Believe what you want but I just came back from the river today . Just floated Greer to Turner and caught a good number of fish. Looked like it’s been stocked recently . One group we floated by were catching them very well . They had some really nice ones . Good luck !

That’s fantastic ! Much respect

First thought was an older XPS bait . Looks like it’s an Ozark Trail . The color listed in the image is wrong though .

Last week of Feb . Into the first week of March of this year

I’ll add on to this , since we’re sharing our trips . I’ll stick up for the Florida strain haha .First time for me to lake fork. The 5-8lb fish the time of year I was there fought harder than any large mouth I’ve ever caught . They would dog you for a while then come up to the boat like they were done only to absolutely go ace duece . Lost a lot that size on the jerkbait that were just too hot to handle on my little table rock jerkbait rod . Set my PB the second day I was there with an 11.80 . Also had my heaviest 5 fish bag at 33 lbs . Should have had 5 that went 40 , which is just stupid to say haha . Lost several of those 7 -8lber that day . I can’t wait to go back. But like Bill Mentioned it was packed . And apparently by Fork standards pressure was light .

My second biggest came from up there . It was right around 10lbs . Seen one in the back of deckers when it was flooded that had to of been a Double Digit too .

Robbie Dodson would be my choice . https://www.dodsonguideservice.com

It’s crazy how many love to hang out under the boat/motor . I’m always wondering if it’s the prop they see flashing ? Or just the shade ? I’ve seen them leave a piece of cover and swim right to the boat .

Nah you will be fine . The piles are marked down that bank . The brush is right under the fishing dock . Casting out and tight lining shouldn’t be a problem for you

I’ve seen plenty of crappie come from that access . There is a fishing dock down there that’s loaded with brush . The channel bank to the north of the ramp is brushed pretty good . I’ve also seen people catching them from the access dock as well . It would be worth a try . I hear the crappie are really biting up there .

Nice one . Looks like a Meanmouth?

I think the person I painted these for called them Missouri craw?

I’m def not calling anyone out . It’s not the context of whether you’re for or against . Love it or hate . It’s the actual conversation I can’t stand . A mere mention of FFS gets an instant reply of “here’s my thoughts on FFS”. It’s played out and I just choose to not engage in the conversation to the point of not posting just on the off chance the post turns into … well kinda what this one has .

I’ve been fishing a couple of times a week for the past couple months. But the internet voices have made it very apparent that they have no use for reports that involve or utilize FFS . The last thing I want to do is start another argument on that crap. So I remain silent . I really enjoy reading Dutch and Quills reports and anyone else who posts. Sad the hot topic yesterday was a bifocal post haha.

Once you take that last bend and start heading southwest is where I start to get uneasy about it. I’m sure you can run on up from there but it’s not going to be without risk .

Nice fish!! is that your big for this year quill ?

Weights were very low . I know this time of year is tough but man . Those are some low weights only 11lbs to make day 2 .

I was surprised too . Not only was it shut down but labeled as “ hate speech “ . It’s pathetic . But the thread is open now so let’s just forget it happened 😂

Hate speech …. That’s ridiculous . Labeling a conversation as hate speech is a far worse than anything anyone said. Why can’t we talk about conservation issues like above without censorship ? I kinda understand the political aspect to this . But hate speech? get real @Terrierman.

Nothing pisses me off more ! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/zYsXbwYvgeV4WKWh/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Ive never seen him criticized on here !? Maybe other locals are mad off forum for “ giving away “ too much ? Who knows.

Apparently it’s one of the great mystery’s on the forum .

I’ve been catching them for three weeks now off the beds. Last week there were shad starting to spawn . Also caught some post spawners that were schooling on shad . Senko had been good . Dixie jet thrown to the schoolers was working . Also small swimbait and top water.
