  1. Well...... I figured I would get this fired up.... Coming down Saturday - Tuesday. How are things looking in this area, is there a big mud line coming from the Kings?
  2. Keep after it! Good luck fishing with your son in the coming weeks!
  3. Please be mindful of scammers reaching out with items for sale. I had someone message me on here saying they had a friend with the item i was looking for and an email address. Both had accounts on the site, but the messages are now gone from my inbox. It smelled scammy but figured i would play along to see how they went about things. They wanted me to venmo or Zelle the money for the item, i looked at the venmo and noticed where they had got someone for a rod. asked for their phone number to call, it was a Houston, TX area number, went to voice mail with a middle eastern recording. Be diligent!
  4. Managed to get out a few mornings this week, Monday until 8:00 AM or so and Tuesday a little later. I was able to get a great friend and vendor out on Tuesday morning for a bit, he had never experienced table rock so it was quite the treat. The deep fishing takes some time to figure out but he did great with a little swimmer and figured out the dixie jet. Had 30+ fish Monday morning, it was incredible fishing, a double on top to start things off, that was the only TW bite i had. had a 14 in a row streak with the little swimmer, they were just chewing good. Went to try a crappie hole and they were there too, biting the Jet on every drop. several in the 14'-15' range, dinner plate size. My time ran out and had to get to work. Tuesday was not as fast a furious but we ended with 40+ combined, the crappie slid up under the dock another 10' and we couldn't get to them. All in all an excellent few mornings. I haven't been able to get down much this year but enjoying the time i can. 3/4oz Dixie Jet and 1/4 oz swimmer did almost all the damage.
  5. 1/2 the price of a tank of fuel!
  6. 196champ,  Good to hear that someone else on the Ozark Angler website lives near me.  I live off of Diehr near Hopewell.  I always try to buy my tackle gear at Bullseye.  I would much rather pay a little bit extra to support a local store than a "box" store.  But, I just can't see spending the money for those glide baits.  I'll stick to the bigger Keitechs and other swimbaits.  Hope to meet you some day.

      They are great people and i try to purchase everything from them as well.

      Don't discredit the Spro glide bait as they were $60 each, that's the price of 10 packs of Keitechs and could last you a life time if you dont get it hung!

      Going to table rock sunday-tuesday and will give it a go there.

      Thanks!

      Brad, I am going to be heading down there tonight.  We have a small team tournament down there on Saturday.  I will be fishing around Kimberling City.  I'll try to remember to send you a fishing report.  Frank

      Thanks Frank!

      We have a place in Shell Knob.

      Unfortunately i havent been down yet this year.

      I am going down sunday-tuesday.

      Let me know hoe it goes!

       

  7. Went down to the little pond again last night and made a few casts. This one decided to try and swallow it.
  8. I picked up a few last night from Bullseye Bait and Tackle here in O'Fallon, MO. Went down to the neighborhood pond to see how it worked and had this one first cast!
  9. Definitely a bait you don't lose many of, i had a dozen hanging in the basement and that many more headed my way.....oh well, could be spending the money in a tavern...... come to think of it, i have been using the same one since i got them, replaced the hooks a few times, she is definitely beaten and battered but still catchin em.
