For the love of Pete Trav....chill ! If it's your blog pages you're trippin'about copy them to a disk or whatever. You are spamming the whole site and freaking people out Dude. If you are lobbying a potential takeover, and plan to be in charge of things in the future you need to ease up on the extremism.

Way to go Cricket ! I love Zone 4

I'm suprised to hear several of you have cutting problems with uni-thread. I do quite a bit of foam work and have never had a problem with it cutting through the foam. I just take a loose wrap first, then begin tightening (squeezing) it up on sucessive wraps....no cutting problems with uni 6/0 or 3/0 here.

TS, Don't get offended and leave Dude. You posted a very popular topic where you thought it would be seen easiest. If someone doesn't like WHERE it's posted... who cares. If it was that big of a deal I'm sure Phil could have moved it. Sensitivity and Political correctness isn't a requirement here....at least not with ME. Speak your mind, act as you would among friends and don't be made to feel ashamed of what you think, or why you think it. No matter the topic there will be those who feel the same, and others that feel differently. We just share this space because of a similar interest. So don't go...k?

Just curious.... Why does she think that so early in the year ? 2009 may not be a record-setter as far as numbers of tags sold, but I'm sure there will be a plentiful crowd throughout the season, and plenty of profit will be made. I wonder what kind of numbers they consider "average" ?

You are NOT wrong. LOL

a 20 inch Brown from Roubidoux ? Common ? Anything is possible, but Drew, I think somebody's pullin' your leg. I gotta play the Show-Me card on that one.

Hey you sinister Basturd ! You didn't take me THERE ! wtf?

Evil Brownieman, You can catch the hell out of Browns....but you're not very nautical are ya ? LMAO It's ok I'll draw you a picture.....

Cool you got me started....My fingers got sore before I got it figured it out for sure, but I think it's: C, G, Am, F, and there's a D in the chorus somewhere.

You want to tie to a sliding ring or 2FT. piece of heavy chain attached on the arm, and pay out plenty of rope to get an angle of less than 45 degrees. The tighter the angle the better the hold. Personally I've found them to suck really bad, but YMMV. Mushrooms or tri-flute anchors are WAY better.

Yeah.....that puppy could leave a mark

Ahh, found it ! I like your style

Cool, that's what we like to hear. Thanks for the report What's it take to win an early Spring tournament on BS ? I've only fished it in the Fall....and struggled.

Yeah really, like a school of 300lb. Sturgeon Downstream from Osage city, just up from "tower rock" is a backwater slough on river-left. It's been a long time since I've been down there but I had one hell of a Spring and Summer Bass fishing in that slough. My folks used to own the property just downstream from it until the flood of 93. Word at the time was that MDC was going to put an access there, Did they ever do it ?

My pleasure, thank you for making the drive all the way up, and I hope we made it worthwhile. We could have went out for a bit if you'da gimme time to WAKE UP !

Show off Pretty vague report over there....you holdin' out ?

Gar will bunch up like that at this time of the year waiting for a warm rise to head upstream. They usually run immediately after the Whites.

Cool perk isn't it ? Nothing handles a windy Lake O' like a Champion 200 Elite, it's my idea of the perfect Lake Ozark bass boat. God help ya if you have to change a bilge pump or livewell valve in one of'em though...Sheesh !

Whassamatter....were you out Crappie fishin' on a Bass day ? LMAO ! I got a report of "lousy" on the Crappie from some guys that are better at it than me.... that's why I took a bass rod That, and I didn't want to slime up his (clean enough to eat out of) livewell.

Kyle, Can I get the chords to Madison Brown ? I wanna pick it but I can't find the chord sheet to it anywhere.....and I'm not good enough to figure it out on my own. Thanks, Wrench

I can pop all over the internet at lightspeed but lately (for the last couple of days) when I click on OAF it's like the old dial-up days, and sometimes even crashes my system. I thought it might be a problem on my end but I've done scans and virus checks (all ok), dumped the files and cookies and rebooted but still having trouble loading the content here and moving about the OA site. Anyone else ? Thanks, Wrench

Had to test run a customers boat this afternoon so I threw in tools and a jerkbait rod with a deep suspending Rogue...just in case ya know After determining that the motor was performing as it was supposed to I ran up to a little piece of channel bank in the upper Gravois that I have always used as sort of a "guage" (if I can't catch one there it's gonna be a tough day). Started by sitting out deeper and working the water from 5ft out to 15ft., made a complete pass without a bite and then moved in to cast right up to the bank and work out to 10ft. or so....3rd cast=solid keeper at about 4ft., two cast later a dink and then missed a bite right off the bank less than 3ft. Made another pass and caught a couple of shorts. Left there and went to another spot that produced a 3lber right away and another solid keeper (FAT), both hit right off the bank in less than 4ft. Took a run to Cedar creek, it was getting some pressure (4 other boats in there) but nobody was on what I consider the best bank in the cove so I pulled in and made a pass that produced 3 shorts. Lit outa there and went to the back end of Bogue bay to the channel bank and picked up another solid 3lber, another short fish, and about a 6lb Drum LOL Needed to get back but I didn't want to end the day with a nasty ol'purple fish so I hit the channel bank across from Coconuts and picked up 2 more dinks before heading back to the trailer. 4 nice fat keepers out of 14 bites, in less than 3 hours, all within 10 feet of the bank, during the middle of the day....I'd say the bite is pretty darn good and I'm pretty sure if I'd had a partner throwing a Wiggle Wart or a grub he would have caught several also. I never turned the LCR or the temp guage on so I don't know how the shad were situated along the areas I fished, or what the surface temp was. Although I did see where the racoons had ate a few shad along the bank. It's been awhile since I've done any bass fishing on the lake and it felt good to get that outa my system kinda...now back to Trout and Smallmouth fishing in the rivers.

Awesome Brown ! I'm studying the lay of the land...what I can see of it. Is that ABOVE the Falls....or below at Soap and Tallow ? If he ran him clear through Jacks that was an amazing fight. Congratulations !
