Kimberling City is where we are staying. We will be breaking in the motor though since the boat is new; so I am sure we will cover a LOT of the lake while doing that. LOL

Time is getting close for the wife and I's trip to TR. We will be there from April 27th-12th of May. Swing by and say Hi if you see this boat

I have a G Loomis GLX 843 crankbait rod for $200. Very good condition. G Loomis CBR 843 for $100. Will call this one good condition since it has scratches around the hook keeper. Rods would need to be picked up while we are in Kimberling City from April 27th--May 11th as I don't want to ship them. I also have 3 Lews left hand retrieve TP1HL Tournament pro reels 6.4:1 ratio. Reels are $100 each if picked up in Kimberling City while we are there. Would need to get $110 each to cover shipping if I ship them. All reels are in very good condition and hardly used at all. Soon after buying them I found a decent deal on Steez reels so I upgraded and these have just been sitting in the house. If interested shoot me a PM.

I sent you a PM when you first posted this. Have not heard back from you. Did you not get it or why no response if you want to sell?

Yeah we have some bad luck as well sometimes. Was there last year when the flood hit; cut a 2 week trip down to 1 week. Plus we both got hail dents in our trucks. Still love coming to TR though!! We get there for 2 weeks starting the 27th of this month.

There is a lake up here that a few years ago was kicking out a TON of 16"-18" crappie. Yes I caught and measured some of them. Lake had a 50 fish limit. Of course the locals and some non-locals had to go out every day and catch limits of them just because they could. Before the Game and Fish finally lowered the limit to 20 in 2013; the people who just HAD to keep limits every day had ruined the fishery! For what it is worth when we went out we would only keep maybe around 15-20 total between 2 of us and would only do that a handful of times; not day after day after day like a lot of people. I was one who called the G&F asking them to lower the limits; sad it took them too long to do that. You can still catch some crappie but nothing like it was. The 'catch and keep them all' hordes have moved on to other lakes now so hopefully the crappie fishing will rebound some.

When you live in the land of no deep lakes like I do; both spot lock and poles are useful. Now if I lived around TR I would not own poles either.

If I were in your shoes; I would hire a guide and fish Lake Fork.

About the part in red. It really isn't the money that is brought in during the big circuit tourny. The big money comes from all the tourist fun fishermen that come fish the lake for years after seeing how good it can be from watching the big tourny.

Bet not too many fish have ever seen this lure.

Possibly. LOL Good thing is I never paid over $25 for any of them including the missouri craw or bengals. The ebay prices are just plain STUPID!

Yep I am kinda loaded up with warts. LOL When you get a chance check your messages and let me know a price?

PM sent. I wouldn't mind having the orange/blue just because I don't have one. It would look nice mixed in with these........

I forgot James started guiding. He would be really good too!

Bill is good for sure. Also Phillip Stone and Pete Wenners are good too.

Really glad to hear she is doing good! Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys!

Well heck I must be mistaken about the threadfin up here. I could have swore I have seen some. Did some quick searching and it appears that threadfin have been tried in Nebraska but supposedly they don't survive our winters. Must have been a while ago at a time when they tried to stock them up here that I saw them.

We have them both up this way too. We do have more gizzard shad though.

Up here our water gets WAY colder than 42. Yes we have a shad die off every year. It does not kill them all; not even close. Always seems to be way too many shad swimming in the summer up here.

Merry Christmas to everyone as well!!

I changed the hosting site for the first pic too.

Yeah that pic is not how the lids look when fully shut. I will try and get a pic of the deck when I get a chance.

Do you have a link to that facebook page?

Lids set even with rest of deck. I have not seen the facebook stuff as I don't do facebook. I am guessing in those pics the lids just are not shut all the way.

Trying a different picture hosting site to see if pics will show for everyone. Will someone who couldn't see my first pic tell me if this one shows up for you.
