Dapper Dan Man

Thanks for all the responses, sounds like this batch is going in the trash and ill stick to the fresh stuff

Like the title says, these are just some photos that I've snapped while out bank fishing. I seem to do more fishing than catching these days however sometimes having the freedom to be out enjoying God's creation can be just as rewarding. These two were taken early morning @ beaver creek. Empire park with the family: Sunrise @ Kdock: Walleye caught on upper bull shoals: Headed to shadow rock park: The next three is what I believe to be barker hole: Just a pic of table rock on a nice summer day: And last just about the most awesome sunrise ever:

I have always been told that the worst smelling bait always produces the best results. Is this a good rule of thumb? I have some chicken livers that I put in handy little sacs and garlic salt that I didn't end up using and have been sitting outside the back side of the shop since last October I think, it could be longer. Just wanted to get some opinions on if this would be a good idea to use or not. Thanks in advance!

Some see it as a problem,I see it as a workout!

Sounds like one of my ex-girlfriends lol, sorry couldn't resist

I was down just off of Slough Hollow rd

White bass are definitely in beaver creek, went out yesterday afternoon/evening everyone around me was catching them except me lol. Not sure if they are still there with the rain and the temp change but i know they were in there yesterday.

sounds like we are approaching that time of year once again thanks for the report!

thanks, it was about 19". I went out again a couple late afternoons ago and caught two more but both were way to small to keep. but always fun to catch

just an update on going out the other night. I caught one trout it was extremely windy so we packed it in early because the temp started dropping drastically. might try again this weekend when its warmer.

What little information I can give I'm more than happy to help out. All the tips and such i have learned on here has benefited me greatly. Right now i'm waiting for the branson tourism season to pick up so i have more time on my hands than anything. I can't think of a better way to spend it than down at the lake I'm going back down there with my friend tonight i'll add on to this post what we come up with.

no, down by shadow rock park.

Only got to fish for about an hour and a half till it got too cold to sit out there but I did get to pull this one out of the water.

I have a friend that fishes with me regularly and he told me that someone told him that a couple weeks ago MDC had released two walleyes with a reward tag of $10,000 each on them. I haven't found anything on the web to confirm this, but wanted to bounce this off of the experts here and see if there is any truth to this very fake sounding story.

that does sound like a good spot thanks

Hello, I know everyone likes to give up thier favorite fishing spots about as much as we like to pay taxes, but I was curious if anyone could give me a general idea of where I could go catfish fishing from the bank with the water up so high? I tried down by powersite dam a week or so ago and dind't have much luck. However, I did drive by there this evening and noticed that water wasn't flowing over the top so maybe that's where I need to try again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since bull shoals is up so high and all my previous fishing spots are now under deep water anyone have any suggestions/ideas for bank fishing spots in the forsyth area?

I was down at the dam yesterday afternoon just checking things out and snapped a few pics. hope this helps a bit. also there were a few guys down there below the dam standing along the walkway fishing didn't see anyone catch anything though...

headed to the pothole in the next few will post how good.... or bad we do

id love to get into some whites again. def good eats

I'm a walleye newbie myself, but i've had the best luck with a purple swimming minnow after dark. Hope that helps

Me and a friend of mine was down there last night got there around 11pm or so. they were running water but bite was slow at first. then seemed like we were catching one after the next then it slowed back down again. I caught 6 whites and my friend caught 1 white and a Walleye. so all in all good night. Thanks for the tip to try the pothole i never would have thought to try there

if anything it was an amazing night to be out by the lake

It was shoulder to shoulder on the bank on the forsyth side tonight. i didn't feel like fighing the crowds so i moved down the bank towards swan. caught a lil one better than getting skunked

I'm in. fingers crossed
