crappiefisherman

hello, My name is John Koch. i am a lifelong nativce of branson.Born in 1963 at skaggs hospital.Alot has changed but the lakes are still my favorite spots.I favor bull shoals over t rock because I can be semi alone and not fight the waves in my search of the elusive 16 inch crappie.My father was a fishing guide in the 60s and 70s here on taneycomo and I never have seemed to get back in the trout groove since then. my biggest rainbow was 11 lbs and some and was caught in bull creek on a small brown jig, while fishing for huge spawning bluegills. If anyone can remember consumers and walmarts fishing contests I won both in same week with same fish.Ha Ha Ha...., Thank you for this forum and this site.P.S. does K dock give fishing reports?

you are correct.THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE WHITE BASS ACTIVITY IN THE K DOCK AND SURROUNDING AREA FOR COUPLE YEARS.i did come across a large school this summer in flats by ramp but next day nothing to be seen. The gar are everywhere, and I honestly didnt see a lot of kentuckies surfacing this year.I am very happy with the crappie in the area and notice numerous beds in the k dock area out of the water now.I caight more keeper crappie then culls every trip. I also am very appreciative in the walkway at the kdock ramp.No more wet tennis shoes firswt thing in the morning.Any one notice that a gar tap and a crappie tip are close,,,,,but the gar really gets your attention on ultra lite.

thanks for the welcome.I love to catch crappie on bull shoals.My small champion is outclassed on Table Rock, i like to see my line dance.I enjoy your site and never really had anything to say.I am the guy that needs a prop for my minnkota mag 18. They are hard to come by. Gosh I think ive rambled on enough .Have a wonderful day.

if you get where you cant stamnd it any more, holler and ill come and haul it all away for you.John
