Cody @gotmuddy looks much happier than he looked on the pictures his wife posted on fb at the Branson indoor water park......Looks like a good time.

Lilley's has the Flybrary of Congress - Extra Deep Waterproof Boat Box back in stock, I ordered mine last night. https://www.lilleysriverside.com/shop/c/p/Flybrary-of-Congress---Extra-Deep-Waterproof-Boat-Box-x66737894.htm

This guy may have solved the staring down issue??? https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/augmented-realty-glasses-livescoping/?fbclid=IwAR0H3GSsblxsLD8vC7_42x2Yw4Fos_UwSIkZEpaNYhCWeiMeYXg4zpA9-YU

I have one of each, one on the river boat is hand due to Ulterra does not like transducer, on bass boat Ultrex works fine. As @MrGiggles says the hand control might be fine if you just want to look, but having the remote in one hand, the pole in the other leaves no hand for a rod, it gets way too busy for me. As @Quillback mentions if you can sit down (difficult for me) it allows you zero in on spot lock the Ultrex always, always moves away when I am targeting a fish. All aboard marine makes one that allows you to do both....have not seen one in action but like the idea.

Mounting bracket?

I would suggest replacing with perforated aluminum, cooler lighter, no rot, these guys do a lot of custom work, but 70 miles away??? https://holtsalesinc.com/

Priceless, way to go, love the smiles, and what Pete said.

If I understand correctly just the transducer?? Mounting hardware etc??? I have a NIB black box would pair up nice .

Will be a last minute call for me, Dr. appointment 3./1./24 0845 decision to follow. But Doubtful.

The intersection at TT & F is harder to maneuver than saying your ABC's backwards.......think a lot of folks have been taking advantage of that exception...

Carol is a good gal!

The video worked for me but unable to see or open the pictures. Looks like a good trip, I love Buffalo City this time of year.

Those suckers swim right through a school of crappie I am scoping......not my favorite bird.....

Thanks for the report. Nice mess. Seems like lots of shorts this winter, have not been in a while, weather, wind and doctors keeping me at bay. Hope to get back at it soon. Are those Roundhouse Overalls?

I fish out of the canoe quite a bit and sometimes get caught in the rain. I forget to get the jigs out to dry so am transitioning to waterproof boxes https://www.lilleysriverside.com/shop/c/p/Big-Daddy-Waterproof-Box---Double-Sided-x66737895.htm

I could certainly use it but not sure when I could get up there to get out of your way.

DRIFTWOOD OUTDOORS Lake Taneycomo yields fabulous February trout fishing Brandon Butler Special to the Tribune Tailwater trout fisheries provide open water action during February. It’s arguable no tailwater in the Midwest is more productive this time of year than Lake Taneycomo, home of the Missouri state record for brown trout. The behemoth 40-pound, 6-ounce fish fell short of the world record by less than two pounds. Along with big browns, Taneycomo is home to more rainbow trout than most could imagine. Located in Branson, Lake Taneycomo receives a lot of interest from tourists. People travel to the heart of the Ozarks in search of entertainment. The popular destination is famous for its exciting attractions and music shows but, right now, trout fishing is one of the city’s biggest draws. With plenty of waterfront resorts, like Lilleys’ Landing Resort and Marina, guides like Duane Doty and Blake Harris, and shops like Anglers Outfitters and Bass Pro Shops, Taneycomo has everything one could need for an epic trout trip. Lake Taneycomo is unique. The 22--mile-long lake is really a section of the White River sandwiched between Table Rock Dam and Powersite Dam. It flows and fishes like a river. There is power generation to contend with, which means anglers need to pay attention to rising and falling water. The Army Corps of Engineers releases flow data each day. Anglers should check this website before planning to wade fish. There are impressive numbers of both brown trout and rainbow trout in Taneycomo. The daily limit per angler is four trout. Of your four, only one may be a brown and it must have a minimum leng th of 20 inches. In the “trophy zone,” which runs from below Table Rock Dam to the mouth of Fall Creek, there is a slot limit on rainbows. You must release any fish between 12 and 20 inches. Also in the trophy zone, you can only use flies and artificial lures. To fish anywhere between Table Rock Dam and the Highway 65 bridge, you must have a trout permit, as well as a fishing license. Regulations like these can be tricky to newcomers. A guide will keep you straight on the rules. Duane Doty guides out of Lilleys’ Landing Resort and Marina. There are a lot of great Taneycomo guides. Doty stands out, even in a very impressive crowd. For one, he’s been there awhile. He and local fishing legend Phil Lilley have likely sent more stocker trout to frying pans than any other living duo. Doty also produces his own jerkbaits. These highly effective baits are called the Duane Doty Signature Series. He has perfected using them. Nathan “Shags” McLeod, co-host of the Driftwood Outdoors Podcast and avid Taneycomo trout angler, said this of Doty: “Duane Doty has led a trout fishing revolution on Taneycomo with his jerkbaits. He founded the Dark Army (a dedicated group of nighttime trout fishermen who throw jerkbaits) and has shared his knowledge with so many other guides. He’s Taneycomo Yoda instructing young Jedis, like Captain Blake Harris who put me on a 31-inch, 15-lb brown trout of a lifetime after midnight throwing jerkbaits.” There are numerous different tactics used to catch trout on Taneycomo. If you’re after numbers, and you’re trying to put rainbows in the box, it’s hard to beat jigs. Weight depends on how much water is running and how deep you’re fishing. White and brown are popular colors. White, especially so this time of year. As water is released through the dam, shad pour into Lake Taneycomo. The trout gorge themselves on shad. White looks like a shad. So, whether you’re throwing jigs, jerkbaits, or spinners, white in February when they’re running water is a solid bet. If you want to focus on catching one of the monster browns that make Taneycomo famous, then throwing jerkbaits is the way to go. Aside from the Duane Doty custom lures, one of the local favorites is the Rebel Tracdown Minnow. These are slow-sinking and easy to control in moving water. Overcast days with enough wind to put a slight chop on the water should be your most productive for throwing jerkbaits. Taneycomo attracts a lot of a different angler types. You have beginners who are so excited to simply catch a fish. There are a lot of first fish trips on Taney. There are also a lot of experienced anglers who enjoy coming to Taneycomo and taking home a cooler full of trout filets for the dinner table. Then there are the expert trout hunters who are only after the giants. Those who focus on targeting truly worldclass brown trout. The local guide network caters to all types of Taneycomo angling and can help you accomplish your goal, whatever it may be. “There are a lot of great guides on Taneycomo who know the most productive areas to fish, and how to fish them,” Doty said. “Since most of the trout fishing is done on the upper end of the lake, we usually don’t have to go far before we start fishing, so any experienced guide has come to know the lake very well. Good guides cater to any sort of trout fishing you’re interested in. When you’re talking to a guide about booking a trip, just be sure to communicate what you’d like to accomplish on your trip.” There is a large contingent of fly fishermen frequenting Lake Taneycomo who like to wade fish. Since the water fluctuates so much due to the hydropower generation of Table Rock Dam, anglers must pay attention to water levels before wading. At times, there is no safe wade fishing near the dam, where many like to fly fish. When there is safe wade fishing water, it can be dynamite. Just be cautious. The water rises rapidly when turned on, so if you are wade fishing and hear the whistle, move to the shore right away. See you down the trail.

Darn JayHawks probably caught in Missouri

Well with my diabetes pancakes will not make my list, but now the mix with whiskey....😁

30 years ago Tablerock had "football Kentucky's" and lots of them 16" weigh 2-3 lbs I was opposed to lower the length. But seems they have got more like me short, but still chunky. Sounds like a good plan to me, maybe the eaters will utilize those rather than LM and SM?

use a temp gauge......min 140 top 190 usually until it looks browned
