Everything caught was on purple. 1/16 or 3/32. Never tried anything else didn’t want to jinx it.

Took the boy in the boat first time night fishing at Taney. Started with motor trouble and that wasted an hour, thank you for checking on us Phil! After fixed ran up to fall creek, just casually drifting down and hammered them on jigs. 21.5 inch rainbow, 21 inch brown, 20 inch brown for the boy his first 20. 6 browns in total, 4 rainbows over 18. Not a doubt in my mind we boated over 10O fish. My best night ever on Taney for numbers, it was amazing. Our pictures our awful, I apologize, just wanted to get them back in water asap.

I'm gonna be spending some time in Crane the next few months taking care of my mom. Thought about doing some fishing, anyone fished Crane this year been 20yrs since I have.

Its been over 20yrs since I fished crane, but i remember that once it started getting hot it seemd like snakes where everywhere on the upper end where I would go. How do you guys avoid the snakes once the temps warm up? I need to make it back down there.

Thats a good idea weighing them in the net, i never weigh them cause I dont want too overhandle them. Try to get them back in the water asap. Im horrible about taking pics as well just want to get them released.

Good job! I went out this evening got to the outlets shortly after 8pm. Been a long time since I have been down there when its light enough to see. So I walked around for a bit just looking at stuff. Started fishing 845-9ish. Caught around 15 or so, half on xrap half on jig. Only fished till 11ish cause whife works tomorrow so I'm responsible for kids and cleaning ugh. Was great just to get out.

Anyone tried wading up by the outlets with the water slowing down? I bought a new jerkbait rod I'm dying to use.

Good Luck, I'm dying to get out of the house and wet a line just no time.

Can anyone come to the RAW weigh in and if so where is it located? Have been way to busy to fish this winter but going to he in Branson for my daughter's dance competition. May be able to sneak away for a little bit.

This sounds interesting how do you access these places. I'm not familiar with anywhere besides the outlets to wade and fish.

Looks like a good night, congrats.

You guys catch a bunch in the boat?

Actually the boy just caught about a ten inches as I was loading the truck up lol

Good luck! I think my boy and I ran into you up by the outlet 1 parking lot. We didn't have a single bite down by Cooper boat launch. I had 50ish in my kayak last Friday under the full moon. No big rainbows but had a 21 inch brown last friday.

@MNtransplant it sounds like you had a great day regardless of how the fishing was. Hopefully you will get a chance to get out and do it again.
