if ya need to fish a jig slow, try using a bobber above your jig.....my buddies laugh at me when I put on a bobber but they all want to borrow one by the end

just ran across this auction in ok city for this Friday ..Kens boats going out of business....put on by Dakil auctioneers. all kinds of stuff, parts, service manuals,

VERY NICE!! what did you catch it on?

so is anyone catching crappie shallow yet? my son requested a crappie fry for his birthday this Saturday.....now dad has to come through

where are you located?

I wonder if it could have been a pickerel also......I caught a small mouth up the Lindley arm at pomme last week. I have fished it for forty years and it was the first. mdc said it might have come down from the big flood at the first of the year.......maybe could be the same with a pickerel....idk

hey sandbox been fishing pomme for a long time and have never heard of bailey cove....where abouts is that located?

I don't know the lake well enough......where is gold mine and bee creek? up stream from rockaway?

hey champ.....was thinking about meeting my son, that goes to mizzou, at loz this weekend and do a little fishin. do you think the whites would still be up shallow ? and what part of the lake should we try? ps. I know very little about loz thanks

did you catch them surfacing?

if you have a boat run up river and fish jigs in 2-5 ft of water around wood with branches .you won't need to cast, just have 5 or 6 ft of line out and flip. there is a muddy boat ramp way up the river by a bridge...p hwy maybe.....I would put in there and save a lot of time

how much are you wanting for your truck and camper?

headed to k dock this afternoon. anyone know if the ramp is usable? haven't been to bull yet this year. hoping to fish a fluke was some success and catch some shallow crappie. any advice?

Thanks for the report srj....it is appreciated

Just FYI.....bass pro in Springfield has two center console boats that are low hour trade Ins...one is a Grizzly cc and one is called a triumph . Check their web site.....they have had both of them for a while and I'm sure they could be bought well worth the money

where did I miss the date change? already took april 4th off..........oh well. good luck to those who get to fish it

i'll second that motion.....this thing going to happen?

Go up the James and bank fish......lots of people catching whites from the bank at blunks

What is stupid.....did I miss a whole page or something? Spending some of our money on something we all love(anything about fishing)? What is wrong with that?

we made the trip....arrived at the lake around 9 am.. what an ugly way to get there but definetly worth it. what a pretty place. there is approx. 20-30 acres of old lily pads filled with ducks....gadwalls , mallards, geese, and even a swan. the lake is much shallower than I had planned. in the main lake we really never found more than 12 feet of water at the deepest but there where big schools of 3-4 inch shad. there was very little in the way of structure out in the water( couple of beaver dams and trees that have fallen in the water) half a dozen old boat docks, some in just 2 ft of water. the guy I was fishing with caught a 14-15inch smallie on a ned rig (sweet-tater-pie)by one of the deeper docks which might have been 4ft deep. towards the upper end of the lake it gets fairly flat. the channel you want to run in (7-9ft deep) is littered with stumps that are 4 inches under the surface!! once up in the river (approx. two miles of idling) we did catch half dozen nice fish. all-in-all this place is really cool...some little, old lake side cabins, a lot of them in disrepair. I imagine this place 70 yrs ago was "the" place to go. it wouldn't take too long to learn this body of water and should be a great place to duck hunt if that is open to the public. this was a neat "adventure" and I will definatly go back.

It the nianqua river famed up maybe 15 miles before it gets to lake of the Ozarks. Just south east of macks Creek

I called sho-me power.... they have live cameras that view the lake 24-7 . She said the lake is ice covered still and to call back Saturday to see if it opens up. She said they could even watch who's on the lake and what they are doing.
