Phil, The rack cards were there waiting for me when I checked in Sat afternoon. The owners were more than happy to set them out. I noticed them later in the week set out next the Mo Fishing Regulation booklets.

I'll be staying at a resort located near Theodosia a week from now. I remember there being a bulletin board located in their office/gameroom with postings of items that may be of interest to the guests, Branson shows, Guides services, float trips, local fishing and hunting regulations ect.. I don't think the owners would object to having a flyer posted that would promote this board to their guests. Their typical guests are repeat out of state customers making yearly trips much like myself and most do some fishing during their stay. I would guess that they have 10+ units fully booked thru the summer. If you feel this would be in the best interest of Ozarkanglers, I would be more than happy to post a flyer or whatever you feel is appropriate on their bulletin board. Let me know what you all think.......Kelly

Thanks for all the input. I picked up a topo map of the Theodosia Arm today with the map and the portable depth finder I should be able to locate the channels and find the depth the shad are running. I'll be heading out next Saturday I'll let you know how it went. Thanks again.........Kelly

I've considered using a guide and even went as far as contacting one on one of my early trips. Sorry I don't remember who it was. It was also a trip during the dog days of summer and the guide wasn't really to eager. I got the impression that fishing the lake at that time of year was pretty tough and he didn't have a lot of confidence he could put me on any fish. To his credit he did give me some suggestions and wish me luck. I'm not to picky about what kind of fish: Walleye, largemouth, crappie, whites and even some nice bluegill would be great. In past trips I've had the best success trolling the bluffs longlining with 6lb test and deep diving crank baits like the d22. Never caught a lot of fish but would pick up a few keepers during the week. Caught largemouth, walleye, whites and crappie. I picked up a ABU 7000 at a garage sale this spring and was thinking of loading it up with lead core and giving that a shot. Top water early AM is also a method that I have tried. I've pick up a few small largemouths but have never got into any quality fish yet. That's my favorite way to fish. I've got a submersible light but never used it. Hadn't thought about fishing under the bridge at night. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for all the suggestions if you have others keep posting.

Hi all, I'm heading out on a family vacation in 2 weeks and wondered if anyone had any warm water fishing tips. We'll be staying at a resort about a mile or so from the bridges. I'm somewhat limited in how much water I can cover since I'll be using a 15ft aluminum boat with a 10 hp engine. I've been to this area 4 or 5 times in the last ten years and have only marginal luck. Last year was a total bust as far as fishing. But being out on the lake as the sun comes up makes the trip worthwhile even if I can't figure out the fishing.
