I never had a problem, until I got the giant side scan transducer that rides below the plane of the boat. More is not always better.

Tried it out yesterday, It works ! I will be selling these soon, its boat stuff, so they will cost at least $50.

Thanks, that is kind'a what I do in the winter when throwing a jerkbait, but I know where to go on Stockton haven't really figured out tablerock yet.

Windy, rocky banks, that got shade first, in the afternoon. Hope that helps.

Thought that I might look for some of those Tablerock walleye, didn't find any😥 Found these few scraggly bass, with the drop shot. They were in the 10 to 12ft range. Also had a handful of baby bass. Got a late start at around 11 am.

Got tired of the giant rooster tail washing one side of my motor cowling. Here is my fix, poor peoples' got poor ways. Hope this helps, most welders will have a trash can full of these.

If one picks up the #10 lb walleye that I have been waiting for, I will jump on that thing and choke it out ! I am sure there will be blood, from both of us.

That is what I was thinking. Maybe it is disabled due to it being a jet.

Sorry Larry for helping to take this thread to uncharted territory. It happens😁

And we digress 😂 We are talking about the ned here come on 😁 I am going to have to poke my "minds eye" out now. Yuck !😲 We are having fun now. I need to go fishing

I almost boated a big one using a spoon and spinning tackle, i had a friend with me, but no cut gloves, i might have got it landed with gloves or a glove. Anyway it looked about as big as they get around here. At least 4.5 ft long, i don't have any idea the weight, it was big enough that the guy that was with me just stood there with his mouth open for what seemed like 10 minutes 😁 So yes i think that a guy could catch something on some old underwear. There is a joke there somewhere. Oh we were talking about the ned😂

Alright i am getting an Arkansas fishing licence ! I bet a big spoon would be good too !

Here you go, i have done this on bullshoals, beaver creek area, july. I used a piece of bow fishing line, it was a great moment with my son.😁

I do better with some sun, always have. I wondered if some of those schools were big shad. Had 3 large schools under to boat, threw 1/2 of basspro at them, nada.

That looks like my screen Saturday.

For sure, prey drive, that's it.

It looks like a crawdad, minnow, tadpole wormy, thingy. That is my scientific speak. Oh and 50yrs ago dad use to take the pinchers off all the crawfish we fished with. Wish i had thought of it !

Wow nice !!

I went Saturday/today, about got skunked, started late quit early frustrated. You all did good.

You will cast about 4 times farther too. My uncle was a skeptic, we were throwing to the bank, he was using mono, he kept saying, move closer, I said here try mine, he threw it with the same enthusiasm, the weightless fluke ended up about 10 feet high in the trees, that is the difference. The no stretch characteristic gives better feed back. Maybe this will help...Copied from the berkley web site: Stretch—Mono stretches more than superlines and more easily than fluorocarbon, which gives it a forgiveness factor other lines can’t match. If your drag sticks or you set the hook too hard, mono compensates by stretching up to 25 percent or more. While mono has many benefits, there are tradeoffs. For example, because of its stretchiness, it’s not overly sensitive. If you need to detect ultra-light bites, discern subtle changes in bottom composition or feel what your lure is doing at all times—especially at long distances—a superline or fluorocarbon is a better choice. Like I said. I use braid, with a leader, I try to get the best of both worlds. You will just have to try it. After you use it for a couple years just spool it from one reel to another all the stuff that you never use at the bottom of the spool will be at the top then you are good for another couple years/

Right on !!!

I use high vis 10lb spiderwire stealth braid, the stealth braid, designation is important, don't get the other stuff. I use a leader usually some good 10# florocarbon but i sometimes go up to 15# when throwing the spoons. I can buy the stuff at buds bait, or walmart. It will last more than a year of fishing.

Nice rock bass or goggle eye whatever it is. Very neat !

Thank you all for the fine and detailed bass reports and info, but what about the crappie with this high water? Anybody making it through the debris to the crappie ? Thanks

I wonder who won that tournament and what was the #. I usually don't care, but who knows we could have another state record in there.
