Good one Champ?

I hadn't really planned on coming back down for a while but it's hard to resist if a jerkbait bite shows up, we will have to wait and see, Good luck

Nice fish, thanks for the pictures

Sounds like a good time, keep up the fish catching!!

Good report, thanks, wish I could be there but fished LOZ today and caught 5 total with 2 nice keeper blacks, & 3 big whites with several smaller ones all on jerkbait

I just read your report from Friday, looks like you did good yourself, very good!! I thought about throwing spinner or buzz bait today but I wanted to stay with the jerkbait, seems when you start throwing to much stuff in stead of staying with a targeted plan things don't pan out as well, when ever I throw the jerkbait I look for one bite, hopefully a big one, everything else is just a bonus, and yes that color seems to produce in that stained water, just wish I could keep the whites away from it, It's nice to know I'm not the only nut out there fishing, I seen two boats today. Good luck to ya!!

went back to a buddy of mine today as I left my boat down Wednesday, that day I found a pretty good jerk bait bite later in the day and went back to get my boat, put in about 11:00 and right away caught a nice keeper, then commenced to catch more big whites, within 45 minutes the light switched off & that was it until later, ended up with 5 keepers altogether 2 blacks and 3 whites with about 5 small blacks in between. Had a great time & in my opinion there isn't any better way to fish than with a jerkbait, water temp dropped to about 52-54, sure wish I could have stayed Thursday, I believe that would have been the day, Happy Holidays and good luck fishing.

yes sir & good luck in your search for a boat

Granted I don't get to use mine as much as some of you that live by the lake, but I believe with a little effort they can be taken care of, #1 is keep them inside if possible, #2 transport them with a cover on them, #3 keep them waxed and clean regularly, & #4, be cautious around docks, if I was to by a used boat and could find a well taken care of Champion I wouldn't hesitate to by, I have had no issues with this boat, that is my experience with Champions

That is a great report, glad you had a good time, I didn't get to TR but took a quick trip to LOZ yesterday and found a good jerk bait bite in the wind and stained water, caught some real nice whites and blacks

I have that picture on my screen saver in my truck, He was the DUKE!!

Probably my best John Wayne movie, Happy Thanksgiving to ya

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Thanks for the info, We will see what Happens

What is the water temp wrench if you would , I am going to come Down Wednesday,

I don't have the quite the years on me as you have, but yes the older we get the harder it is, Especially when you have to work in the cold, then top that off with R.A. on top of that. Makes my hands hurt like a "son of a gun".

It's windy as all get out and blowing snow around like crazy up here, thought about going to LOZ but decided no, thinking about wednesday

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it, not sure if I can make it or not this weekend, for sure cannot next weekend, those fellows sure caught some fish up on the Osage the other day, that was a good outing!!

Glad it worked out for ya, nothing like when a plan works out , what is the water temp you are getting down there,

That sure made up for Sunday, nice catch

That sure made up for Sunday, nice catch

nice fish, way to go, & thanks for sharing, to bad you lost the good one

Good luck to ya

just where exactly are you on the lake wrench?? The weather will be lousy I see, and what about the large mouth, I was at table rock over the weekend and did well on spinner bait, square bill and top water.Was wandering if the same would apply at LOZ
