Best colors I have used by lure company below: Megabass 110+1: elegy bone, ghost pro blue, ghost shad McStick: table rock shad,,ghost table rock shad, normal flake, ghost norman flake 6th Sense Provoke: ozark juice, threadfin flash, spanish bone Doty SS: any color--varies on the day which they prefer I don't think you need just dark colors at all (sure, certain days dark is better). Those look like food, that's all that matters.

Ok you are right about that. I got absolutely destroyed by the same thing you mention. Maybe oak mites? Whatever they are I am miserable today.

I have noticed the jerkbait bite this year is very hit or miss. Wonder if they're getting used to the constant barrage? I noticed I got a lot more bites just letting the lure float with the current. Make two or three jerks and just let it ride (instead of the ferocious jerking usually done).

Always fun to just be outdoors! I've noticed a lot of waterfowl down early this year. Sounds like they are in Topeka, too. Saw a ton of teal. Can't wait for the opener Saturday.

Got four this morning in an hour. Going back out to try and finish the limit. Flew really well 8-9am but dead after that. It's hot..

I ended up with 8 yesterday. Flew really well. They are loving the corn fields. Every one I cleaned had corn it their crops. I assume it's from the lack of sunflower and other fields planted due to the flooding. Should of had a limit but..well, I missed a lot.

Starting a thread to see how everyone does for dove. Can't wait to get out in the morning. I will be hunting near Clinton. Where are you hunting? After a dreadful summer of no hunting, dove is always great to get back into it. Comment on what you do tomorrow!

Only the trout know! I think in the lower lake if you fished for them like they do on the Great Lakes you'd be surprised at what you pull up. Troll with downriggers in all areas of the water column. It'd take a ton of time to perfect it, but I bet you'd land a huge brown eventually. They have to be down there.

Interesting points. I have noticed, after throwing jerkbaits and dragging cranks a lot, you do catch bigger fish. A ton of 18-22-inch fish. But, in the last three years I have only had one brown on a jerkbait that was bigger than 10-pounds. Maybe they move too quickly for them to want to expend the energy to chase it? No idea. Or, could be the jig just imitates what they feed on and see most often. And it moves slow and is worked throughout the water column. Threw a lot of jerkbaits a few weeks ago and caught plenty of nice fish. Biggest brown came on a white jig, however. A jig will always have a place on my line. All it takes is one in the mood, though, so I'll keep jerkin'!

I was just thinking "what have I done??" haha! Sorry @Phil Lilley. But I enjoy it. I love the Holy Grail and had to comment on @ness great pic. I did get some nice new Simms thanks to the very, very early part of this thread lol.

Great idea, but like Phil said most probably won't spend the money. They are great, though. They can dang near swallow it and it ends up right on the side of the lip. So much easier. With other hooks, I end up just cutting the line and losing a hook almost every fish.

"What do we burn outside of witches?" "MORE WITCHES!!!"

Three! I also like when he goes "might want to skip some, brother.."

One of my favorite movies! My favorites are "She turned me into a newt!" "....I got better." And "how do you know so much about swallows? Well you have to know these things when you're a king, ya'know."

I like to live dangerously. But I am not throwing big, articulated streamers. Mainly small pine squirrels or buggers. So, streamer is loose here.

Ended up getting the Simms Tributaries (the Soul River version that helped benefit veterans near the Soul River in Oregon is what I was told) and Korker boots. I have yet to test them out. Need to get out somewhere this weekend. Also, I just realized your photo is of the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail @ness. Amazing lol! "There are those who call me....Tim."

For streamers on a fly rod, yep. Or bigger if it's dirty. 6-8 lb for jerkbaits hah.

Depends on where, and how much generation. I have used sink tips and just a regular, ol' 6x leader when throwing streamers. They like to come up from the bottom and smash it. Granted, make sure they flash haha.

Depends on the water. In deeper water or heavy generation I use a 110+1 that goes 6 feet or so down. It's not like jerking for walleye or bass in January. No need to soak em. Work them fast and furious, put a slight pause in there--change it up. I try different retrieves until I get bit. This trip they liked three or four fast jerks and a 1-2 sec pause.

Couple came over after the floods. Do not think it's anything to worry about like bluebasser said. Even if there were a bunch, Bull Shoals seems to be doing fine...

I need new duck hunting waders too. Drake is trash from what I hear. Not surprised. I am hearing the Simms Tributaries are a solid deal.

Sounds like Simms is the right choice..

Buster Loving. Next.

Just turned 29 yesterday! I was kind of thinking that. They seem to be the best and last the longest. Thanks for the input, Marty!

I did some research on here and it sounds like there was a lot of discussion over the last couple of years on what waders are the best value. I want some input now. I am looking for something up to $160 or so. Nothing too expensive. I don't need to be Mr. Orvis out there. Just not get wet. My duck hunting waders are too dang warm for fishing..and clumsy. So, what do you recommend for a good wader/boot for $200-250? Thanks! Milo
