Sure I'll drive up and see...

I made a drift and caught 2- one close to the cable and another further down on white jig. The first was packed with shad. I did not see any shad but they had come thru. Not sure from over or under though. No idea on the bass or walleye question.

Just got the report from some guys who just came in. Lots and lots of shad coming over the top of the dam. Catching fish on white jigs. Trout have so many shad hanging out of their mouths it's a wonder they are still biting. I'm heading up to see for myself

My my my...

Cool your jets guys... you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. As for the pic... it is one of Al's prints. I was showing off his artistic skills too.

The Misunderstood God by Darin Hufford. Me and a couple of guys are doing a study on it. He points out a bunch of modern day beliefs in the church that are inconsistent with what the Word says, things we, for the most part, already have seen and agree with. But he's alittle off on some things too. But so are we, I'm sure. It's a good book for "religious" people with an open mind who won't run the other way when their beliefs are challenged.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. The stripes on your fish aren't broken like a hybrid should be. Funny, we've been catching some whites on Bull Shoals that have broken stripes. Best I've done of hybrids is using crawdad tails on Grand Lake, Elk River Arm.

Here's a couple of pics I got from the club this morning.

Boated to the dam after they'd open 3 gates. Thought may be, just may be some shad had washed into the lake. Pulled up to the south corner at the cable and casted a few times. Caught a rainbow and then this smallie. See the blue gill tail hanging out of his mouth? Couldn't get a good pic cause I was about to drift into the bank. Two drifts to the ramp. First drift, on the north side, netted 3 rainbows, all before Big Hole. Last one was this really nice 19 inch rainbow male. I thought may be, just may be the white jig bite was on. Second drift - nothing. Missed a couple of bites. Better than last evening but nothing like it would be if shad were coming through. Word is they will run gates will Table Rock is back down to 915 and with rain comin' that may be a week or so.

Wow- just got in from being gone all am and someone told me there were 3 gates open. I said, "NO WAY!" Yes way. I called the hatchery and confirmed. I fished up there last evening and caught 3 rainbows in 2 drifts- one on white and two on sculpin. Pretty slow. These gates might just what we need to wash shad in the lake. Bill says they're dying like crazy on TR... some should come over the top I'd think. Will get out later and see what I see. Will report back with a pic... at least.

I'm already getting PMs and emails for orders. I'm not taking orders yet. When I get them in I'll start a new thread and tell you what I'll need for orders. Probably used Paypal or something. Checks in the mail. It'll probably be a week 10 days.

Thanks for sharing those wonderful images. What's the name of the canoe outfitter down there?

Sorry- I was out all day yesterday and was too tired to read last night. I like Sam's idea with the dot(s). If it's ok, I'll order 2000 to start and see how it goes. 2-inch, bright orange with Ozark Anglers type in white, centered. Cost will be $3 for 2 stickers with postage, $5 for 2 sets. Sound ok? I'll order this morning if there's no major objections.

For you guys who know about joomla- I installed joomla and a theme with sample content on my computer using it as a server using mamp as the server manager. Got thru the installation ok. Went to view the site and/or admin area and got this error - JError Unable to load Database Driver: Now this is the second time I installed this program. The first time I negated to install the sample data and wanted to add it so I deleted the files from my /site file and pasted another copy of the install files and reinstalled it. That probably messed up the data files. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

Could start with something simple and inexpensive and move to something later.

I held my own Wednesday. But today he kicked butt. But we BOTH got our limits, thank you. And threw back some sows for seed (pic).

Vince and I fished Wednesday evening and again today - put in at K Dock and ran up to Snapp Wednesday and didn't find anything there but a nice crappie. Ran on up to Cedar and found them in 20-25 feet of water on the bottom. White or gray 1/8th oz if the wind wasn't bad and a white 1/4rd oz deer hair jig if it was. Today same thing. Water temp is 45. Have to be at these depths or not getting bit. Light bite today. Several walleye- couple of cigars and a couple about 13 inches. We limited both days. Today was tougher. Fished from 10 am till 2 pm and had it to ourselves. One rig at K ramp. Where are you guys? Little cold and rain scare you off??? I did get cold!

There are lots of rainbows in Roark. Some whites have been caught but they are unpredictable. Water temp is 41 in the lake and 49 in the creek. I havent' caught a white yet but I've only been down there twice. Some guests did catch some nice ones Wednesday... or Tuesday. Not sure which day.

MDC says they do NOT reproduce in the lake.

Sanders Bluff... that's a new one for me. Where is that?

April 8 - Al Agnew, Missouri Smallmouth Bass An avid angler and self-professed "river rat", Agnew is widely acknowledged as an authority on rivers, canoeing, fishing, and conservation in his native Ozarks, and is a sought after public speaker across the Midwest on these subjects as well as art. April 20 - TIm Homesley, Roaring River, Crane and Capps Creek Tim owns and operates a very nice fly shop near the entrance of Roaring River State Park. He fishes the park as well as Capps Creek and Crane Creek, his knowledge is second to none on all three of these trout waters.

Probably not. He referred to images most of the time so it wouldn't be helpful.
