Travis, I understand. My end of Table Rock was also "limited." I learned what I call the "community holes." Those are the ones where you need to go really early if you want to be the first person to fish it that day. I eventually learned others. I don't think anyone intended to put traffic on areas you spent time to learn. I admire your apology. Tight lines.

Everyone loves your salmon. Yes please.

Steam the tails just long enough to barely set the meat. Remove from shell and vacuum seal with a large pat of butter in the pouch. If desired herbs can go in the pouch as well. Try tarragon. Sous vide between 130 (tender/succulent) and 140 (traditional). Tail from 1.5 lobster -> 20 minutes +

This time of year, besides the jerk bait and a slow sink weightless white Sluggo, try a 1/8 ounce feathered jig with a minnow. Put the hook point in the mouth and go through the bottom jaw. Turn the jig and pierce the minnow again through the ventral or pelvic fins until the hook point is just under the skin in front of the dorsal fins. Minnow stays on for quite a while and easy to hook the fish. Greenwood (Winnebago on floats) taught me this.

I love a good story.

If anyone does not know, chipotles are smoked and dried jalapenos. The restaurants chain appropriated the term for its name.

I just found this typo. How strange. I think I hit a "paste" from another source. Weird.

Not French onion soup, but chicken noodle.

I respectfully disagree with some suggestions made. 10# braid is all you need. Any more drag tension only insures you will lose fish during the fight. Go with line in the 2# to 6# visibility range, but keep the drag light, and the room dark and substance free.

The French onion soup I learned in culinary school was so tedious (beef stock, caramelized purple onion, a float to remove impurities, toppings) that I never make it. Even though it was a PITA, the end product unfairly makes all else seem cheap and dirty.

How about you pick your choice from these possibilities: slaw, potato salad, dessert, paper plates, cutlery

This thread will list what foods and accessories have been promised for the event. So far: Quillback - hot dogs and buns & hand sanitizer rps - chili and cheese for the dogs crazy4fishin - chips and soda liphunter - paper plates, cups, cutlery cheesemaser - desserts Phil - salmon Daryk Campbell Sr. - charcoal, propane fryer with vegetable oil. Toasted Ravioli. Anyone welcome to use the fryer. magicworman - brownies, case of water

And his crappie jig is the best currently available for Ned rigging.

I can do that. Tomorrow I will start a One Bass Tournament Food Thread. I will list what has been promised so far and ask others what they can/will bring.

Simple meal last night.

Took the first shot this afternoon. No second head ... yet.

Old fashioned hotdog sauerkraut casserole.

While in London, the wife and I took walking tours on the weekend. Some were guided. Some were not and we read a book to guide us. One unguided trip, we walked several miles of river/canal. We went under a bridge and discovered a young man. 11? 12? 13? He had caught a nice yellow perch. 12 or 14 inches, on a spinner. We stopped and talked with him about his bait, technique, and luck. When we had walked out of earshot, the wife whispered to me, "He will remember today." I said, "Yes. it was great fish." She said, "No. You were there to admire it." If I have told the story before, I am still working on it.

Persuasive writing was the main focus of 8th grade writing in Arkansas for the last 7 or 8 years before I retired. Among the tools I taught to read and write persuasive pieces was a thing called SOAPSTONE. I used it as a way to teach the students to read critically. S = speaker O = occasion A = audience P = Purpose S = subject TONE Rigorous use of this analysis tool was difficult for them. Obviously, many we know have never heard of it or find it equally difficult. Social media is rife with content targeted at vulnerable audiences, by sketchy writers, intended with harm or other ugly purpose. Sadly, these same attributes make money, and the mainstream is tainted as well. Sorry. I will stop preaching now.

Walleye, sauger, the European zander, and the yellow perch are all members of the true perch family. They have similar diets and similar spawning requirements, just not identical. Yellow perch do not require the long stretch of moving water that the walleye does. Even though there normal spawn time is the same. I never caught one on TR, but I expect one day they will appear the same way they did in Bull Shoals. BTW, consider how many there must be in Bull Shoals for mature fish to exist since walleye, bass, and stripers feed on them.
