Somebody certainly posted "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here..this is the war room!" already? If not, that is definitely one of mine.

Cool, I'll go grab some at the hardware store. Appreciate the tips! And yea, little far of a drive. I'm tempted to go fishing though..work is dead.

Since I'm quarantined by our amazing government I may just go out to spite them and get the replacement ring. I was hoping to just do it here. Wonder if super glue would work temporarily?

I have a guide on one of my baitcasters that has a crack or something in it. The abrasion is not good. I don't want to replace the whole guide. I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how to repair it? It's just one spot, and I've identified where with a Q-tip. Would a file work? Or electrical tape? Thanks in advance.

For the first time in a while, last Saturday was a decent jerkbait bite. Caught a few on each drift across from River Point. Nothing big.

No kidding. Maybe I'll be able to catch a nice couple of bass at LOZ for the first time in a couple years!

Well, got the email yesterday. Officially banished from going to the office until after March 30th. This is getting crazy.

It'll be tough but not terrible. Last time they had five flood gates open I did well dragging a big san juan and big scuds in the seams. Really close to the bank on some areas. You have to be on the bottom. The issue is TR sends over a ton of moss/algae that covers the bottom and water column so you will have to check your flies/lures/bait a lot. I don't think TR got cold enough this year to have a shad kill. I think as we get toward April and gates are still open we will see shad, since they get up on the dam rocks to spawn. But that's just my opinion. I fished it Thur/Fri of last week and it was tough. As for the creeks, my guide buddy said Roark blew out in an hour when they were in there fishing yesterday. Had one line of clear water near the bank where they could still catch em. Kind of scary..the spring rains aren't even here yet and the White River chain is still hurting from last year's high water events..

Sure was--a report and details as in depth, type of banks, any nuances to pay attention to, etc. Not the exact location as it seemed you were looking for. If I misinterpreted that, my bad. I write plenty of very detailed fishing reports on here and give any advice I can.

Want me to catch em for you, too? 8-10 fow, body with chartreuse in it with a 1/16-ounce head.

Need to go to LOZ. Had two big limits in an hour Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. Biggest were all 1.0-1.3-lbs. Had a couple 14-inchers we let go.

Yep! I used to hang out with Villa girls in high school. Talk about spoiled, uppity SOBs. I do not talk to many anymore. They think they are on another level in society and probably think COVID is for the poor

Classic Villa parent. That's all I'll say.

I'll make sure to tell Bill he's full of it. Senile old man. Just kidding..he's good. Probably just put it under the wrong park.

Stop into Everhart's in Clinton. They should be able to point you in a good direction on a shop and any fixes! Welcome! I am in Clinton a lot. If you ever want to fish, let me know. I can show you around the area and on Truman!

A lot of people sleep on the NE for fishing. My Aunt lives on Cape Cod and you would not believe the incredible freshwater fishing on the Cape. Tons of lakes. Almost all species of trout, salmon, smallies, largemouth, pickerel. I've fished various lakes since i was a kid and every time it has been lights out. Of course, the saltwater fishing is great, too.

My cousin fishes Sparrowfoot area a lot in July and August and said it is lights out dunking around the deeper timber. Truman overall is just insane with crappie from those I talk to so I'd assume it's still great. Weaubleau creek area is producing some giants right now.

haha ended up going to Truman. Was a great decision. Thanks man!

Incredible. And yep, lakers last a long time. I don't know how, but I read once a Lake trout caught was estimated to be 75 years old!

My buddy got a new boat and wanted to "de-virgin" it as he put it so eloquently. We were going to go to Pomme de Terre but folks on here wisely steered us away due to the high, muddy water. So, we decided to try Truman. And I am glad we did. The bite was on fire from 10am-1:30 pm in the mouths of creeks in 12-18 FOW. We were throwing 2" Slab Slay'rs in red/chartreuse on 1/16-ounce jig heads from Pro Built. I really like those jig heads. We ended up with 20 or so crappie. Kept 11 good ones. Not that any were short, but we were catching big ones. We put in at Bucksaw and went west, under the 801 Rd bridge. Main way we caught them was to tie up to a tree in 15-20 fow and throw out as far as we could. Let it sink a bit, then SLOWLY wind it back to the boat. And I do mean slow. Spider riggers (which I hate fishing that way) were catching a lot so I figured this imitated it best. And it worked. We caught 6 dunking trees in 10-13 fow. The fish are putting the bag on! I caught my two best crappie ever in Missouri. One was 1.6-lbs and the other 1.4-lbs. One was a male, too! Going to be a banner year on Truman again for crappie I do believe.

Thanks for the info everyone. Saved me some gas money!

Yea I think we may just say screw it and I'll fish the strip pits and coyote hunt. Sounds like we are a couple weeks away from good fishing. Or at least when water clears up.

Dang and we were going to put in at Nemo lol. Might just fish the strip pits

Cool. Any idea on FOW?

Well dang. Try and secondary points?
