Thoughts, good bad, gimmick ? Good for fish ?

I haven't been to Stockton in a while, August, I think. I thought that I had forgotten how to fish, but the little 1/4 oz Binks Arkansas shiner helped me gain some confidence. I had a mixed bag of small fish, I brought these home. I was a really nice day.

I have caught several under feeding bass. If you kind of make a short cast out away from the mob of feeding fish, let it fall below where you think the bass are, then work it like a wounded minnow under the school it works pretty good sometimes. I pick it up one good jump, let it die, then a couple of short weak hops, then a bigger jump, that kind of thing. My uncle caught a couple in 50 ish feet of water the other day. I think he said 5 keeper bass, 1 keeper walleye, 3 shorts, something like that. At night they get shallow.

I have always wanted to do the new years current river float. Is it still going on ?

Kind'a like this one. August 2019 Stockton Lake something like 20 fow dropshot trick worm.

How about Nirvana the mash potatoes, here we are now mash potatoes, instead of entertain us. I remember weird al yankovic ?

I don't know but if you don't like it, let me know. It's 02:19 11/14, are you up😁

Your face isn't very hairy for this time of year😃. It was a great video !

I think we should call someone (who ever it is) and make them include beaver lake on the border lakes licence. That would save me $40.

I am pretty sure that I have some picture with the same background 😁. There is walleye in my pic's too. You caught some good ones !

I am 2 miles west of walleye rd😁 You did good !

I thought this was funny, fast forward to about 7 minutes

Just in case you thought you don't need anything else.

No, but this area has a lot pressure on it. It is close to a ramp, wide and slow, perfect for a new kayaker. He had fun, and that was the goal.

1st time in a kayak for him, I would add that he has grown up on the creek, and in the woods. I will probably get a thrashing for the lack of a life vest but that's ok. He is a natural in the yak.

Right on !!! You found some good ones.

I think walleye like 6 ppm and 60 degrees, last I read. Sucks to be a walleye right now. I reckon they would be in the 26ft range. Does any one know what happens where a spring comes in, does the DO go up or down ?

That sounds wonderful !

It's all fun until you almost die once then it kind'a changes things, if I am alone, I'm good, if I am kayaking or canoeing with someone, I get extra alert. Considering weather, and the time it takes to plan and float safely, this is an awesome accomplishment, a lifetime of float trips, I can't imagine all the neat scenic views !

Me either, I can't go without fishing, I just can't.

I guess I am too cautious, back when I owned a canoe I almost always had a child with me. Once when floating shoal creek (about a 7 mile stretch ) my son and I found a lot of brush piles, downed trees and swift water, I had several close calls with my son. I had floated that section many times without a problem. I know shoal creek has no where near the drop per mile of the water that you frequent. I have done some backpacking in S.E. Mo. I am pretty sure some of those rivers drop 14ft per mile ? It has been a while . Getting trapped in a brush pile does not sound like an ideal way to leave this world. So my question: when floating the wild water in your area, how do you know if it is clear, or do you just go for it and deal with the consequences ? That is quite an accomplishment for sure !

Very nice thank you for sharing !

Hey I know that spot😁

Be careful with those trolling motor wires, they can catch fire ! I check mine frequently if I am using it hard.
