96 CHAMP

That's funny and interesting.

They were talking about it at LOZ this morning from one of the local radio stations out of St. Louis this morning. It's just like anything else, wait till it's so bad then cry about it.

That is exactly why I stay off the lakes during the summer. been there, done it, not any more. Do I like it, no, nothing I can do about it.

Watch the video

I found this to be very interesting, thought you guys may also.http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?m=1102224436468&ca=c21adecd-4e44-49c5-8807-8037c9cb22c0

I have been using 3/8" shrink tubing cut in 1/4 lengths. I seal them up with a lighter before I go and they last real well.

Ridiculous for sure, I figured you'd have something to say. Have a good weekend!

Go Figure! SUNRISE BEACH, Mo. (AP) - Bigger boats driving at higher speeds are causing tension on and off the water at Lake of the Ozarks. The Kansas City Star reports the issue isn't new on the lake but residents and others say the problems have grown along with the wakes left behind by the speeding, larger boats. Some landowners and business owners complain the large wakes repeatedly cause expensive damage to docks and the shoreline, as well as reducing the peacefulness of the lake. Because the damage comes from the waves, not the boat itself, state patrol troopers cannot issue tickets. Rep. David Wood, whose district includes lake property, says it's difficult to reach a compromise between those who want to limit boat sizes and marina dealers and other who have invested in larger boats

I would not hold my breath on a infrastructure bill.

T, same here unfortunately, I would love to come down for a week in the summer, if I did I would plan to only fish at night. Then that ruins the week with family as you can't do both, enjoy family during the day and fish at night. Years ago you could drift around and drop shot fish while swimming periodically, with all the big boats and loss of respect for others it's impossible. Late October thru May is the ticket.

All that rain and flooding sure caused a lot of troubles Pepe. Hope you all get it cleared out!

Glad to see you guys had a good time & we will see you all soon.

Way to go Quillback, seems you two had a good day. Be fortunate you got out with Champ, the first time we tried he had motor issues. Congrats to both of you!!

Congratulations, I bet the youngster had a blast. I caught a bunch of nice fish over there this spring, glad to see you found them. Should be some big ones over there at night I would think.

That is a good idea Quillback!!

Is that a new boat you have RPS?

I got the same E-mail Quillback. I will probably buy a couple and try them out.l

Great day, congrats

RPS, do you happen to know the magic temperature so to say for the bluegill to spawn.

That sir is a offer no one should refuse! I sure wish I was available but I have chores up to my eyeballs at this moment. I would love to learn about chasing them eyes! Good luck!!

Amazing isn't it??

Stone County Emergency Management put it out on a facebook page also

Sure hope it doesn't get much higher for your sake. Good luck!!
