MoCarp

Trusty Sidewinder spoons, caught a lot of trout on these WAY back, silver was the best color, tied a bit of feathers on the treble, back then you could limit out on rainbows in Taney that avg 3-4 lbs EACH! not so many fishermen then

Old school bait catching and keeping

lol yeah 308 and kept a lil envelope with extra springs

Creme worm in 6 " and mann's razorback..and pork frog for the back of those sally's

More old favs, trusty beetle spin/devils horse.and thin fin

man o man... I loved this stuff, fly rod hula popper (great on a spinning rod for creek bass hitting grass hoppers) H & H spinnerbait (always caught a channel cat when bass fishing) and the trusty hump back rebel was a smallmouth killer in that old crawfish pattern

And these old lures really worked do you remember?, snaggless sally, mepps comet, a BIG "O"

earned to fish withe these.

I wonder if the high water will mean more large fish next year...? more food /fertility introduced? even better spawning because of high water conditions...would like feed back on what everyone has noticed....

The baby shad raps, on a very small baitcasting reel is slamming for bigger trout in Taney used the old trilene XT in 6lbs green as the stiffer line worked better as a note replace the hooks with red wide gaps don't be surprised if you roll a monster or 2

Here is a Video on the uses, not just carp, cats...even dead baiting for record class brown trout, but thats a different story

Fish heads work best, set in slabby rock areas with cobble the size of soft balls transition areas water being high i'd look at 7-12 feet later in the summer 10-15 in day time 5 foot at night...

Small carp by small its relative 6 -10 pounds, from clean Ozark waters can be very good, had a guy at a fish-in make "carp rib fish sticks"

feed corn works great, a baiting needle makes it easy to put on a hair rig "posted how thats tied"

I have seen better days, trying to get fishing more though

Jigs heaver than you would think...3/8 oz....gulp works great.....cut offs can be an issue, but its worth it, as a note buzz baits for pike is a blast

perma harvest is wrong..IMHO...and yes I am BAAAAAAAAACCCCK BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BUUUHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

for YEARS I fished stockton for walleyes and smallies, Huge walleyes were in the lake the native river strain they look more bass belly shaped... they got huge back in th 80's you had to work hard for eyes, caught nice keepers from 3-8 pounds, sometimes a guy bass fishing would nail a real monster bassfishing in the mid teens, almost always in the fall. at some point they stocked a "lake spawn" northern strain but they never seemed to break 4 pounds, Truman, LOZ, BullShoals better for huge fish more about genetics than food....I had a conversation with a state biologist once he said that the native strain doent repoduce well in a hatchery.........I have seen fish in the 15-world record class in BS back in the day havent heard of one over 17 in a long time......I wish the state would spend more time trying to save the old "jack salmon" that used to come outa the lakes.......you would have thought that the state would have used a better brood stock cause in spots up yankee land they get huge as well.......sometimes quality is better than quanity......

go away 6 years and all kinds of things happen state record yellow perch? WTH???? did the water level changes effect powersite fishing? hows the walleyes doing in stockton, TR and Bullshoals? white bass ever comeback to former glory???? let me tell you....Ill trade texas fishing for here any day its good there but you just can't go as often as here not as diverse as here..... I cant tell you how many people there lust to fish the ozarks......some one needs to run some south texas tv spots when its 110 in the shade there....ahhhh the cool ozark streams!!!! they would be here like knats!!!! Smallmouth oh my brown bolts of finny thunder how have I missed you......don't EVEN get me started on trout.......why I eat bigger fish on a cracker than they catch.....we are spoiled here..........its just the winter that sux's...

so I guess the question now is any bait dealers have any shad??????....case closed!

missouri law sure...what about kansas, oklahoma and arkansas??????
