  1. He did things in the wrong order when closing a car door.
  2. Its just a little too far away for me to spend much time on it. I would be interested in kayaking it.
  3. IF you are going to change boats, I'd go up to a 48 inch at least. I won't own another trout boat under 48 inches wide, but that's just me.
  4. I certainly don't want there to be flooding on Taneycomo or anywhere else. Is the carrying capacity on TR so minimal that they can not handle 925? What is normal pool level on TR? I was thinking it was 916 and that 925 would give you lots of cover to throw surface plugs and obnoxious spinerbaits around. I thought I remembered fishing it at tthat level before and catching a lot of fish. I know we caught a lot of fish, maybe I am not remembering the water level correctly.
  5. That sucks. I try not ot worry about it, but it is always a possibility that our vehicles will be vandalised when parked in remote areas. I've been lucky up to this point. No reason for it at all. None of your behavior was wrong or inappropriate in any way and nothing justifies damaging someone's else's property.
  6. Man that beetle grub without a spinner is really dropping off in effectiveness, you guys only caught 43 bass in 6 hours of fishing. Sorry it was so slow. I'm sure it was good to be out on the water anyway.
  7. I'd like 925 better.
  8. Lol
  9. Man, TFR, I can decide if you are Chocken Little or Mother Hen. The rain is gonna fall and the lakes are gonna come up. If you live in low lying areras " Turn around, don't drown". I refuse to worry about it. I know streams that clear up fast and I planned on fishing Bull until middle of June anyway.
  10. Or you could just make a decision when you catch the fish out of hot water, to a) release them or keep them. IF you are gonna kep them, then on ice will have them firmed up nicely for cleaning when you get home.
  11. Sounds Great. I remember when I used to fish. Vaugely.
  12. That's less than I would have thought. Dont add a lot of weight with a motor and depth finders and anchor systems and STUFF.
  13. How much does it weigh TFR?
  14. I've been on the BAD end of the stick of jet boaters on three different rivers (so far). I own a jet boat AND I in general think most jet operators are not as considerate as they should be. BUT there are places on the river where the jet boater has little choice but to stay on plane. He (or she) may spot you too late to get off the throttle without damaging their boat. They may annoy the heck out of you, but I don't blame someone for not wanting to tear their stuff up.
  15. I don't see the set for the front.
  16. I think that riffle is a little skinny to float thru. Gonna HAVE TO GET OFF AND DRAG A LITTLE.
  17. Glad I hit it when I did.
  18. I launched earlier this year when the lake was 668'. The ramp was usable, but you had to hunt and peck for the ramp and have all 4 tires on your truck wet to get the boat off the trailer. That day you were wading to the courtesy dock as well. I'm gonna call that about my "Max".
  19. I talked with a very nice gentleman that has turned his sole focus to walleye years ago. He is in the Twin Lakes Walleye Club. Fishing is a major passion for him and all of that energy is being spent figuring out walleye. I asked him what a good trip for a good angler trolling for walleye on Bull was and what his best day ever was. He said a good trip is 20 walleye and lots of non walleye coming to the boat. His best trip ever was 76 walleye brought to the boat. 76. That number was pre fish kill, but the walleye should be coming back strong since it only takes 3-4 years to go from fry to keeper. I guess I will keep catching them on accident and be happy for the ones I get.
  20. Fish 24/7 what is the lowest the Theodosia ramp is usable and what is the highest that you can use the regular ramp? I know you can launch off the downslope at some magical super high water level, but what is the max to use the normal ramp.
  21. Land Big a Fish has a 20% off sale. Promo code Remember. I have no idea about their flyrod selection. feather raft usually has a sale going every so often. Most good flyshops will let you cast the rod. take a look at the TFO rods. They have some around $150 that feel nice to me.
  22. Awesome Rick! Those Rainbows have some great color. No Shadow Bass? no Chain Pickeral? The River looked like it had a little extra flow. I'm about a month away from my first overnighter of the year. River is undecided and will be unannounced.
  23. I wonder why Table Rock has so many Mean Mouth and Bull Shoals does not?

    For me last year, it was crawfish in April, shad in May, and YOY bluegill etc late May/early June. This year I feel like I have barely fished at all. I'd love to be on the water 4 days a week and have a more scientific records.

    Last year using the Super Dave Smallie sampling technique, I was able to see several forage shifts. All the fish were barfing draws and then it shifted to shad, and lastly to young of the year bluegill.
