Well since I am in Missouri this year for the winter, I am thinking about running up to Twain next week for a couple days. Any tips? As there have not been any post about fishing Mark Twain in a while. Boy I am sure going to miss Central Texas this year.

Thinking about making a trip over there What is the HP rating in this lake? How has the fishing been as of lately? How is the Bass and Crappie bite? We release all bass but like to keep a few crappie if we fish for them. Thanks

Series 2, 8' power poles

Travis County Texas, Lake Travis.

I am buy a boat. I have no use for the power poles and going to have the black power poles, brackets, pumps, switches, etc pulled and sell them, Anyone think they might be interested in them. Thinking $2,200 for all or best offer. SOLD SOLD SOLD Thanks

Yep still looking for next year.

I will probably be looking for a partner to fish next year. Tournaments fished will be Shriners - Truman- 1st weekend in May. Then the Joe Bass open. Pretty much open to fish any of Joe Bass except for possibly Stockton. And a small club tournament once in a while.I will be running a 2013 skeeter next year, If you have a boat we can switch off once in a while.I will be staying just north of Hillsboro MO.I am retired, so getting away for me is not a problem, Usually leaving on Thursdays for tournaments on Saturday.Partner is just that we split fuel, room, entry, etc.Let me knowThanks

Question for Fishinwrench or anybody else who may know. Looking at buying a 06 - 250 Pro XS, so I do not have the serial number. Motor has 181 hoursHad compression checked and all cylinders were 120 to 125, except one it was 100. Leak down on number 1 cylinder showed a slow leak.So questions are What is wrong with this and how do we fix it?Would you buy it?Thanks for your help.

No offence here.

Had A DECENT DAY. Caught a ;lot of short fish. Topwater and a plastics. maybe 4 keepers out of 20 plus fish. Sure hope tomorrow is better. Heading for the little Tebo and praying to keep my lower unit.

Going out in 5 minutes. Will let you know how today goes. Going up in the Osage. Later

Wish we would have taken pictures this week end. We ran way up the little sac 2 days. Lake seemed down to me. We caught some real nice bass both days. In 3 to 8 ft of water, all on small worms. And even caught several on crank bait, with 4 keeper walleye to boot. Jitterbug worked for us in the back of the cut up there also, for about an 1 1/2 to 2 hours every morning.

We are going to Stockton for 2 days then to Truman for 2 days next week staying at Starrett Creek. Any help on Truman or Stockton would be great. How are the bass biting as of lately? Thinking about wetting a line for some R&R next week? Are they on main lake points or moving in the middle of coves? Any idea what depth they are biting at? Good area to start in. Thanks

Going to Stockton for for R & R then going to Truman for 2 days also.

If you had a choice which one would you choose? I was told that the clarity was not as good on the Garmins, is this true? What does 1 do that the other does not? Why do you think one is better than the other? 93sv and a102sv Garmin w/panoptics and a Ultrex 24v or 2 Helix 10's, 1side imaging, 1 down imaging, Mega360 and a Ultrex 24v Or would you prefer the Ghost over the Ultrex? Thanks

We fish Kinkaid about 5 weeks ago and had a decent day. It was the first time in 25 plus years also. I always do well in Missouri and Texas water. Just could not get a bite going at all at The Crab.

Went over from Missouri side at St Mary's exit. Should have know when we got across the bridge into Illinois and highway 3 said closed. But no detour sign where we turn. Went on 3 just to edge of town and the Railroad had the road closed. Track work I guess. Went back into town and there was a detour sign when you come back from the tracks. Took the long very long route to Crab Orchard Lake. Paid the fee at campground and put in at Spillway ramp. Fishing @6:30am,. Fished til 2pm Thunderstorms approaching Loaded and head back Via 149 to 3 south to Cape and then back up 55 highway. I normally never do bad when I go fishing, 99% time can get some kind of pattern going. 1 short short fish on topwater, 1 short fish on shakyhead, and 1 keeper on a 9" texas rig worm. Partner zero'd. This lake has really changed in 25 plus years and I do not think I will go back.

Is there really nobody fishing Joe Bass.

Who here fishes Joe Bass. How do you like it? I emailed them couple days ago with some questions, and have not received a reply back as of yet. I am considering fishing them next year. How many boats do they average? From what I saw was 30 to 50? Do they allow guides to fish it. I am no longer guiding in Texas. but wondering? Can you fish as many tournaments as you want or can in the open trail, including winter trail? Was I reading that they pay 2 big bass checks? Can I fish t least 2 tournaments by myself? Can I have non-member fish 1 or 2 with me if my regular partner cannot make it? Is the lake off limits days or the week before a tournament? Thanks,

Big Problem with those Wake Boats. They not only destroy boat docks, but also destroy shore lines with a lot more bank erosion than any other boat out there. Personally they should have to stay out in the middle of a lake. Or better yet have to run them at Lake of the Ozarks only.

Old News, and somebody had to of released it. Because they cannot live in Missouri due to it gets way to cold up there.

You want to catch alligator's come to Texas and fish Choke Canyon Lake. They love crankbaits. Have caught several 2 and 3 ft. and have seen them everybit of 14 ft down there. You should here the noise they make also.

Just take them out in the woods and duct tape them to a tree. and let the critters sort it out on them. Or throw them into a Hog pen. Problem solved.
