  1. Question- Does anyone have any advice or information on Clear Water Marine in Eagle Rock, M0.?
  2. Today a neighbor heard they where going to drop lake level 10' for dam repairs. He called the Corps and the lady would not confirm or deny it. Has anyone heard about this?
  3. I went to the corp office in Rogers today to get a day use pass for the year to launch my boat. They had a sign on the door saying seniors do not need to get a pass every year now. So this is how it worked I showed them my National park and federal recreational pass for citizens 62 or over and they gave me a plastic holder to display that pass. End of story no more buying yearly pass. I got the pass at Pea Ridge Battle Field for $10.
  4. Have always had good luck with my reels at hook line and sinker also
  5. Thanks for the info much appreciated
  6. I know I'm off topic but I'm hoping to get a recommendation or some advice for a guide on Toledo Bend. Will be staying mid lake in April. I know I can look some up, but hope get some personal input. Thanks

    Duck's last name is Drake and he sounds like Donald Duck when he wants to
  8. Have fished the Duo Realis 80 twice. Last Thursday had fair results. Would cast at fish that were pushing minnows on surface and let it sink to thermocline 15 to 17 feet where I was fishing. They would hit it on the drop and stick less than half the time. Seemed to get more hooked when at that depth and had it moving. Today not any luck with the bait didn't see as much fish activity. could only get them off bottom. I was fishing 6# Floro P-line so a bit heavy, but I'm a chicken to use 4# except for trout. It would sink horizontal and wobble going down and cast a good distance. My best guess it would sink at 1'/sec. I'm going to keep trying it on suspended fish.
  9. Found this link on the state park site. $4 to launch $30 annual at Viney. Wonder why there is no charge if you launch at the state park by the dam? Wonder if they give senior a discount http://mostateparks.com/page/61549/viney-creek-recreation-area
  10. Imo they look like white bass. We were catching them down at spider creek last week. I was up from their today didn't see any trout fishing. Thanks for the video was interesting.
  11. In response to using Yozuri Hybrid. I want to mention that the only short coming that I found out the hard way is if you tie an overhand loop knot with the stuff it breaks at the knot really easy. To overcome this use a double overhand loop knot. Have not seen this in other lines.
  12. I have been using the Strike King Zero in PB&J finesse worm to drop shot for the last 4 years seems to work just as good as any other and last a whole lot longer. Like catching 20 fish on it and the fish do not through it off the hook shaking their head.
  13. Hazbin hope that means we can still launch at the ramp at the back of Vinney?
  14. I use a self priming 12v wash down pump that is out of the water. The electric connections need to be waterproof, if less than 20" from water line I believe. Got an electrician to sign off on it. I need to disconnect water hoses in the winter to prevent damage to pump diaphragm. This is on Beaver lake. Was thinking if pump was on a boat in the dock and you you hooked up to it when needed. The Corp would be out of the loop.
  15. Took my 225 pro XS 2007 into ulrick marine for tune up had no problems with the motor he changed out the silver fuel hoes from the tank to the black hose and cut it open to show how the inner lining was starting to come apart. This is the hose installed by who ever did the initial setup of the boat. What he put in is Type B1-15 SAE this is a low- permeation hose. Do not remember what the original was. Here is a 2009 Merc Service bulletin about fuel hose http://marinepartsexpress.com/Merc_Prod_Bull/Low%20Permeation%20Fuel%20Hose%20Bulletin%20No.%202008-11.pdf
  16. I was at the meeting and one point the corps people asked some questions about was keeping the launch open that is at the entrance to viney. There is no gate at the park at this time. They first said they would put a gate where the road to the park starts, blocking both ramps and the park. They did ask question about the feasibility of gates at the kiosk where you pay. I took this to mean they may look at not blocking access to the first boat ramp. I’m posting a copy of the comment form they had at the meeting. I hope some of you would send one in supporting keeping Viney open. They said this will be decided within a mounth. It was also mentioned that Sen. Boozman of Arkansas is proposing a bill to allow the corp to keep the money they collect and not put it in the general fund this would maybe give them more money to operate with. Lots of ways to spin this comment. I’m going to try to get more info about this. formViney.pdf

    I was with Duck and most of the info we got was from the lady at the store at the entrance to the park at Viney. She started the petition we saw at the bulletin board in the office pub restaurant . She said this is about budget cuts. She also said that if you look at reserving a camp site, it will show Viney closed. She also thought other areas where also scheduled to close. It would be a shame if these areas ended up looking like Sweetwater or Joe Bald. She said a personal letter would be great. The contact info she gave us is for the head guy in Little Rock. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ATTN: Col. Cortney Paul PO Box 867 Little Rock, Ar 72203
  18. When I took my nerver in for lower unit oil the tech raised my motor all the way to keep the oil from coming out after I saw that now its SOP
  19. Might want to put a note up at big M and office pub. Just a thought
  20. Interesting about the spinnerbait was on the king around grandview caught 3 walleye on a spinnerbait it was a first for me.
  21. One thing to think about is you power up your boat on a trailer a lift just goes up and down no friction involved. Rollers go up and down very easy might need someone or thing to connect trailer so it doesnt roll back. I like your original thought.
  22. This is the fish advisory for Missouri. It is mostly for Mississippi and the Missouri River. Nothing about Table Rock http://health.mo.gov/living/environment/fishadvisory/pdf/12fishadvisory.pdf This is the EPA web site posting for Fish filet testing. I believe the last tests where done in 2002 http://fishadvisoryonline.epa.gov/FishTissue.aspx?tabId=0 This is the water Quality Bulletin for Missouri. The main point I see is "All but 5 fish kill locations were in Greene County. Sewage discharge is the most common problem cited in the investigation of fish kills in this region." http://mdc.mo.gov/landwater-care/stream-and-watershed-management/missouri-watersheds/james-river/water-quality My point is do not believe all that you read on the web is accurate. To make my point I did a web search and an advanced search of the MDC web site for the phrase "Lab testing done by the Missouri food safety commission has found that black bass over 15" caught from Table Rock lake" found in one of the posts this phrase can not be found anywhere. Draw your own conclusions.
  23. The 4th is not one of my days to fish if you must go very early or stay back in creek arms make sure you have licences for ark and mo
  24. You should be using a marine starting battery for the motor and a deep cycle marine battery for the trolling motor. That deep cycle battery will not give you the amps for starting like a starting battery. About connectios and wiring very good advice.
  25. Sounds like the 8.5 v battery has a bad cell. Test the specific gravity of cells or do load test, or forget all that and take them to a battery store. Battery outfittets works for me. Should use 2 like batteries
