if you cant catch walleye, you have to eat white bass. its real good anyway, you just have to soak it, refrigerate it, trim it down to nothing, cook it on a wood plank, then toss in the trash and get a burger! just goofing...i dont really care for fish of any sort. 99% of my yearly catch of anything goes back in the drink. i was in that boat, and it was a blast. i caught more on a 3" shad bodied swimbait than i did a crawler. including a common carp and 2 channel cats.

Got to meet lmt-out at the ramp on Sat. He and his wife were both really nice people and his new boat gave our boat an inferiority complex! it is a beautiful ride

if im remembering correctly, i think upper 60's at Hawker on Sunday

good luck to you.

how high is it now? the interwebs show about 5ft above normal pool.

Hi Everybody! i hear that the lake is up. does anyone know of water clarity at Mutton, Orleans Trail, and Masters? thanks in advance!

does anyone know if there is a good spot to catch skipjack on the lower meremec? is any time of the year good, better, best? thanks in advance.

my rigs now are 40lb braid to a barrel swivel with an egg sinker above the swivel. 15 or 25lb mono leader, santee cooper rigged with a float a few inches above the hook.

i just watched one of his truman cat vids last night. ive instituted a few of his crappie trolling tips on my boat. i never paid any attention to the catfish ones....till now.

rod and reel, from a boat.

i need some advice. ive never been to truman, and would like to try to go and search for blue cats. any info that anyone is willing to share as to where and when to try would be greatly appreciated.

15-25 ft deep in the dock slips is what we do. go catch a bunch of bluegill, clean em and stuff your traps full of the carcasses. we have had good luck with both the round minnow style traps, and the little square ones from walmart.

i was fishing with Top_Dollar. we didnt have much of an issue with it out at that depth. there was a lot of it from shore to 10-15 ft. there was a lot of it loose in the water, but it didnt seem to hang up on the line or rigs too much.

it was weird for sure, a tale of 2 trips. a day and a half of really good fishing, and a day and a half of really slow fishing, all under the same conditions. no drastic environmental changes or anything. they just stopped biting. i've never seen so much snot in the water in this lake. i've never seen a bite change so dramatically i've never seen so many box turtles swimming across the cove

If you dont mind me prying, what depth were you having the best success?
