    Thanks fellas. Is falcon off W the only place to put in close to the dam?

    Plan on going with my dad tomorrow to fish for bass and bringing crappie stuff in case they don’t cooperate. We went to Mccubbins about a month ago and did not do very well besides a big one that got off at the boat. Thinking about trying mccubbins again or going to Coffman or Larry gale. Can someone rule out at least a section that is not fishing well as others

    Until you are paralleling a bank and try to catch one in the tops of the trees. Don’t ask lol

    Speaking of you ploppers, isn’t it time for that bite to start or am I late to the party
  5. Alex Heitman
    The only way I see a pole helping is if you are crappie fishing or like to spot lock a lot. It’s already hard to keep the trolling motor aimed perfect to see your bait the hole time. I could imagine trying to run the troller and the other pole at the same time.

    Nice one Bo. We caught some nice ones again Sunday. I don’t think many have moved up yet. Should be real good soon. Here is some more we caught

    Nice big smallie. I’ve been down for last two days and no one was fishing by the dam yesterday but today was different story. Lots of bass boats and big boats. We caught some really nice fish the last few days on crank baits. My dad even caught a 2 lb rainbow trout today on a rock crawler which was odd. We had two K’s and a meanmouth pushing 4lbs the last few days. Good to be back out on the water. It’s been a while.

    Pros choice is getting used boats a lot here is one right here
  9. Alex Heitman
    The only real pros they are keeping out are those who are BASS elites or MLF pros. Also anyone who has entered in a $2500 tournament or made over $100,000 career earnings. There are tons of good sticks in the area that will fish it with the championship being in table rock. You have to finish in top 40 at bull snails to qualify or top 40 in another regional event

    Fished with a good friend yesterday. Only had 7 keepers. Tough fishing. We had to scrap our plan midday. Winners had 23lbs. Think most fish were caught on jerkbait yesterday. Caught most of ours shallow besides 2 that were 30ft on jig. Ice didn’t leave guides until around 10 AM. Here is results.

    Nice fish. Toby looked like he wanted on some of the action.
  12. Alex Heitman
    Whoops. I only caught 2 jerkbait fish that trip, the rest were on a jig. I didn’t take many pics because I was by myself and when they bit you could catch a few more on consecutive cast.
  13. Alex Heitman
    These were all caught on Nu techs a few weeks ago. Bo’s jigs are great

    I can’t hardly stand to wear gloves and fish but I have golf cart gloves when I’m driving which work great. If it is cold enough I wear Nike running gloves and they are thin but help a lot

    I’m okay if people want to or not get the vaccine. Lots of hospital workers refusing it around here in Rolla area. What makes no sense is even if you have vaccine they still require you to wear mask. Even governed has said we still need to social distance and wear mask after vaccine. If they are so confident in it then why do that? I’ve had it already COVID so I’m not getting vaccine. More trust in my immune system after having it then getting the shot
  16. Alex Heitman
    Yeah that’s the one

    It’s about a mile north of the dam on the east side of the lake
  18. Alex Heitman
    My favorite past time is sitting on point 1 at table rock when the lake is low and watch how many boats go way inside the buoy and hit lower unit. 90% are rentals. I can’t count how many times I’ve been fishing that point and they run right between you and the bank in about 2 ft of water

    Best ned head other than Dave’s is the one by 5 fish lures

    I still have trouble in the wind seeing a small swimbait or jerkbait on the retrieve. I need someone to show me how to really dial these in. It seems when your small swimbait is 50ft from the boat it is hard to see until gets back. Wind was brutal this evening trying to stay on them and see my bait
  21. Alex Heitman
    Glad you like it. Got down here about 330 today and caught a nice LM just under 4 on crankbait and small K on swimbait. Going to try and get the shallow bite working tomorrow if not I will try and head deep with the livescope. Found lots of bait with some fish but hard to use the livescope in the wind this evening.
  22. Alex Heitman
    Wondering if the fishing has picked up at all and particularly in 20 ft or less. Last few times I’ve been down the the past 2 months it has been bad. Was thinking maybe coming down Saturday but may hold off until it gets better. Was hoping to get a jig, crank, and jerkbait bite going but it may still be a little early.
  23. Alex Heitman
    Has anyone had trouble with livescope draining your cranking battery when everything is turned off? We have never turned off our master switch and never had a problem but last two times we have came down to fish cranking battery was basically dead. I don’t know if the black box is drawing power somehow even when it is off. Turned off master to see if it makes a difference. Hoping it gets charged tonight and we don’t have to trade out battery in morning. Battery is brand new when we bought new boat this year
  24. Alex Heitman
    I would go in November if you could. If you can’t then last week in October.
  25. Alex Heitman
    Well Vernon I should say tough when compared to how fishing has been for us for the last month. Yesterday and Friday we only caught a handful of fish a piece. When the Ned bite was crazy we were getting 50+ a day. We were spoiled for sure. Like Dave likes to say the smallmouth have had stupid syndrome for a while haha
