KC Trout Fan

I am gonna throw the Ned for the first time this weekend. Any pointers would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance.

A little new to the Ned discussion.... Is there a ideal size for the jig head? Has anyone fished it around grass?

What is "the little varmit" you are referring to?

Ok great thanks guys.

I don't think that will work.... The rubber cap raises above the switch to elevate the grey trigger on the foot pedal..

I am looking for a replacement part in Kansas City. It is the foot swtich under the pedal. It is for a motor guide trolling motor. I have found the actual switch part but can't find the rubber piece that goes over the top? Any suggestions? I have friends/ family down there if there is somewhere I could buy one from near Branson area.

We caught about 20 bass in cricket last weekend all on shakey heads. Was muddy last weekend but still caught them.

8.70 is current lead

7.99

913-917 usually...

I have always heard Pro Blue. I got a few this winter havent got a chance to use them yet though..

I have been bass fishing Table Rock for a couple years now. I really started fishing seriously 3 years ago, got a 19 ft basscat a year ago, and am a novice boater at best. I have experenced these waves as well and too dont like them. My biggest gripe is the size of the pleasure boats. I strongly feel that there should be size limits on the baots on any lake. Some of the 30 plus footers were not built for lakes and i often joke that they are "oceanliners" on Table Rock. There is no reason for a boat over 30 foot to be on a lake. The wakes not only cause fishermen like us headaches but cause damage to property, erode shore lines, and damage habitats for the marine life. Until this problem is addressed all of those factors will suffer, including us fishermen. Saying that, I know good and well that is a lofty propisition that most likley will never happen. Just my 2 cents...

water is still cold up north most lakes around KC low to mid 40's first big tourney is in 2 or 3 weeks.

thx red i was kinda hoping there were more pics of the area crica 1950"s to see the structure that is underwater now.

Where did you find that old picture at? (of the Old Bridge)

GF, basically I have my baits nose point up, not too much but just alittle, don't know why but it works unreal... I had taking a FLW tour guy out in the late winter and he showed me the trick of placing the sticky weight right in front of the last hook. He out fished me 5 to 1 his was weighted mine was not!!! Same bait!!! it just allows the tail to drop down and raise the nose up as it suspends. Just go buy some Storm stick on weights and give it try, you will like it.. Now I do it to all of my stickbaits, McSticks, Pointers and Megabass.. Good Fishing Don Don would the put the weight in front of the back hook and weight the front too?

Hi guys i wanted to pick your brain on an issue i have. I own a 1990 basscat pantera had to get a new engine for it, 2009 135 optimax but it in not proped right. I they took the HI-5 off the old engine so that is what i got on it . Basscat says they dont have a spec for this boat/motor combo, the mechanics thought it would pitch out between 21-23. Any ideas?

Got out this morning, braved the rain, caught 25 between me and my partner. 3 keepers and alot of dinks, temps between 52(around Shell Knob) to 47 (near Viola). Caught fish on speed craws rigged on shakey heads and football jigs.

How far up the line are you rigging your shot? And how heavy is the shot?

90 Basscat Pantera, 99 Merc 150 xr6 Currently getting rebuilt but will be done soon

AGREED!!

Anyone? Any imput.

I am trying to find some articles on post spawn patterns. I am wanting to understand what depth , cover/structure, bottom composition that the fish relate to ? Are their first movements deeper off of the beds to points? Does the thermocline position these fish in areas for the summer, when they move deeper and or tighter to cover ? Any help??

Found out today oil pump failed, locked up 4 cylinders of 6, needless to say I'm having a bad day.
