Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely check out bass boat central

I have a 2004 Triton I’m planning on putting up for sale at the end of the summer. Great boat, but I need a more family friendly tubing vessel at this point in my life. My question - is there a reputable boat valuation site to help me decide on my asking price? I’ve searched Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, and referenced NADA only to return a wide range of estimated values. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated

Sarcasm doesn’t come across real well in print without the blue font. I agree with you champ - across the spectrum citizens are ignoring rules, laws, and mandates being implemented for the greater good and claiming it violates their personal freedoms. It’s selfish BS.

Why should anyone follow speed restrictions on the lake? Everyone is aware of the risks speeding around in their boats at night - if someone chooses to take that risk, it’s their right. It’s all about personal freedom

Wheeler has caught at least some of his fish today with a googans rattling Ned on a drop shot. Quite a feat in that wind. Can’t think of any fisherman better with the forward sonar.

It’s $5 at the gate. The machine takes cash or credit card

Yes it’s a public ramp. It gets crowded and sometimes the gate doesn’t work, but other than that I’ve never had a problem there. Mill Creek is another option in the area if for some reason POK won’t work for you

Joe bass big bass was 4.89. Winning bag was 20lbs. Sounds like most fish were caught on the arig over trees

Got on the water about 7am Thursday. Found just a few fish on the shaky head biting in front of the flooded brush in 8-10 feet of water. Those fish seemed to vanish after a quick storm rolled through. Thrs evening and Friday morning we caught several keepers working a jig and wobble head on bluff ends. Bites were still to few and far between, so Friday evening we went searching for actively feeding fish in the shallows. We found them in the very back of cow creek. Caught 6 keepers between 5-7pm. All of the fish were in less than 5 feet of water and most were relating to the creek channel. Caught 2 on a shaky head with a speed craw and 4 more on the wobble head with a kvd rodent. Had about another half dozen short fish. Went back to cow Saturday morning around 6am but couldn’t recreate what happened the evening before. We worked the creek over and only had 1 keeper and 3 shorts to show. Ran around the spring branch and then fished schooner with little luck. I did hook up a nice 5lber in schooner on a tube, but the fish launched itself completely out of the water and spit my lure right at the boat. I lost at least 5 good fish after the hook up over the course of 3 days. They seem to be biting weird - just picking it up and then running right at the boat. Definitely seems to be a lot of fish with the summer mush mouth. The other boat I was with faired a bit better - they caught about a 16 keepers over the course of 3 days fishing a jig in 25-30 fow on lake points with deep water access. They caught predominantly smallies. Hope this info helps. Good luck out there grinding through the hot days.

Bang for the buck - whats the best lure retriever out there? Should I just pony up and get a Tim Horton money pole?

Nice fish. The Broncos gear makes the pics look that much better!

Coyotes at what's up dock doesn't open until memorial day

Anyone have an opinion/advice on the kigan guides vs microwave guides on the ducket micro guide pro spinning rods? Looking to pair it with a daiwa rg reel. Mostly drop shot and weightless plastic fishing. Maybe some shaky head fishing. Thanks in advance.

Sums up our trip: Was loading up at the port of kimberling ramp about noon yesterday. Had the boat out of the water when i saw James Watsons boat coming around the corner. He had a camera guy on board rolling footage. Watched him catch a short fish on a buzz bait. Then he yelled out to me, "this lake sucks". I agreed back, "today it does" Shot the breeze with him a bit - he was super friendly. Said that short he just caught was the only bite he had all morning. Talked about how tough the lake was right now. toyota results say the same thing - 3lbs got you in the top 30! Didn't fish the tournament, but experienced much of he same. Had 3 keepers and 11 shorts between our 2 boats sat, sun, and Monday. Junk fishing at its best (worst?). Biggest was 2.54 caught on the ned. Best bite was back in west fisher creek. Had what looked to be about a 3lber come off at the boat half way back into the creek - had her hooked briefly on a tube will be back in 3 weeks looking for my revenge - and hopefully a sustainable pattern.
