  1. Lets start a petition for trophy Rainbows too..... just to see which one hits the trash can first.
  2. Don't forget to say "Please".
  3. "Trophy" is kinda relative, but ok.
  4. Pretty sure that human population control is discussed and decided on behind closed doors. Our opinions and petitions don't carry much weight on that one.
  5. Just curious, when and why did Browns become so much more "special" than Rainbows?
  6. The gage is correct. Although the radar showed us in the Red & Yellow for most of the night, we got nothing more than a light shower that lasted about 35 minutes. I think they need to back the sensitivity knob off just a tad on that radar image.
  7. Angler success rates on the Current are pretty respectable and consistent, so I say if works leave it be.
  8. You're almost there Hoss, add 2 more sheet metal screws and its officially Redneck
  9. Seriously? They started predicting widespread catastrophic flooding 2 days before the first drop falls ? Has NOAA ever done that before?
  10. Y'all gotta realize that the weatherman has nothing to sell besides bad news, if all they did was tell you things were as they should be then nobody would sit through one of their "forcasts". So calm down, Spring ain't over.
  11. For cripe sake it's just some rain. The way everyone is talking it's like a major catastrophic event is looming.....Have I missed something ?
  12. I'm in no mood to Gargle it right now but I wanna say that Buffalo are native to the Miss/Mo drainage. Not aure why I think that otger than I know the commercial fishermen on the Miss used to set gill nets for them back when I was a pup. My Dad and Grandpa cut quite a few big holes in gill nets on the lower Salt and the Miss around Asburn after getting them caught in the prop. Nothing pissed my papaw off worse that hitting a gill net and having to spend 30 minutes getting loose from it. And those nets were always loaded with buffalo.
  13. Greasy, I used XT for 20 years and you're right about it being consistent and dependable, but I promise you that if you'll give P-Line CX Premium a try for just one day you'll never go back. There are others equally as good and I haven't tried them all but old dependable XT took a back seat about 5 years ago. The decent co-poly lines are just so much better, especially for rocky river fishing.
  14. Technically? Yeah I think so.
  15. All I can tell ya is that when guys in Missouri get really serious about catching Muskie they eventually head North. You could probably save yourself alot of time and gas money in the end by heading to REAL Muskie country right off the bat.
  16. I always thought that too, but apparently in the big rivers they are quite successful at spawning.
  17. Not sure about the Table Rock tribs, but up here it takes a good rain that swells the creeks a bit to trigger a mass migration. All the other elements and "signs" can be on, but until we get that Spring gullywasher it just doesn't happen.
  18. How is the White bass/Hybrid fishing going on the Miss.?
  19. They always look like that, even the healthy living ones. Undoubtedly the ugliest, stinkinest, and most undesirable "thing" that swims in our waters.
  20. I love me some bluegillin' If you can find a pond/lake with big honker gills you can stay busy for another 3 months. Flashy stuff doesn't work well for me where I fish, all black seems to turn the bigguns on everywhere I have found them. This mini-arsenal here is all I ever need for gills...
  21. Bighead carp
  22. Mike is full of beans, the LAKE is low, but the RIVER is fine. You'll have a great trip, enjoy.
  23. One question; Was it running and stalled....and now won't restart ? Or did you kill the engine via the key switch the last time it was running, and the next time you hopped in it it just went "clunk"? Either way shoot me a pic or two (fishinwrench@gmail.com) or better yet post them up here. Thanks, wrench
