    Count me in... Mike

    Yes, one can still catch walleye below the dams in Jan and early Feb. although it ain't what it once was. The whites are more of a creek run thing but I know folks that beat them up pretty good when they run up to spawn every year. Bottom line, LOZ is better Plug. Run up to the headwaters of the Gravi/Niangua or below Truman and you will do much better. Mike

    X2. I like and want the difference. Mike

    I run two series 31 AGM batteries made by Duracell(110 ah) with my 80 Ulterra and they have performed well - I was able to pick them up at Sam's club for $179 each... Mike

    Make sure to PM the GPS coordinates.... Mike

    Coffman Beach access(MDC) off Hwy Y in the lower Gravois is your best ramp. Stickbaits and a-rigs in clearer water, crank baits and jigs in dirty water. Transition banks or bluff ends, there are lots to choose from on the North Shore. Mike

    I won't say they suspend in the basins on their way in and out because I can't support that statement with anything other than livewells full of 11"-15"crappie. Mike

    I don't keep any under 10 anyway...LOZ has enough fish it is not necessary. I have not heard this elsewhere though. Mike

    X2 on the Guidewear; bought mine one of the few times when they were on clearance and love them. I wear a full helmet and neoprene gloves when underway in bitter cold and stay quite warm. Mike

    Happy to see you are back at it! Mike

    Yes, our home lake require constant vigilance and eyes in the back of our heads - but she is a great fishery. Early and late we roam, but stay close to the lift weekends and mid-day. Mike

    Awesome story PD - I hope you are well! Mike

    Well, I don't think I have ever seen the water on LOZ moving like it was on the upper Niangua this week with $$$$ of damage done by current rather than level - too much too fast. Crazy stuff. Mike

    I have a 9.9 4-stroke for trolling crank baits but I use my electric with GPS for low speed(1mph or less) bottom bouncing. They can both do either and there are pluses and minuses to both - this is what works best for me. Mike

    If you have an older sea wall you are concerned about the best bet is likely to be to have rip rap laid against it - I have seen several properties do that recently and it seems to be a great solution given the new rules. Sorry to see folks losing things and property damage especially since I know how insurance companies typically roll.... Mike

    Agreed - and good points; at least there are no swimmers(or not many)in the water now like there were in July. Mike

    There aren't many rigs that could corral that once it got loose. After many years of regularly replacing cable we finally installed structural support arms in addition to our cabling. Sleep pretty good now, even in this weather, but you never know. Mike

    I have wrangled docks against wind and current and you ain't kidding Wrench - Somebody had to be asleep at the wheel to lose that. I was down over the weekend but would have needed waders to get up the ramp to the dock by the time the rain quit for a bit Sunday. Then got hung up in the I70 flooding heading home; it can clear up any time as far as I am concerned. Mike

    I upgraded to the Ulterra this year actually, and yes, it is ridiculous. I love ridiculous. Mike

    FWIW following the contour trolling is best with the electric at low speeds; i.e. bottoms bouncing for walleye. I usually do not use it when pulling cranks at higher speeds - just advanced I pilot. If you bottom bounce, however, it is the cat's meow having the Link. Mike

    I troll with my trolling motor lots and taking them all the way down is not recommended - always keep them topped off. If you need to replace I would suggest larger AGMs if you can stand the price pain, but again don't run them all the way down. I recently upgraded to an Ulterra and 31 AGMs and it is a very sweet combo. If you go to AGMs remember to switch your OB charger over from lead acid, they need to charge at a slightly higher voltage.

    X2 on the Terrova; love mine - also paired with the 'bird and Lakemaster cartography. If you run Lowrance I believe the Motorguide pairs with their software. Mike

    That's the one. He was fishing with Jim Frank, and the 70k fish in the BBB the previous fall(caught by Jamie Eynard) was also caught out of the back of this boat. No coincidence, good sticks. Mike

    I have caught many big crappie from LOZ but never one over 16" range. I know there have to be some in there and have seen pics of on caught nearby last year over 3# but those are the exception. Mike

    You gents are entitled to your beliefs, please by all means carry on in pursuit of those green fish. You might, however, just consider the next time you happen to notice the number of boats rigged with kickers, rod holders, etc. on the lake these days - just what in the world are those fellows are fishing for??? I'm pretty sure I know. Mike
