Come out and fish from 6:30-11:00 tonight at hickory creek. 100% payback! It's great to meet some of the guys from the forum and talk Fishin'! This 6lber was from last night...

I plan on being there next Friday night..shoot me a message Stump if anyone plans on getting ice. Buying it from the machine across from hook, line and sinker is by far the best value. I will also talk to Harvey (guy who runs the Friday nighters) when I pay in for the tournament. As I stated before, I'm sure some of the guys fishing off of the little fishing dock would love to have any bass that expire!

I agree champ...in our Castmasters club, any dead fish is taken home to be supper by one of the guys. It seems there is always 5 or 6 guys fishing off of the little fishing dock at prairie...I'm sure if one of us tourney guys went over and said 'hey, anyone want some bass to eat?' they would be very happy!! That would be better than buzzard or racoon food.

No man...didn't mean it directly towards you. Growing up around lake of the ozarks, stories of fishing stuff being stolen was a commen deal. For that reason, I have always kept my boat on the trailer when staying on the water. I hate hearing about anyone getting anything stolen..and didn't mean to offend you with my post.

I don't have the exact weights but around 11 1/2 was first and 10 1/2 was second. 3.22 was big bass(caught by a OAF member). We only had 9.75 and struggled to have a limit. Don't know what changed so much from Friday night (25 or so keepers) and last night (5 keepers)

Many years ago, I was fishing a Everstart tourney on Lake of the Ozarks. We were staying on the lake like a lot of guys..when we motored over to PB2 for day 2, we found out that some thieves had went into a resort in the glaize, cut loose several bass boats and pulled them out into the middle of the lake. They then loaded down one of the boats with everything from all the others and took off. I'm sure some of the guys on this board remember that...Lake of the Ozarks has always been really bad for stuff getting stolen from boats...like stump said, I don't know why anyone would leave anything of value on a dock!!

I could care less about them one way or the other...but don't think I would pass up the opportunity to throw a super spook over a Striper busting the top!!!!

100% payback from 6:30-11:00 at Hickory creek tonight...come out and fish with us! I know a few guys from this forum fish our jackpots but don't comment because of the tongue lashing they will get for fishing a summer tournament!?

He said he bounced that mag wart off of a rock pile and that Striper slammed it!

A friend of mine just caught this giant on Bull...on a v39 mag wiggle wart. 56 pounds!!!!

Yeah, I think I could pay for a year of college for my daughter if I sold out!!!

I actually traded for these..I had a couple prisms that a guy needed to complete his prism collection so I held out until he gave in and traded me all those craws. I might have a small wiggle wart problem though...the boxes in this pic are filled with all pre Rapala warts.

As most of you know, if you are a fan of the old wiggle warts, right now is the best time to buy them. I picked these up for a song...

My buddy went and grabbed his boat and I put mine on the trailer. Didn't get started fishing until about 8:00.

Great meeting you last night Brian...how did you do?

No sir...we used to be lite up pretty good with black lights all around the rub rail but we now fish in stealth mood!! Didn't count the spots..only had 3 or 4 of those anyway. Usually we catch a smallmouth or two but last night was all largemouth. We did see a couple nice 4-5 pounds stripers floating...must have been gut hooked.

1st....17lbs and change 2nd.....16lbs and change 3rd.....13.81lbs 4th.....13.31lbs I think there was 23 or 24 boats. Very pleasant night on the water with the rain running off most all of the wave maker boats!! We had 13.81 and never could get a big bite. Had between 25-30 keepers and a severe case of bass thumb!!!!

I'll see you out there Brian..ill be in a red/white 195 Ranger.

Let me know if you fish Friday.

Thanks Ryan...wish I could have had a sack like that in the Everett!!

Be carefull if you are out during the daytime this weekend. There will be a ton of boats on the water!! And Saturday night is the fireworks display at prairie...that will be a zoo!!!!

No sir...not sure who does the Friday nighters. I 'think' the hours are 7-2 but not sure.

We took off at 6:30 from Hickory Creek and most guys headed to main lake drops and points to throw big crankbaits and drag rigs. We caught a few doing this with one good one. Threre was some random top water action around 12 bridge but not as much as usual. After dark, it was completely random...one in brush, one on nothing at all, one on rocks...worm, brush hog and spinnerbait all caught fish. Caught them from 1 foot-20 foot of water!! Totally random, junk fishing!! We ended up with 14 or 15 keepers from 6:30-11:00. Water temp was 89-91
