  1. Another big striper. "I've landed 3 25lb stripers since I moved here 9 years ago and have been waiting for my first one over 30 pounds. Sat. night ( april 3rd) my wait ended. I landed a 40 pound striper that measured almost 46 inches. It was caught by casting a dark suspending rogue (lazer craw color) to a main lake point about one hour after dark. I was using 10 lb. stealth line. This will be the first fish I've ever had mounted."
  2. Fishing Department seminar area -- where is that in the store? It's not Uncle Bucks Auditorium, right? I wish I could go... but I'm heading to Long Creek to look for crappies this evening. If anyone goes, give us a report. Thanks
  3. Put in a good word for us... would love to see them alittle on the forum. I always show people alexa.com to show the strength of the site... we are ranked higher than silverdollarcity.com!
  4. The DOTS will be there.
  5. Wish these guys would post their reports and pics on the forum. I get emails and pics almost everyday. It's great service if you fish Norfork alot but you have to become a member of their striper club to get the updates. Here's the pics from this morning. Says they caught them on topwater.
  6. Really strange bite after seeing shad. Not sure what those trout are thinking. Water temp is 39- may have something to do with it. But they will take off soon I'd think. We're stocking up on white jigs.
  7. Where? Would you be willing to record the seminars and provide them for posting on OzarkAnglers?
  8. You need to get a camera and take some pics for us! Want to see those browns!!
  9. Not that anyone should EVER do this but... it would be funny. Buy a paint ball gun and take different color ball outs with you on the lake/creek. If a guy does that- anchor or cut you off, hit his boat with a ball. Blue means he was 15 feet from you, yellow 10 feet and save the red ones for 5 feet. Then when you see a boat headed towards you with a red spot on the side of his boat, you can warn him ahead of time... don't come near me, I'm armed!
  10. Gates were opened 12 inches. In 08, they were opened 2.5 feet, the most they've ever been open.
  11. I should not have said "lower lake". I've seen paddle fish, gar, blue gill, bass and even crappie as far up as our place. Whatever triggers the move, they move. The flood gates would have to be open, what, 12 inches, 15 inches to allow a fish this size to go through. I'll have to check to see how far they were open.
  12. I think I read through all the comments. Bottom line- anglers come from all roads of life with different personalities and beliefs. While some get all excited about catching, some (like me) are pretty unemotional. Some of are more careful than others about handling fish but for the most part, at least for anglers here on the forum, we're splitting hairs with the different views and habits. And that's ok too.
  13. They have to outrun the crooks, don't they? That's funny though.
  14. Cool stories... Looking over old Buffalo topics and thought I'd bump this one up.
  15. I would agree but for the fact that stripers survive the fall over Beaver Dam when their gates are open. The only argument is that there are big smallies and gar and paddle fish in Taney before gates are open and I know alot of these warmwater fish do move up during heavy generation and especially when they open the gates, more so if the water is warmer coming over the top. In this last event, they didn't as much cause the water wasn't as warm.
  16. There are alot of them in Taney. He moved up. They do come over the top when the gates are open but the ones we see and in pieces.
  17. suicide pact... waiting on a heron. Sorry- I don't know. How was fishing in Beaver today? Bet it was crowded, at least upstream. Beautiful day- not as much wind.
  18. Today's fishing was tougher. We didn't get to the dam till 8 am and only caught a handful on a couple of drifts. Took the kiddos out this afternoon and still slow for us. They did catch some nice rainbows- started below Cooper and drifted just past Monkey Island with white/orange Gulp eggs. Babler did real well though- fished most of the day and they caught alot more rainbows.
  19. A member here on the forum can't log in on the forum, even after Dan and I both could using his user name and pw. He's even re registered and still can't get in. Any ideas? IE and Firefox
  20. Thanks Tito. Well put. Fish do more damage making a net to spawn than being drug on rocks... and the video showed the trout barely out of the water. The comment complaining about it was close to saying "don't even fish!" Hooks, even barbless, cause more trouble for fish than what this trout experienced. Comments like these are why alot of people don't post on forums. They don't want to be taken to task by something they may doing wrong. Thank you for posting the link to your video and for taking the video.
  21. Sorry- late this week. And had a terrible time getting this online. I've been using Switch to convert the WMA to MP3 and it did not want to work. Said the WMA file was corrupt or something. Looked for another converter program.... on and on. Created this mp4 file and I hope it works for everyone. I would have put it on youtube but it's too long. http://ozarkanglers.com/podcast/4-2.mp4
  22. http://lilleystacklestore.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16939&cat=0&page=1 - ONE PAIR http://lilleystacklestore.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16940&cat=0&page=1 - TWO PAIR It should come up with the right price, no tax, no shipping.
  23. I thought about that. I'll have to see if I can set it up there. Problem is possibly setting the shipping rate correctly. I don't want to charge too much. I'll work on it later today (hopefully). I'm grilling/smoking for the whole extended family tonight. Gotta go to the store!
  24. Depends on how much rain...
  25. That's the email that didn't work. I'll call the number. I'm afraid that if the email on his site isn't working, something might have happened to him.
