I went with my dad this past weekend focusing on Smallmouth in dam area and thought they would be on fire. We caught enough to keep us interested but they were not holding in the usual spots in numbers. We would catch maybe 3-4 in each spot but these areas are usually loaded when they are spawning. I don’t knowing we missed it or they have not all moved in. Usually we catch them out 10-12 ft and in but almost all of them were 8 ft or less with Ned rig. I even tried out deeper on the gravel in 15ft plus with tube and nada. Thinking of going tomorrow but not so sure with how the bite was last weekend. I don’t know if the water fluctuation has them scattered or what.

Anyone know of a place that replaces trailer bunks? Noticed the small one on the front side of trailer is rotted and needs replaced. The guy that did ours in the past no longer does it. I have replaced ours in the past but would rather dump the boat take trailer there have it fixed and go fishing while repair is made lol.

Haven’t been but I bet there is some. Always middle of April has early spawners. Planned on going this weekend but weather is not great. Hoping to get down next weekend with my dad to get his small mouth Ned fix.

I guess you haven’t fished LOZ or any other of the Missouri lakes then. They have 12 inch rule and no quality of spotted bass. No where near Table Rock. Sure you can keep bass I don’t care. I would prefer every time that people went bass fishing they didn’t load their freezer though. Also there is so much for these fish to eat in this lake there is no way they are competing that bad for a meal.

Lol you obviously don’t fish Table rock because there is plenty of 15 inch spotted bass in Table Rock. This lake is not like the little rivers you fish. Actually there is plenty of states that stock LMB still. Who cares if they are northern or Florida strain. Heck if Missouri could have giant Florida strain I would be all for it. Texas regularly stocks LMB and there lakes are thriving. If you remember we have a LMB virus that decimated the population on the 90’s. It has slowly been recovering. If it would have been stocked I’m sure it would have significantly helped. Sorry don’t agree with most of your points

My dad caught this tub K on Friday and I caught this 24 inch walleye. I was going to keep the walleye but figured it had eggs and let it go. We caught several other 16-17 inch Ks

Should stay 15 inches. Look at LOZ beaver and bull. Hard to catch quality Spotted bass there and length limit is 12 inches. This is a head scratcher for sure for me. Focus on building back our LM population with stocking like Texas.

Mizzou getting Mizzoued again. It’s painful to be born a Mizzou fan.

Yes I figured we would lose this game after the big win. Seemed like a trap game and with Gray out pretty much sealed the deal. I know shooters shoot but gosh Grill cannot keep firing when he is ice cold. We have some work to do but I think we can make a deep run in tournament

I’ve been excited about this team all year. They looked great against Alabama last night. I hope they keep it rolling in March. Another big game against Arkansas on Saturday.

Hey I think that is the one I caught lol

We had fun up there Thursday and Friday until it got blown out. We had 3 or 4 over 4 lb hybrids and tons of whites. Females moved in on Friday evening before dark but then it was chocolate milk by morning. Most fun I’ve had in a while. Had either a giant hybrid or striper try to spool me and it was over lol. Also caught a 20 inch walleye. Friend has other pics. Tons of whites

Doesn’t work for the cardinals. They are not available on app yet

It’s kind of ridiculous honestly. Our local cable doesn’t offer Bally anymore. You have to get direct tv or Fubo. Both are $80 +. I thought you could get them by paying for the Bally sports + for $20 but the Cardinals aren’t available on there yet. Even though they have the Blues thunder and grizzlies on there. I’m pretty mad about it lol
