Thanks I hope you the best too!

What was the winning weight and who won the AiA??

It is A 1990 Bass Cat Pantera with a 99 Merc XR6 , has been very well Kept, newer Motorguide 72 on the front. That motorguide came up big yesterday!

Took my Brother and Dad down to fish out of the boat we just bought, Thurs afternoon caught 1 short on a spinner in Spring Branch. Friday started at Little Indian with no luck eventually moved to wind blown secondarys in Cow Creek. Threw warts caught 3 shorts. Now Here is where the story got sour, Sat morning Heading out around Point 5 engine shuts down!! so fire the trolling Motor up start Back around Point 5 and all hell breaks loose with the Weather. We have to get back to Rice Camp to get the trailer. So instead of calling for help we decide to do it on our own, make it two coves then dock up at a ramp, Me and the bro walk through the Woods about 2 miles and get the trailer. It was an adventure to say the least! Now we have to get the boat fixed and we have used it less then 10 hours. Oh well just gonna get back up and keep on going.

Awsome, Please let us konw how it is I am gonna try to do this next year!

Thank you sirs!

what exactly is scrubbing a grub, also is there a certian color trailer on the jigs?

This is from the Bass Fan website... Lead ban counfounds industry 3/16/2009 A recent action by the Obama administration has left anglers and the fishing industry scratching their heads. Last week, the National Park Service (NPS) suddenly announced it would ban lead fishing tackle in national parks by 2010. The American Sportfishing Association (ASA) weighed on in the controversy with a widely distributed statement. "The sportfishing industry is surprised and dismayed by the March 10 announcement made by the National Park Service," said ASA VP Gordon Robertson. "Their intention to eliminate the use of lead in fishing tackle in national parks was made without prior consultation of the sportfishing industry or the millions of recreational anglers who fish within the national park system." Robertson added: "In his Jan. 21, 2009 Executive Memo to federal agency and department heads, President Obama made it very clear that he expects the federal government to be transparent, participatory and collaborative and that 'executive departments and agencies should offer Americans increased opportunities to participate in policymaking and to provide their government with the benefits of their collective expertise and information.' We expect the National Park Service to follow the President's order." In the normal course of events, the sportfishing and shooting-sports industries (lead component ammunition is also included in the ban) would have been notified by the NPS about this change in policy and would have been invited to discuss this decision with NPS staff, the ASA noted. Robertson also said: "The NPS policy announcement, issued by a press release, does not explain how this decision was reached, why it may be necessary or how this rule will be implemented. To our knowledge, there has been no proposed rule, nor any opportunity for public comment. We request that the NPS withdraw this proposal and discuss the rationale for it with the appropriate stakeholders before taking further action."

I am in favor of expansion, due to the fact that i am a northerner. If you would need feedback on lakes in and around Kansas City I am avaliable and very willing. Plus, I have Been wanting to change my handle forever and havent been able to do so. I think some people are worried about the quailty of a new board, but I think if Phil will allow Fisherman in the different regions to assist in moderating the sections it will take nothing away from the Ozarks section, and strengthen the over all goal of a broader forum. I fish tournaments in KC and down at The Rock, and know we dont have a quality discussion board for KC . I would love to have the opportunity to meet other anglers in my area and pick their brains like you guys do. So obviously I am in support of the expansion and truly appreciate the all that Phil and friends do for us fishermen. Sincerly, Matt Morrison

He is incredible! It is amazing what determined people can accomplish. Is ther any rumblings where Walker was at today?

I agree with Bill I have had good luck with tacklewarehouse too. For dropshotters it has a good selection of the japanese floro lines in diferent sizes like 7 lb which is a favorite of Aaron Martens.

Where were you fishing, and what were the water temps like???

("In addition there have been several smallmouth being caught on windy pea gravel points, fish a Yamamoto 4" single tail salt and pepper grub on a 1/4 oz. head. If the wind is blowing hard enough the fish will be right on the bank chasing shad.") EP, What is the best technique to fish the grubs ? Do you bump them along the bottom, cast and reel, stop and go( giving it a little dying action) or other??

IKe is in the Lead with like 19 lbs today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
