Have a spare already, been stranded before. Just not looking forward to changing it.

Made a short trip Wednesday afternoon. Not much to report, caught a few small ones on a square bill around wood. Couple of hits on a plastic worm, caught one keeper on a swimbait counting it down. Would have fished a little harder but I've been nursing a lower unit and I think it's time to swap it out. Has a little strange noise at low speed, still working but the lower plug has a lot of shaving, no chunks yet but you can see the metal flakes in the oil. Was a steady line of boats headed to Shell Knob for the Wednesday nighter.

I use the ramp at Walnut Spring as my personal dividing line between the two.

I had a GF like that, didn't know the answer but was sure you were wrong. Makes for a hard relationship.

You have the answers, enlighten us.

Why don't you enlighten us?

Some people just like to be contrary it seems. If I had a pea size brains to start with, you start taking oxygen away and it will slow all responses. Eventually ( it doesn't take long) if the oxygen stays low you pass out and die. They had a really hard time waking me once when an aircraft had a pressure leak. This isn't the first or last DO caused fish kill on TR. If you've been watching the generation schedule they haven't been running much water either in or out of the lake, so I can see there being low DO pockets forming. My first college course was taught by a limnology major, a lake isn't like a glass of water with everything consistent.

It's a poor carpenter that blames his tools....

My personal Lake Record is 9lb 7 ounce, (April 1994) which is better than my lake record for Fork, Toho, Rodman, Toledo Bend, Kentucky, St Johns River, Kissimee, etc.

Today in Verona, I think.

Nice report as usual, I may try to get out one evening next week, if I can get the old truck running.

You using the single blade on the spin jig or the double?

I was out early put in at Shell Knob fished towards Eagle Rock. Whites and small spots were hitting TW over the channel by the island, killed some time chasing them. Must be a poor fisherman, could not find any on roll offs or flats. Ended up spooning and dropshot into deep docks to find any keepers.

Nice report Bo, to bad I can't stay awake past 9 any more.

Hell, I'm the youngster in my group and I'm an Social Security.

I like a rod stiff enough the spoon doesn't flex the tip for the flutter spoons.

Have phone will travel, I'm in as a judge.

Probably steepandcheap.com they have a lot of Costa deals.

Probably 20 years ago I caught a LARGE carp on a C-rigged lizard, on the James.

I believe, as I read the code , you can carry a fish around for a while but if you release it at a later time, it still counts toward your daily limit. It's not prohibited to release them at another spot in the same body of water.

Bears never left, they are just very elusive. First bear track I saw was 1963, in Schoolhouse Hollow on James River.

Hope he's doing well.

You should have dropped a jig/swimbait to the bottom under those gar, I've caught some goodun's doing just that.

I've been retired longer than I worked, barely have time to fish. Congratulations on the big event.
