96 CHAMP

There will probably be fish in all stages of the spawn, Shakey head, wobble head, if on beds try a top water to aggregate them. Windy, try a spinner bait. Let’s not forget a senko either.

Good job JT, I'm heading down for 3 weeks of fishing and R&R soon.

I'll pass on it.

Try the Hawthorn Inn in Labadie Mo. I personally think it’s the best place anywhere near the St.Louis area

I haven’t been jerkbait fishing in the winter months in years but my personal best is 7-12 caught with deep diving spoonbill in silver and black as fishnwrench quoted.

Tired of getting beat up on the lakes myself, especially as I get older. My new to me 2000- 203 Champion will handle LOZ and any other water just fine.

I had a episode about two years ago, thought I was getting Covid, had diarrhea and sore throat, then later in the Evening I thought a cold moved into chest. All this happen a few weeks after being put on blood pressure medicine, went to bed that evening, got up next morning early and me chest was still a bit sore. Called the doctors office and nurse wanted me to go to ER, so I went, good thing, my widow maker artery as they call it was 85% blocked. I’ve changed what I eat, use no salt, eat lots of fruit and no processed junk food. Lucky to have my wife take care of me as she does

Bought a bushel of Romas last weekend and canned stewed tomatoes, celery, peppers, onion, & garlic

We were catching some nice ones all the way back as far as you could go in some specific coves, they were in 3’ of water. Good ole spinner bait

Fishing was good last week during the rain and storms, once the water rose I took a couple days off, went out yesterday afternoon for just a bit to see if I could get any chasers on spinner bait to no avail. With the wind today I reckon it will be a spinner bait or crank bait up around bushes, I’m thinking it may be a struggle.

Congrats on the weight loss Champ! Keep it up, you can do it.
