Music to my ears!

Heading to Alaska for a couple of weeks but then should be back on the lake. white/red Skeeter with a guy who sucks in his gut a lot on the front! Gladly share info, you go first.

Champ lives for the blade. I have always had limited success with it on the Rock. Works for me when it is raining and that is about it. Hopefully Champ will pitch in with some lessons.

tie1on.....you and I fish the same area!

Love the Rock!

Thanks for the report

Awesome lesson. Thanks for sharing.

I am full of evy. Love those fog filled morings!

Of course you have to know that RPS always catches a few on topwater. Might be the best Topwater fisherman on the Rock!

You are going to find this difficult to believe, BUT I agree with you. It has two ramps and the one ramp can take four boats at a time if it isn't a newby. The other ramp can take two even if they are newbies. A lot more parking there too. Plus it would save me gas. No clue why they focus on Ahoys so much for tournaments or Kimberling 13 for the Water Patrol Tournaments. Currently.... I am glad they do put in where they do!

Sorry!

I received a call asking me if I was going to attend this year, so I would guess yes. 174 boats last year but don't expect so many this year.

havent used mine for a few years. Give me a call

Beck is going to be jealous!

I like Flo and her tricked out name tag! I probably have an odd sense of humor though.

Stealing lower units is ridiculous! You shouldn't have to take your motors and parts off at night. Baldknobbers?

I would rather have the day you did than the day so many others did. Really sounds like you spent a great day on the water with your girlfriend. Sounds silly but quite a few folks in Joplin would trade you places. As a matter of fact..... I worked all weekend. While I am thankful for having a job, I wouldn't have minded being on the water with my wife.

He deserves it!

tie1on, You can get an inexpensive game camera. If they don't steal it too, you might get good photos or video of the suspects, but LEO would have to recognize them to match the suspect. The camera idea has been used again and again on anhydrous tanks, meth labs at remotte locations, marijuana grows, store fronts and so on BUT they seldom do much to stop theft or help with solving the crime. If you could get a license plate number or in this case boat number it might help. Even the kids that break windows and take stuff out of cars (called car hopping) call it a "Stupid Tax." According to the criminals, the owners were stupid to leave it in the car even if it was their own driveway. The onus is on the crooks not the honest guy, but the honest guy that doesn't learn is going to keep being taxed so to speak. To throw another idea out there....motion sensor lights have been proven to thwart the criminals a bit as they don't like light. I don't want to steer this toward political but the looters in Joplin and the stuff that occurred during Katrina were a pretty sad show of how we treat each other in the worst of times. I am not sure if it was true but the Tsunami in Japan didn't seem to have looters. If that is in fact true I wonder why the difference.

The Lowarance H20C is a color hand held GPS. This might work for you... http://mnoutdoorsman.com/forums/index.php?topic=17794.0 I had to reset mine once, BUT i don' remember going through all of that.

The Mrs and I think about getting a slip somewhere and discuss it almost every spring. It seems a lot faster just putting the boat in and out instead of hauling gas and removing everything from the boat each time.

I have been told Mill Creek is open and I know Aunt's is.

My good friend johnboy......everyone knows there aren't hardly any fish in Aunt's Creek! I think I have had more days of fishing than catching on Table Rock....but never a bad one yet! It is nice to see another guy post what didn't work as it reduces the amount of water you have to cover to find what is working. It gives others a better chance at succeeding. Thanks for the report!

Hey Champ! You and Donna going to be out there Sunday? it is almost time for our second annual picnic on a dock as the tornado blows by. Wont be out on Memorial Weekend......too scary!

I think we are going to be out Sunday after church but have a long list of things to do because we camped all last weekend. Hope to see you and if not please tell my fishies I said I miss them.
