Call eric @ Ozarks Extreme Outdoors, he'll do it for ya.

It was a freaking grind today at the lake. Only top 4 managed to catch a 5 bass limit with a 3 way tie for big bass(longest fish). We had a great practice a month ago, but I guess the recent weather may have stirred that up a little bit.

It's a few days away from our 3rd event of the year. Same prizes are available to the top 5 winning anglers, with 1st place winning $950 in prizes plus cash. Meeting/launch is at the CC bridge north of Greenfield, meeting @ 630am, tournament starts at 7am There's several ways you can check out our rules and register for our events, on Facebook ( https://www.facebook...51936645049167/),at Ozarks Extreme Outdoors kayak shop near Silver Dollar City or at showmekayakfishing.org under the Mo-Yak Fishing Series tab.

i fished the Rockaway Beach area yesterday. I caught one 17" LM on a white swimjig up the bull creek arm. Then caught 4 keeper size LM and missed a few more on a booyah weedless frog right around the area near the fishing island/pier, walking the frog across the weed mats.

I wouldn't be so sure with all the 40 and under size fish, we'll see in the future. At least now we'll have little ones to play with too.

he even moved the Z-man stuff to the very front of an aisle so that it was the first thing you see when you walk in the door.lol

So I met a cat-fisherman down at PowerSite throwing some kind of cutbait (found out it was gizzard shad), as i was rigging the kayak he hooked up. So i paused to help cause it looked like a decent fish, that ended up being a 39lbs striper. So i get out on the water hit a couple of spots (no generation yesterday morning) will nothing. So i came back to the Empire side and he hooked up again. I beached the kayak and helped out again with a slightly bigger striper (43-45lbs, i weighed the smaller one in town). He gave me the "smaller" one to stock my freezer. He had only been there about an hour before dawn and i got there just before sun up and left with the fish before 8am.

I caught 2 bass like that in one day up James River. Not sure

I'm not even thinking about it... My money can definitely be spent better on something else...

I did really good with either a trick worm or a magnum finesse worm (with a rattle pushed into the tail) with about 12-16 inches from hook to sinker. Watermelon with red flake worked for me. Spooks and redfins are still getting bit in the mornings, usually anything with a white belly

Are you fishing Norfolk?

Cool nice Castaic rock hard. It's odd that i haven't even caught a small one yet. I was there Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

I think you maybe throwing slightly smaller lures than I am. That's a size 10 sandal in the photo.

I actually prefished Stockton on the 11th, then the OBBT. And since the OBBT at Grand lake was rescheduled, I've spent 5 of the last 8 days/afternoons down at PowerSite dam in my kayak trying for another striper (no luck yet...)

8 inch Spro bbz1 floater? I may come down this weekend. The striper bite is failing to produce on Bull Shoals up at PowerSite dam. I'm itching for another big fish.

If i keep up my top 5 Aoy points standing in the Mo-Yak Fishing Series, I'll be fishing Fork in November for the Tournament of Champions(TOC) kayak fishing tournament

I saw one splash behind me at PowerSite yesterday. Looked to be upper 30lbs range. Fished the area for a while and no hits. A co-worker was fishing up from me last Wednesday and had a big one follow to the boat without a strike.

Just married on May 9th.lol (after 6 years together) I love her because we work together and she still let's me go fishing.lol

There's a few possible factors other than hooks to look at. Too slow (topwaters) or too fast (crankbaits) of action on the rods. A tight drag with braid could cause hooks to pull out. May need to make a few adjustments and I'm sure you'll land a few more of those key fish.

I just started paddling when i took this picture. Had a few hits but didn't hook up.

Receding flood waters, what's that?lol

I know Bass pro shops in Springfield carries them. I don't recall seeing them in SFO, but not impossible.

Yep new record. 65lbs 2oz caught on a "minnow". He also caught 2 more weighing about 30lbs each.
