Got out today and caught 1 smallie about 14" and multiple spotted bass. Biggest was about 16". Also caught my first orange spotted sunfish. Two new species in one day. Excited to get out there in the morning and try some topwaters!

Leaving Sunday @ 6AM. Getting pumped!

Ah, gotcha!

Nice fish! Dumb question maybe...what's a google eye?

Awesome, thanks for the input guys! I would love to get a guide for a day but I don't think I have the funds for that on this trip. I've got plenty of senkos, gopher jigs and other random plastics. I'm excited to get down there and hopefully dry off a couple fish.

You guys probably hate these posts, but here it goes. My girlfriends family invitied me to spend a few days in the Branson area and of course I wanted to go, unfortunately I don't have a boat. We are staying at still water..If I could sneak away for a few hours or maybe a whole day, would it be worth venturing around TR or should I try somewhere else in the area? I'd love to catch a smallie or two or maybe get my girlfriends grandpa in to some panfish action. Thanks in advance.
