That's a good day. Thanks for sharing

Thanks John, I know where there is a grove of paw paws but I have to wade the creek about a 1/4 mile. I haven't found the time.

One small tree on the trail produced these.

I would drop them in the lake 1st trip out. I will have to stay with my yum glasses. Sorry i can't do it

I had that trouble too until I figured out that what I was seeing and where I marked it are two different things. In other words when you place a way point it places it on the map where the head unit is, not where the transducer is. Say there is 6 feet between your transducer and your head unit, you are moving forward and you drop a way point, later you turn around and try to find it now it is 12 feet from where you actually viewed it, even though you are on the way point. That is if you are exactly 180 degrees from you original mark. . Through the hull transducers, auxiliary gps antenna mounted over the transducer, or the head unit in the front right over the transducer, will over come this. I hope that helps. My set up is very inexpensive compared to most.

I like braid with a leader for jigs and spoons. I use 50lb braid for my bottom bouncer poles. It is really personal preference I think unless you are on Norfork in the clear water.

Yep what they said....map study is required for productive walleye fishing. Don't expect to see them on the graph. Learn to fish habitat. Keep trying most of us learn something every time we go out.

I just read this again. I am still wanting a river walleye, if this story doesn't get a guy thinking about it I don't know what will. Thank you again

I understand that it is a free country, but why do half the wake boaters feel the need to drive near me when I am fishing? Nice walleye, we found the bridgeport area loaded with young fish of many species, the bluegill and crappie are just the right size for larger feeding fish. My grandson was proud when he spooned these little guys up, they were 25 feet deep. Those are the hands of an eight year old, I can't believe they hit a spoon !

Been working. Going to try T Rock saturday

Spread the word everyone is welcome.

I fished this one last year. It was great fun, with some really good people. Get what info you can from this flyer. If you have additional questions please contact. Dean Smith 417 439 4880 Ray Greek 417 483 6531 Matt Clark 417 540 0132 Joey Burton 417 825 3623

This is a different kind of summer for sure. I don't have years of experience like you. The lake seem like it did about 5 yrs ago, with fish suspended everwhere.

I want 5 of them right now. But at 20 each I think I will just tie a drop shot weight to a crank bait. Really cool though.

I guess I am still allowed to wear the OAF hat ? I have one left, I hope I don't have to turn it in. Anyway I hope no one does what I did and really gets hurt or injures someone else. Be careful internet friends God bless

I know dumbness took over, I agree that was the reason for sharing. You don't have to buy my hat, but you should get one for yourself. Thanks for the feed back.

I know that you are right ! Maybe a little warning about missing church on Sunday too. I normally would not fish on Sunday or only in the afternoon. It got me thinking about all kinds of stuff. Ha Ha !

I launched my boat well before daylight, in the rain, Sunday morning. I was going to boat from Moonshine beach to Big Cedar to meet up my uncle who was in from out of town. I have fished this section some but not very much. I think I was the only idiot out in the rain at 4:30 am so I thought hey hammer down. I know there are islands but I have them on my map. No moon visible, raining, hunkered down behind the windshield, flying by the GPS, nearing the first island, slowed down, peaked over the glass, made it no problem hammer down. same thing with the second island no problem, but nearing the 3rd one (it's really small) I thought, I should be getting close, but I didn't really slow down much as I "knew" I had time. Peaked over the windshield, my favorite OAF hat blew off (which will cause the fisherman to instantly slam on the brakes to retrieve the favorite hat) as the boat slowed I was able to see that I was only a few yards from beaching my boat ! Oh yeah what is that thing that pops up when I turn the depth finder on ? Something about not using this as your primary source of navigation. The moral to the story, make sure to buy an OAF hat, and don't trust the gps too much, they don't give you that message for nothing. I never got my hat back, but I guess that is a small price to pay for a big lesson. Don't hate me, you've done it too. :-)

That is kind of like my luck, but the guy that started this thread has caught more walleye than I ever will. I figure I just have more to learn.😀

You would for sure. I haven't been fishing much. I think I for got how. Thanks again for the report

No more full moon. Thanks for the info.

That is just precious !

Awsome ! That is why you are the pro. Thank you for posting here so I can learn.

Day time fishing on full moon nights has never been hot for me, unless you start at 4 am or right before the moon comes up. Or just fish at night. Thanks for the info.
