Lol Id fish with you too butthead! Thanks for following up with that great response from your sources muskie Bob! That sounds like there is a good resource to go to with issues and questions! Seemed very helpful. We can all have a good debate or conversation on here and not get too butt hurt about it and I appreciate that.

I will agree with butt head that I could've helped the situation by turning around and leaving. Im sure my actions didn't really help the situation. I just don't like being treated like a dog by a complete stranger yelling at me. Looking back I could've handled it a little more maturly, but at the time I was pretty well hacked. I'm not happy with my actions or his and I just wanted to bring this issue up to maybe inform others of what happend so that maybe it doesn't happen to anyone else. I have no hard feelings for any of you on here that posted your opinions of the situation as that is your right to do so! So thanks everyone for your 2 cents!

Hey butthead, last time I checked the marina is on a lease and is owned by city utililities. My point is that some people have no courtesy or tact and obviously no people skills. I've fished up there since I was a little boy and will continue to do so as long a s I feel like it. I won't be harassed or berated or feel intimitaded by people like that punk or like yourself. I was looking forward to spending a little time up there quietly fishing and relaxing on Saturday and that experience ruined it for me. I deal with people all day everyday that patronize the business I work for and right or wrong I would never speak to them the way he did to me. Someday he'll say something to the wrong guy that doesn't give a s@#$ and he'll put him in the hospital. As for me I won't waste my time on trashy ignorant people.

Muskie Bob, please let me know what you find out. I've emailed city utilities and the conservation dept. I'm hopeful someone will contact me this week about my inquiries.

I couldn't agree more. The old owners were so much better than these new ones. I wonder how long their lease is for? Hopefully its up soon.

Wow! I thought maybe this was an isolated incident! I guess not! Its a shame people are such butt bags to other people who are simply FISHING! It was an honest mistake. The people who own lease that should be ashamed. I've never been screamed at that loud ever in my entire life. One things for sure; it'll never happen again. My father always told me to keep my mouth shut because you never know who you're gonna piss off, because some people don't care to stomp a mud hole in your butt. I would offer that advice to the people in that shitty marina.

I fished this morning from the fishing dock on the east end to the marina. Caught several on spinnerbaits and jigs along that bank. When I got to the marina, I continued fishing into the cove where the marina is located on the opposite bank. As I unhooked a bass I had just caught on a spinnerbait, someone yelled "Hey!!!" I turned around and saw a younger guy standing on the end of the dock. He yelled "You can't fish in here!!" So I ask "why not?" He said "this cove is reserved for handicapped fishing only!" At this point I'm on the defense because he's yelling at me like I'm committing a felony. So I ask "according to whom?" He said the "Missouri conservation department." So I turned my boat around and was just going to fish my way back out (which was only about 50yds.) I made a cast and he screamed at the top of his lungs "that means quit casting your f*#@ing rod and get the f#$@ outta here. At this point I had about enough of his harassment so I said "f@#$ you what are you gonna do about it call the cops?" He stormed off back into the office. Now, they have old worn out buoys out there and I just figured they were for a no wake zone. As I passed the one I had passed earlier, it mearly says "keep" at the top and faded "out" at the bottom. It was a simple mistake on my part folks. This guy flew off the handle and screamed at me for accidentally fishing where you're not supposed to. Needless to say I will NEVER patronize that marina other than to get my stupid yearly sticker. Maybe the conservation department should get some signage out there so this guy doesn't have a brain hemmorage next time someone like myself accidentally cross the imaginary line.

Have you fished fellows before Buford? Not sure where your coming from or what species your after but I would save my gas before I drove 2 hours to fish that lake. Just my opinion.

If you run down toward the dam, you'll find buoys where you can't go any further. Run that line of buoys and watch your graph for fish and shad balls. You'll find them along there. Walleye too.

You can also buy a book of every lake in Missouri at Walmart or bass pro, and they are pretty detailed with channels and have great topography. Might cost $20 but very well worth it when on a lake you've never been on. I was on fellows yesterday and me and a friend caught 30 or so whites and one walleye. Fishing's getting a little better, but the water temps are still low 40's.

What species of fish are you mainly targeting? Bass fishing there can be good, however in my experience I have 2 good trips for every 15 bad ones. I fish table rock and Stockton mainly but go there sometimes just to satisfy my addiction when I have limited time. The same tactics that are used on trl and Stockton seem to produce jack squat on fellows. But that's just my opinion. Now, walleye and muskie on that lake are a whole other story. I'll be more than happy to offer what I know!

There is a good population of whites and a good population of nice walleye in that little lake.Sorry it took me so long to respond, I almost forgot I posted this topic. I've been finding whites chasing balls of shad in about 50-60 feet. I usually vertical jig spoons for them right on the bottom. A 3/4 oz silver or white spoon to mimik shad. One thing to remember if you start catching fish that deep is to be sure and look for their air bladder in their throats. If its blown up, gently puncture it with a hook if you're going to release them. People will argue that's not the proper way but I've released hundreds that way and haven't had one die yet that i know of. If you can find shad balls, and start catching whites, you'll catch walleye too mixed in. I had a good stringer of 5 walleye last month that probably weighed close to 20lbs. Also, any day that's overcast and has a stiff north wind, fish the banks that the wind is pounding with a jerkbait or a rig and you WILL catch some bigger walleye and the occasional BIG Muskie. I'm going up there tomorrow morning for a few hours and hopefully will have something to report on tomorrow afternoon. Let me know if I can help you with anymore little tips. That lake it a weird one and I've only figured that stuff out in the last few years!!

Has anyone been doing any good on fellows? I've had a couple good trips recently. Caught 30-40 whites a couple weeks ago and had another good walleye trip here lately. Just wondering what everyone else is doing?

You may try bouncing a football jig pb&j colored with a net bait table rock red trailer. i did well this past weekend fri and sat on jigs, and if you can night fish i would highly recommend throwing a single spin after dark in 15 fow or less. I had a lot of keepers on a single spin after dark, also boated a 4.5lbs smallie. Good luck.

Anyone had any good night trips for bass recently? I'm headed up this afternoon to fish into tomorrow morning if can stay awake that long. Any moral boosting stories would be appreciated.
