Does anyone know if the ramp at Joe Bald is OK to put in? Thanks.

Took my Dad out today for this birthday. Fished mostly in Mill Creek. Had 4 keepers-2 smallmouth and 2 Kentuckys. Had 1 nice Smallmouth- 3 and a quarter lbs. Caught 7-8 shorts also. Most on brown/purple football jig with green pumplin paca chunk trailer in 10-15 feet off of rocky banks/points. Caught some right off trees in 15-18 feet with smoke/red flake tube. My Dad was swimmin a smoke grub and caught 4-5 in 12-18 feet, mostly around trees. Had a nice one hang him in a tree first thing this AM in the cove next to Joe Bald park-never saw it. All in all, not a bad day-great weather. No wind so I put the blade down pretty quick and stayed with the jig mostly. Did throw a red fin early-had 1 smack at it, but that was about it. Appreciate all the good info. on this site-thought I should contribute something. Water temp. today was 65-66.

We will keep your wife in our prayers and good luck to you.

I have been fishing the Heartland Pro/Ams as an Amateur for the past 2 years. I have enjoyed them and its a great format. I finished 6th overall this year and will fish again in 2009, not sure after that.

Is there any way a guy could fish from the bank on Beaver right now for white bass? Thanks for the input.

Hit the water at 7:30 and fished until 11:30. Fished in 45-60 feet of water near point 9 area towards the back of a cove and caught 20+ Kentuckys-9 keepers, biggest about 16.5 inches, most 14-15 inch range. Used smoke colored 4 inch grubs. They were very active for me from 7:45-10:00 and slowed down after that. They were feeding pretty heavy on shad, a few of them were spitting up shad after I got them in the boat.

Does anyone know where I can find Hawg Jaw spinnerbaits? I heard the company went out of business-don't know if anyone still carries some inventory or not. Thanks for the info.

Should have taken the advice about going to K-dock. We fished from 86 bridge to Cricket Creek Marina with only 1 keeper. Fished mostly timber off bluffs, also went in to Blairs Branch, fishing the trees in 30 feet of water. At least it was a nice day, but very frustrating. Any ideas about what's going on with the crappie in this area? The water temp. was 55 degrees-should be about right.

Looking for any input on the crappie bite. I'm taking my Dad Wednesday on Table Rock and any info. would be appreciated. I am assuming timber along the bluffs near Long Creek or Cape Fair?

A guy I work with wants to come to Table Rock this weekend to fish for Crappie. Any suggestions on best locations? At what depths should we focus on? I had planned to go to Cape Fair area or Long Creek area. Appreciate any advice from those who have been on the lake alot lately.
