Im out in KS right now, I worked all night then drove 30 miles back to my hotel and every car in the parking lot was destroyed, Even side mirrors were busted off and scattered through the lot. I got lucky, my truck is about a month old

Is it just me or does Gill just talk to hear himself talk. I mean he is great but man sometimes I wonder if he even believes the stuff that comes out of his mouth. Makes Bass fishing seem like astrophysics.

Anyone plan on going? I've been out of town but been seeing on Facebook they are setting up a lot of stuff. I think I'm taking the little man (11) on Saturday and then were going fishing Sunday, probably Bull though

I seem to pick a guy that wasn't even in the first one, and then I tend to pick a 1st place and dead last pretty much... Im glad this isn't my job

I have the corded Bubba which works great, I also use my Mister Twister blades. Anymore lots of trucks have outlets in the bed so that is handy. The last battery powered one I had was an old Replala before Lithium. And it was so gutless, I guess that why I stuck with the corded one

I got a screaming Chappo too $7.50. I have so many regular ones but dang, might as well try a new one

Just saw this thread and literally just got home from Bass Pro and it is buy one get one on Flouro clear right now, so I got some. There wasn't very many left at the Springfield store but I bet they are running the sale online since its the Spring fishing classic....They also had good deals on XPS braid

Most the kids now that are becoming "Pro" have mom and dad as their financial backer. I think I could be a pro too if, I had someone paying the bills and I could fish every day of the week all over the country. IT takes me 2 months to get the same on the water time as they get in a week. That's why we are seeing the younger guys rise to the top

It really was a perfect example of a Largemouth. I've only caught 2 on Table Rock over 6 and the other one was short and stubby, I think it was a really old fish 6.62

My Xr6 just turned 22. My oldest Garmin has over 4000 miles on it since I put it on and I had the boat and motor 3 years before that. And I don't know how many the previous owner put on

Been a while since I got to Bridgeport. Started out looking for crappie and caught a few. Started paralleling the bank with a little Spro crankbait and caught 20 bass in about 2 hours. 4 keepers. Mix of all 3 blacks. Biggest one was a 6.04 Largemouth all caught in 4 ft of water. it was a fun day. Water Temp 51-54. Also while going down the bank I saw a familiar looking hat that I lost about 7 months ago. So I grabbed it, and sure enough it was my hat that I got of Temu so I know it was mine lol. Lake if very low, be careful going up from Bridgeport and in Flat creek, lots of trees to avoid

There is a little gas station right before you get to K HWY that usually has minnows. With this cold spell they may not though, Their tank is outside. JCT tackle & Archery usually has them too. Depending on where your coming from, its a little ways from K Dock. Also Scottys trout dock may have them, I would call first though. Im thinking about heading there tomorrow

Who do I PayPal or Venmo and what's the password?

Im in, let me know

I was at Cape Fair Crappie fishing, and running down the lake we saw a lot of birds diving. Finally I couldn't take it so I stopped and made one cast with a Ice Jig, and sure enough a 2.5 LM. That was later in the day when it was time to go home. Should have done that all day. Crappie were biting but not many keepers lot and lots of short fish. back to Bull for me Flat Creek/James water temp 46. Cape Marina and down lake I saw 52

They are hard to come by. Took me years to find an old used Evinrude that wasn't crazy expensive. And you know there are 1000's of them in old barns that are just going to waste

Havent been to this part of the lake in years so I thought we would give it a try. Caught a nice limit of Crappie, most were right around 12". Never lost sight of the launch ramp. Fish were on deep bluffs in the trees. Caught them from 20-40 feet deep all on jigs. Water temp was 52. Definitely a scope deal when they are that deep. About half I never even felt bite I would reel in and they were just on

Did you hit White Grill afterwards? Such good burgers. I stay in Nevada a lot when I work at the EL Dorado Springs Hospital

Thanks guys, when I googled it, it just said KC. Its still a 70 mile round trip to Branson. So its still BS that they do this.

Closest Core office to Springfield says KC, Im just going to keep putting that receipt on my dash I guess.

So I went to Bull Shoals and decided to buy my yearly pass. Of course no one is there so I just buy one out of the Kiosk. And it gives me this Temporary one that is only good for 14 days. If I would have known that I wouldn't have got it. I don't think I will have a chance to redeem it. I assumed the Kiosk would just spit out the actual pass. Does anyone know where I could take it do redeem it? Its almost like the set you up just to screw you out of $40

Nothing crazy to report. Its been a bit since I've been out. 11" and 13" Crappie. And a couple walleye 20" and 21". Just pulling cranks. Water Temp 55. They were all in 16ft or less. Trolled in the 20ft range and never had a bite

Here is mine, its beat up a little but it is 50+ years old. I just need to get it going for the winter. Is it worth rebuilding? I will be coming through your neck of the woods at the end of the month

Yeah I tried turning the prop and working the shift rod and she's still stuck, Do you have any leads on a lower that would work for me? Its an old engine and all the screw on the bottom side of the lower are all different, so someone has obviously had it open at some point. Its been working great until now
