curtisce

i was in Aunts creek same time. couldn't get bit on RC. was there 10 days ago and did well. Water was stained now clear WT 51-53 no wind today either

good day for you. We were up near Shell Knob, we caught modest number all spots.

I was there last wednesday the 25th. Beautiful day no wind , some clouds. Put in at twin bridges. No dock still lots of debris on shore ahd bridge above. Neosho was muddy, Went up Spring , it started to clear by the steep bluff banks. 1ft viz. fished just above the floating house docks. Had a period in the morning whwere it was eveery cast for about 10 fish. then it slowed. Hooked a 35# paddlefish, got it in and unhooked. Layed it on the deck for a pic but it shook and went back in the drink. Went upstream to 10 bridge looked about the same as always with lots of gravel pied up behind the ramp. probably could get a lighter boat in but nothing that requires the boat to float off your trailer. few boats in the section below 10 no obvious action. Stopped just downstream from the shallow area above the houses. In the first deep part could see whites on LS. Again started catching them nearly every cast on crappie jigs. Most nice size a few dinks. Quit keeping them but fished on till around 1:30. Probably could have kept catching for some time but decided to head hom

Picture

It's in the picture but it is camouflaged so it is hard to see. That's why they call it camouflage🤪

usually by this time of year the water level would be too low but looks like it is doable now. Fished it a few years back good SM habitat

probably less wind in summer This is the least wind we have ever witnessed, a whole week

One of the lakes we fished stocked them. It's posted catch and release only. i really wanted to try some 🤣

Headed up by myself to my brothers house. Weather shut down our first day. Went to lake Sharpe pm MO river for 2 days good number of Smallmouth plus enough bonus walleyes on ned rigs to come close to our limit each day. Spent next 2 days at brother s house again weather. All 3 elements wind cold and rain . Headed to Roy lake with an improving forecast. Set tents up in slight drizzle. Headed out to fish. WT before the front had been above 60. We found main lake 50 and shallow bays 46. Slight caught about 20 nice large mouth that afternoon. they were scattered about off shore in about 6 fow. Weather from there through the trip was great. Could have used a little more wind which is strange for SD. Fished 10 lakes caught 10 species. Had two fish fry's had 11 friends at one of them. one. Will post more boarding a flight soon

What year was your trip, recent?

I'll agreee the northern fish are chunkier but shorter?

Tuesday I went down , @BilletHeadand Mrs. got there early and warned me I wouldn't be able to launch at the 10 bridge. Went down to twin bridges and paid my $10 then ran up the river. Considerably shallower thatn last time and put a few nicks in my newly machined SS prop 😫. Had to use the trolling motor to get above the riffle t the gravelbar. Livescope showed lots of fish in the first pool. Caught a few but mainly small males. Marty was already clicking and putting nice plump females in the livewell. took a while but I started catching a few. Went up around the corner but not much luck, we all ended up back in the same place. Two other boats were catching fish right and left. marty calls me and say a faster strip was the trick. We all started catching for quite awhile. with enough fish in the livewells we tried a few different spots and then headed towards the ramps. Lots of boats just below 10 bridge
