Hey Guys-- we are tubers and skiers just wanted to know when TR usually turns over in the fall?? Can you usually swim in late Sept?? Thanks. Joe

Good post about being a kid and catching fish; that is what it is all about

Guys: If you had to choose Aunt's Creek or Cape Fair to fish on Sunday, April 3rd-- which 1 would you choose and why?

Guys: Totally clueless on this conversation; you guys could have been talking Chinese and it would have just made as much sense. Now I know how my wife feels when I am trying to explain football to her. Thanks. Joe

Thanks Dennis for pointing out the location and lure. Didn't notice it. Joe

Bill: Congrats on the big fish; got to post pic of it when u can; As I was reading, it didn't see WHERE on TR u were fishing. Thanks. Joe

Got a question on the warts-- how do u attach it to the line; I used a leader just like all lures but the front hooks were catching on the line; What am I doing wrong? Also, do u put anything else on the wart hooks? Thanks. Joe

Thanks so much for the tips on lures!! Now if I can just understand what each one means such as #2- PB&J- how do u keep the bread on the line? Joe

ok guys. Need some help. If I have no fishing lures, bait, etc, (which is the case). And I don't have an unlimited bank account, (which is the case). If you could only buy 10 lures, what 10 would you pick for your tackle box? Fishing @ the Rock; could be fishing for anything. What 10 lures is a must for my tackle box? I am so looking forward to getting out on the lake this weekend! No family commitments for me this weekend except for getting the boat out on the lake.I so hate those of you out on the lake today and tomorrow- looks like great weather. Joe

What about real minnows? any need to mess w/ them or stick to fake minnows?Thanks. Joe

Thanks. Bill

Bill: old fisherman here not a very good one either!! you said pick the windy point everytime-- for an old fool like me- why windy points? Makes it harder to cast. Thanks. Joe

Thanks for the input on Cricket Creek; Since A.Creek is close to our house by Kimberling City we are going to try that 1st; if not successful, we may go to CC the next weekend- a 1 day trip. Really appreciate the fishing lure ideas. Take care. Joe

Thanks for the fishing tip. If you were to launch @ 76 bridge ramp, are you going north when you said you are going up river? Thanks again

Congrats David Burks from Fordland!! If you are in your 30's, you are the same David Burks that use to be my student- of course, there are so many Burks in Fordland. Congrats. JWoodring

Jason: Looking @ the Aunt's Creek area from Google sat and if we launch fro AC public area, would you recommend going north up the creek? There is 1 major arm that is to the north west of the public area and then there is the main arm of AC that you can follow to the north east-- when this arm ends it looks like alot of mud,sediment from the satellite map. Any suggestions? Thanks for the info. Joe

Thanks for the fishing tip- we might try ACreek

Next couple of weeks I'm fishing on T-Rock near the Kimberling City Bridge- just east of it- looking for catfish; Any suggestions on how to catch them- We want to use rods not jugs; My boys have never caught a catfish bigger than a perch on a rod. We are going to fish in the day- Our plan is to get back in 1 of the coves; When I do -- what should I be looking for? Throw near the bank and drag out to the middle of the cove? If the cove has timber in the middle, throw in the middle. Don't know what to use for bait- doughballs or some WalMart cat bait or should we use something else? How deep do we need to go this time of year? Any advice?Thanks. Joe

KC Bridge- Kimberling City- Sorry guys

Next couple of weeks I'm fishing near KC Bridge looking for catfish; Any suggestions on how to catch them- We want to use rod not jugs; fishing daylight- Our plan it to get back in one of the coves; Don't know what to use for bait- doughballs or some WalMart cat bait or should we use something else?

Hey Fishing Gang; This is my 1st post. My name is Joe ; I got 3 teenage boys; I bought a boat this winter as my boys have never been on a boat to fish; can you believe that? We have always fished from this banks but not this year.We fish @ Table Rock - just east of the KC bridge. Looking to get fishing in the next few weeks. We are not very good fishermen -- we just haven't fished enough - been too busy w/ other sports. Our #1 goal this fishing year: Catch a catfish by reel- and not a small cat like we have caught @ Lake Springfield- @ least a 2 pounder. So any fishing tips would be greatly appreciated! Take Care.
