Ham

I can think of several things that would cheer me up a lot more than starting a fire. Legal between consenting adults as well.

on a positive note, orange is a good color on her.

you'll get nothing and like it.

Text me CC and tell me what you want.

No clue. I'm not on a lake these days. Creeks and rivers until October/November.

Beetle Spin without the spinner.

Heck Man, if I lived closer I would just buy you a few to try.

Hey Griz, I'll run you a hose, but you'll have to hang onto your poop. I'll let you in the house to potty and shower. We have a fire pit you are welcome to use. I'll try to have seasoned fire wood on hand for you. Ham ps : close to White River and Crooked Creek.

Wow John that's really awful.

Hey Mike, I hope it works out for you, but I wouldn't even get that you would be free of that scourge at 3 in the morning.

The recent change in pool level for Bull Shoals makes water in the bushes a full time proposition. I believe flipping jigs or soft plastics into the bushes for these fish will be a good option. I want to acquire a good combo for flipping and pitching. I have a bunch of MH rods already and it may be that I have a good fishing rod at the house already. I use to make do with others. I imagine some of the time I will be using fluro/ co-poly, but some of the time I will be using braid. I would imagine I want the rod to be at least 7 foot long. I would also imagine I want a higher speed reel. I'm looking for persuasive arguments for rod length/ action. I little slower rod might pitch a little better. I'm hoping to get some very specific reel recommendations as well.

I don't think you can ever count on no water skiers or jet skiers on Table Rock after 6/1 until about 9/7.

Still waiting on that full write up. Busy I guess.

No worries Jim. Good Luck! I hope you catch a bunch.

My wife and I keep toying with the idea of buying a trailer. So far we have not. She loves the look of the smaller Airstreams (< 25 foot). I'm not sure that we will ever get one, but I am having 50 amp electric service put in next to my boat barn in case friends or family want to visit with a camper and plug in.

My advice is to not worry about them. You are going to lose some lures. More if you fish the upper lake. a lot less on the lower end, but there are Zebra mussels spread all over the lake. I fished the upper third of the lake during April. Zebra mussels where everywhere you looked. I think I got broken off 3 or 4 times over the course of the day. I think I caught about 30 bass. So yeah, its a problem, but not a deal breaker.

I think Mojo Rig said they had been found > 40 FOW

I'm tipping jigs with Gulp or Road Runner heads with Gulp. I'm not trolling them or fishing them in place of live bait.

I fink it covers you for all the COE lakes, but a call to a COE office answers that question.

I absolutely believe Power Bait and Gulp work for panfish and catfish. I think they work for walleye. I am uncertain about bass, but at worst it is not a negative for bass. I used the old, old, old product Berkley Strike. I would apply it to panfish jigs. You got bit immediately, but it did not stay on bait long at all. FWIW, I absolutely hate the smell of Gulp Alive. It's a messy product and hard not to have it spill, but it works. Kick N Bass smells so bad that I don't care if it catches fish or not. I refuse to use it. I threw what I bought into the garbage after using it one time. Awful.

You can get a COE pass for the year or pay a fee at some of the ramps, but some ramps don't require it. I buy the annual pass and hang on my rear view mirror anytime I go to a boat launch. The Mtn Home office has the passes. Check or Cash I think. $40 if I remember correctly.

Is there a buffet?

I needed to bring MH that I could lean on them with. I was happy to get out with only one broken fishing pole.

It's good to have friends. Share the pic. I deleted my copy of it, but I could always re-photograph the pieces if it helps. I'll follow my instructions and wait to tell my "version" of it. Its been a tough year for my fishing gear. My cousin broke 4 inches off the end oof one of my Browning Air Stream rods Monday afternoon. Back to my Dorber's for now.

I don't really think you're giving away the store when you talk about stripers/hybrids in a tailrace. Pretty common knowledge.
