removing all dock buoys on the lake. With the increasing numbers of wake boats and number of people who ignore the no wake buoys, what makes the corps think they will obey a NO WAKE SIGN HANGING ON A DOCK. I would like to believe saving the life of ONE person swimming off the dock would be important enough to have buoys 100 ft from every dock. The following paragraph taken from page 16 of Corps plan: (During a report-out session, Matt Walz explained the inconsistencies and problems associated with dock buoys to the group. He explained that law currently dictates a no wake zone 100-feet from docks. As a result, dock buoys are redundant and can only be placed within 100- feet of docks. He explained that water patrol receives many calls regarding incorrect placement of buoys, and these calls distract from more pertinent matters on the lake. He suggested requiring dock owners utilize Missouri Water Patrol Signs in place of buoys; see Figure 1 for an illustration of this sign. The entire group agreed that these signs placed on the end of docks, as well as increased efforts for boater education on no wake regulations would be the best means of reducing damage to docks, boats, and shorelines from excessive wakes. The group stated that the current SMP should be reflected to suggest Missouri Water Patrol signage in lieu of current dock buoys. Additional information regarding the sign and specifications are available at: http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/WaterPatrol/Buoy/documents/noWakeSignForDock s.pdf).

Nice fish! Much bigger than anything that I've caught recently.

Babler did mention that he owed you one! Just saying..............maybe he caught you in his HONEY hole.

I think the fish will want to hit the little plopper rather than hitting the whole bait and getting hooked. I hope I'm wrong, or lots of people are going to be disappointed.

Stacey King whipping cancer and Larry Nixon getting a quadruple and a valve is just awesome. God does take care of the good guys.

Goggle eye if you're a redneck or rock bass if your a darn yankee....................coming from the best YANKEE you know.

Quill.............................you have a serious problem. Not to worry, several of us have the same issues. It could be worse in this day and age. My greatest fear is when I die, my lovely wife willl sell ALL my fishing and hunting gear, for exactly what I told her that I paid for them.

Great job and great report! You are the man, Scott! That.s a beauty this time of year. I haven't caught anything over 3 lbs in months.

I would go to Shell Knob. The James is pretty stingy right now for quality fish.

Very interesting..............thanks for posting!

Signed up as well. Thank You so much!

If you like to golf and fish, Bella Vista might be for you. If you don't golf, you may not like it. My new bride of 6 1/2 years had a home in Bella Vista and tried her best to lure me there. Just too many people for me............Table Rock or Bull Shoals are my choices. I've had a summer home on the Rock for 40 years and have lived here permanently for the last 15..

Great report and great fish.....................................but you need to smile once in a while. If I had caught those fish I would have a smile indefinitely.

Congrates to Kelly Power and Marcus Sykora! Nice to see the local boys bring home the gold.

Great report! The fish is a beauty! Man you need a litte sun.

You'll never meet a finer Gentleman in your entire life!

Great report Bill! I'm jealous....................haven't had a topwater bite in over 2 weeks on the James. I guess I'm going to have to travel, if I want some action on top.
