The Grass Pickerel is cool - caught them - but not on fly gear.

Just buy these instead of a new gun. Very light recoil: https://www.ballisticproducts.com/Fiocchi-20ga-20Lite-2-3_4-3_4-oz-box_25/productinfo/36520LITE/

The new kayakers don't have respect for cold fast water. Here is the result, unfortunately.

I went out about 2 weeks ago when it was nice for a couple of days in a row - just one 2 pound Largemouth on a suspending jerkbait.
-
I used to post more but I had a few years of lots of work and personal stuff that took most of my time - but I do live here in Ozark and fish the Finley year-round. Winter can be good but you need a Yak or canoe, and have to really careful about that cold water.

I have 200 CCI Large Pistol Primers, but I really need some Small Rifle Primers. Could also throw in some 209 Shotgun primers and a few CCI Large Rifle Benchrest primers, too. If you have some Small rifle primers to trade just post back - Ozark area BTW. -
Yeah - just throw a skirt and trailer on those twin-spins and you'll be catching fish for sure.

Mirage is the stuff- I hate that it's Orvis only - but it's tuff stuff X3.
-
It's true and sad - we respect the owners, the land, and the river itself. Others DO NOT and will be the bad apple that spoils the bunch.

I haven't been there this year due to work - I'll have to check it out this weekend.

TUNGSTEN
RSBreth replied to Smalliebigs's topic in Equipment - Rods/Reels/Line/and all the other toys
I've powder coated pewter ( was trying to make A lighter jig the same size as the lead one my mold would drop) so I don't know why you couldn't. These guys will know for sure :http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/30992-painting-tungsten-jigs/ -
Have to work (of course) so I hope you all have a great time. Even when I can't fish I can browse OA and feel like I'm keeping my finger on the pulse of what's happening. Thanks Phil for this space - it means a lot to so many of us. Happy B-Day.

Float this Weekend, Delaware to Shelvin, or Shelvin to Hootentown?
RSBreth replied to Seth Clarkson's topic in James River
Floating down means dealing with the crowd or pulling out and waiting till the idiots get out if there for a good half hour. -

RSBreth replied to Seth Clarkson's topic in James River
I forget that I have a "cheat" in that I put in and paddle UPSTREAM in my solo canoe, missing the canoe rental crowd by 6 hours. That's how you catch the bigger smallies on the James. -

RSBreth replied to Seth Clarkson's topic in James River
Typically a little higher. There are bigger Smallies there - but you have to really fish it right to get any - there's plenty of fishing pressure. -

RSBreth replied to Seth Clarkson's topic in James River
Downstream from Hootentown is better than both - but you have to deal with the canoe rental crowd. There's a reason for the special regulations for that 22-mile stretch of the James.https://fishing.mdc.mo.gov/reports/james-river -
If I had to use mono on spinning gear I would be borderline suicidal. Superline is the way to go.

#1: I think he really wants a fast boat, but can't afford it. #2: 350 hp? 100 mph? - Lets exaggerate just a bit, huh? And the Skeeter Boat thing was in . . . Texas. Not Missouri. Texas. #3: Someone needs an English Comp class or two - run on sentences, overly long scenic setup for the nonsensical B.S. to follow, etc. etc.

Just got home and in the July issue of In-Fisherman they list Taneycomo as a top late Summer/Early Fall destination, with Lilley's Landing being the contact. Pretty cool.

I do well in that stretch with compact spinnerbaits, topwaters, smaller cranks. Walk the dog topwaters are always worth a shot. My biggest Smallies have come on 1/8 ounce finesse jigs in orange/green or PB &J down there.

Are you taking in account the Restrictions on Black Bass in Rivers that takes effect March 1st, or just winging it?https://huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing/species/black-bass/black-bass-regulations
-
I'll just add, most of the time when you think you are working a suspending jerkbait too slow this time of year - you're still working it too fast.
-
And for those of us that don't have that channel - episode can be seen here: http://waypointtv.com/view/episode/147/1761/6/taneycomo-trout

Left or right Achilles? I blew out my right one last year - can't drive, can't walk, horrible Summer. Anyway - for mostly jig or fly and float that 9 or 9.5 5 weight is about right. If it's a faster 6 weight you can throw a little bigger stuff, but are at the point of smaller trout not being as much fun. A medium fast or fast 5 isn't that hard to find.
