I believe beaver is a very good fishery... That being said it is defiantly not an easy lake to figure out. Luckily there are a few guys on this forum who are happy to share their knowledge

That's whst I'm hoping doc I'll post some info when I find out( positive thinking)

I have officially parked the old peterbilt for the next week and am planning on spending some time on the water. Anybody got thoughts on what this warm weather is gonna do to the crappie??

It's not easy to find but sure does go good in a gumbo

Try some Tasso in yo gumbo sometime

I drive a truck all over the country and every time I get a chance I stop at places that sell tackle. its really cool to go to cabelas in Minnesota for example and find entire end caps full of rapala ice jigs for example in every color available instead of s couple hooks in the middle of an isle. The problem with this is now I gotta haul all this around with me knowing it will be a while before I can put it to use

Great catch and glad boat double was mininal

This has been an extremely rough week for my family and I On Monday my dad passed away after a long struggle. He is defiantly in a better place now. Have spent the last couple of days making arrangements and all that has to be done. So little brother is in town and we thought we would sneak out tomorrow afternoon and spend a little time on the water in rememberance of our first and best fishing buddy. I know the day will be special no matter what but would sure like to catch a few. Not particular about what but would like to make it special if anybody might want to share suggestions on where to start I would be eternally grateful and certainly return the favor someday... Thanks in advance and say a prayer for our family

Like the new format and thanks

Okay I have decided to jump in on this trolling deal so ... I guess it's time to invest in some equiptment does anyone have any suggestions as to rods and line counter reels?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I've got a lowe aluminum 20 ft long 7 ft wide side console with a 4 stroke Mercury 115 and it is probably the best fishing boat I've ever owned... LOTS of room to move around in and doesn't do real bad in rough water. My only complaint is the lack of storage but gonna fix that as soon as I find a good fab shop that works with aluminum. Just my 2 cents

I for 1 really appreciate any info you guys are willing to post. I spend a lot of time reading this forum because as a truck driver this is as close as I can usually get to being on the water. Hopefully that will change one day but for now gotta roll. I really enjoy living vicariously thru you guys who are able to spend a lot of time on the water and just wanted to say thanks

Hey fins what spoon do you use on crappie I'm trying to assemble a spoon arsenal so any help from the fish whisperer would be appreciated..... Ha

Well that didn't work out to good lets try again. Have been wanting to try taneycomo would love an opportunity to fish it with folks that have more experience than me. Keep us posted if there might be a group activity happening in January.

What spoons yall using??? Can't hurt to ask .... Right

Hope the bite holds out till Christmas week... I'm gonna take off work my wife might get a mess of crappie for Christmas ...... Ha

Champ that's an excellent point and very well explained. Even a full time trucker and wannabe part time fisherman can put info like that to use...

So much to be thankful for Hope everyone had a wonderful day of food fun and fellowship. I hope to be out around eagle rock area on sat. I'll be in a BIG lowe flat bottom stop and say hey. Good night and god bless

Polar vortex, arctic blast etc. I always just called it winter....

That store has been awesome ever since they opened it...... Never had a bad experience there.

Totally off topic here but..... I need a good gunsmith to do some work on a couple 1911 anybody got suggestions?? Around cassville but don't mind driving

well was hoping to give a report on crappie fishing in the dam area but instead burned up the transmission in the wifes pickup right in the driveway pulling the boat out. so I have spent the weekend dealing with that we will try again soon.by the way good to meet you f&f looking forward to your reports as well as everyone else . this site has been a really great tool for us weekend warriors

1-10lb mushroom with 50 ft of nylon rope is what I use..... But also have a cinderblock and 50 ft more rope just in case. A little redneck but it works

Went to elmdale the other evening fished till about 11:00 pm lots of action and a few nice fish. Tied up to the poles out in the middle put out the lights and enjoyed a couple peaceful hours on the lake. Without being concerned about getting run over
