Watch Josh Jones or Ben Milliken on Youtube. They have it dialed in and the number of big fish they catch out in the abyss is crazy. The TX DNR tracking study is pretty interesting too. How many BIG tagged fish are located later on no-nothing flats is an eye opener too.
I did catch em here and there prior to the virus but nothing like trips LOZ. I would visit friends in Gravois and get out early and beat the banks. Jigs, spinnerbaits, tx rig worms and catch fish. I sure haven’t duplicated that on T rock.
I’ve been coming to T rock for over 50 years and have caught very few bass here. Primarily due to no electronics I guess. I used to try but it’s pretty tough in the summer when the lake stratifies. It’s really not a lake you can run down good looking banks and catch fish. At least in the dam area. I always feel like it’s empty water. So FFS is pretty tempting. But I guess I’ll keep trout fishing at Taney.
I went Friday. 8 smallies all under 13"s. Weather was great! Might go Wednesday unless I head to Taney later this week. Either way..... I'm going fishing!!
What?!?! He wasn’t very old. I remember him fishing with his kid on his shoulders and it didn’t seem that long ago. What happened? If you don’t mind. RIP.
I wanted to report back on a knot I started using. I call it half an aleberto. It’s really thin and so far no difference between an Alberto. 6 pound braid to 6 pound invisix. Actually breaking the braid before the knot. I used it this week and will continue. I watched a Shaw Grigsby video and he uses a 30’ long leader to take the pressure off the knot Works for me
