    I heard the bite was on?? 2nd hand info, I will try to look for myself. Tablerock was real good last week.

    I have heard of a couple 13 lbs being caught. I guess those are really rare. Just so everyone knows if I get a 13 lb'er it's go'n on the wall !

    The Chief was very polite, I was just poking some fun, I sure hope we can have a summer fishing trip some where and talk for real. It is easy to be misunderstood in text. Thank you all for the invites. We have to fish as much as possible, the Chief and I are not getting any younger.

    Very cool, loved this post. I sure would love to go along on one of those "collecting female walleye" trips I bet they see some whoppers !

    I troll a lost of cranks around that time for suspend crappie, it works good!

    I always tie the double uniknot, but sometimes it will brake off right at the knot instead at the jig, I am careful to keep everything lubed when cinching the knot. I wonder if this will solve that problem. I will give it a whirl, Thanks for the post.

    Thought that I would let you know the crappie are on the banks at Viola. My friend Steve caught 50+ from my boat, I caught 3. One of his was 15" and 2 lbs We took 10 home.

    I deleted it sorry ! I loved that spot, my kids pretty much grew up fishing and swimming there.

    I met a guy Bill Millican while floating the area, he owned 450 acres of bottom ground south of the old wolfibarger bridge and just above McNatt church, anyway he and I became friends. He let me hunt and fish as much as I wanted. As it turns out no one could get a long with him, and he never let people hunt. I hunted there at least 5 years and countless fishing trips. I never once had a problem with him.

    I did not mean to point out someones honey hole. It has been years since I have been in that area, I might have to make a trip, or maybe I will just leave my memories as they are.

    Don't get discouraged, it takes a few to get it figured out. After fishing Stockton for a year I sold my little bass boat and bought a deep v with full windshields and a trolling motor with a spot lock feature. That way I can easily stay on those windy points (Hint) Now it is a lot more fun to not catch fish.

    I know you are right, with the wind things could dry out quickly. Thanks for the complements.

    Awesome day !

    Here is a pic of my friend , he and I fished T. Rock yesterday. That dude can catch the crappie 50+ total with this one being the largest. All came on a 16th oz red, blue and white feather jig. I didn't have any I threw everything in my box and caught 3 one keeper. They were on the banks in the morning and in the shady banks in the afternoon.

      Sweet...that's a nice crappie. Sounds like you had a great day watching and learning. I'm ready for it to start up at Stockton.

    Thanks now we know. Thank you very much for asking.

    I saw a family of otters this winter near R.Bluff west. I was at sunset, they were very vocal. It was really neat !

    Walleye, was it in Missouri ? There's what I remember reading...something about some real nice bass and then 24" WALLEYE. Tell me more !

    The spinner bait bite is great on spring river right now. Haven't tried it in the lake, for said reasons.
  18. dan hufferd
    Shoot that boat should be cheap by now. We all have bad days (well maybe not that bad) they makes the good ones really good ! You will probably slay the fish next time out.
  19. dan hufferd
    These were near one of my fish holes, looks like they are just getting started. I found these little dudes in just a few minutes. This is a new spot for me. Total 15 all the same size, small.
  20. dan hufferd
    Dude that is a great picture !
  21. dan hufferd
    jtram,I used to fish that area, and many surrounding creeks, that pattern is always the same. Indian creek from Boulder city to McNatt was good fishing, not good floating. Little Sugar was good in spots too. There should be some mushrooms on the banks by now.

    I understand the river code and lake code differences. I guess I can understand the boat ramp thing ie. where you put your boat in. To be honest I never really thought of the possibility of a violation until we all started looking into it. I always go with the lake laws and limits, because I will be back out in the lake at some point during my trip. No conflict for me. Not bragging, but my wife and I caught enough post spawn crappie last year, we set our own length limit of 12". Really it's about keeping more and better fish in OUR water. My motto is "When in doubt,chuck it out." I have really enjoyed learning how to catch walleye from Stockton, I would like to take as many home with me as the law will allow, but I equality want a large healthy population with the possibility of a wall hanger. I don't mind throwing some back. Maybe when I get good at it I will set my own walleye length limit at 20" who knows

    MoPanfisher, I sure appreciate your input on this topic, it has been interesting. I don't think you all are splitting hairs at all. Back to walleye for a minute...some states get very picky about when to catch walleye in the river. And I am sure in the right situation a Missouri game warden would too. I haven't read it in awhile but once you are in the river you can only fish 1/2 hour after dark and a 1/2 hour before light, on the lake you can catch a spawning walleye all night.

    Bull Shoals is a bit of a jog for me. I have fished and bow fished (for gar) the beaver creek area some, but never for walleye. I have a couple days off and was thinking that I might run down there. I only visited beaver creek during the 1st big flood about a year and half ago, I haven't been back.

    Have you seen any walleye? Do you think I should wait until everything warms up ?

    Any info would be great, if not I understand. Sorry for the clumsy wording I have been up all night.

    You are in the next day so I say legal. Now that you have eight you are done until after the walleye dinner.
