Cant speak as to anyone else but my dock look like it was sitting in shallow water. I know they are still running water but the sediment has built in I guess. Normally I have 6 feet under stall number one and 15 feet under stall number 2. Today I was looking at 4 feet in stall one and maybe 12 in stall number 2.

AND be able to prove it. Knowing the law gives you plenty of insight on the prudence of "not getting caught". Keep your mouth shut and dispose of the evidence properley and no court in the land will even be able to bring up charges yet alone give grounds for civil recourse. Im with you Gonefishin, I have alot of neighbor dogs running around my property, probably because my own Varmit Killer invites them in. I have had just a handful of problems over the span of decades and I handled those issues......BOOM!

As I have mentioned in prior posts, I dont really look for crappies or whites. I basically just run into them by accident while Bass Fishing. Wich I havent been doing alot of latley. I hopefully will get my property back in order and get my garden sowed(can you believe its not?) within the next week or so to get back into the swim of things. I am also planning my yearly Bass Cram, am back to plan A(Campbell Point), That still might not happen till the first week of May. After that, Expect a real surge of reports on the Lower Taney for I will be itching to start disecting the water in my own back yard again.

All launcheas are OK! Bull is fine as well. Lower Taney is totally accessable.

Welcome!

Never heard of such a thing. I have been killing dogs that cross the line for decades son. Mine and others. Half my family are law men and do the same thing. Its the way it is. Animals are beasts of burden and when burden ill thouh shall die to move on for the next and better. Nothing more.

Actually, In missouri , as a landowner, outside the city limits, you may blast away a dog if it is on your property. Wether it is threatning or not. Most people arent that callous but Legally..... This stems back to issues in northern missouri, where dumped/stray dogs were running in packs back in the early 80s. The issue was resolved with a shoot on sight mentality but only on your own property. Old timers today still consider it a matter -as -fact.

Hopefully buy the weekend they will just probably be downs to just all generators. Still pretty high and fast. Most the easy bite will ocurr on the upper end. But the drift with white marabous would be a good start. I personally never fish above roark and tend to pursuit bass instead of trout when the water has been in high water generation for long periods of time.

Just went our for a quick cruise to see how the terrain has faired over this past week. What I observed was confounding. It was like viewing a totally different set of rules. Flats were chopped in half, holes were filled in. Old reliable cover is missing and drop off edges have either became less defined or moved yards down stream. I also found points with longer draws and almost at the mouth of every cove and creek I found lots off debris. Good debris though, Piles of sunken logs and more roots balls than I have ever scene in those areas. Now I looked at all of it as a double edge sword. On one side. Thirty years of mentally mapping and coursing every hot brownie hole I could find has just been tossed in a blender. All my usual dozen or so daily hits were effected enough that I now question my confidence in them. It was if I woke up and I had to learn how to get dressed all over again. I couldnt help but to feel a bit discouraged because I could already feel my "40+, 20 inch brownies a year average" prowess will finally have to be accomplished by working for them instead of just hitting the spots I nurtured and playing the odds. I felt like a card counter in Vegas when they change the decks and dealers. I felt like I was playing trivial pursuit and someone has put in all new questions to the game I had mastered(memorized) over 20 years. Then I looked at the time. I had been out on the lake graphing for 2 hours and havnt even wet a hook. Bringing the reality of the other side. I was excited to see something new as well. I was in awe of the potential of it all and although my confidence was totally gone, the wheels in my head couldnt gear fast enough on how I wanted to adapt to it all. Then I started think that maybe my "one 20 inch brownie per 10 hour average" might improve. Then I started to feel like a guide again. The good side of the biz, not the service side, and then the tourney guy fishing new water popped his head out. I was salivating with the idea of conquering and determination quelled over the discouragement I was feeling not 2 hours earlier. I was actually feeling challenged by a water that I had predisposed as simple. A new fire lit inside of me and I couldnt imagine how sweet it might all be when we are down to 2 or 3 generators. I had a whole new lease of the Lower Taney and I was calculating all the ranch chores I will be able to blow off this summer. Then I was remembering I had to meet the Lil Lady I started up the old 61' Evinrude to jet back to the dock and when I kicked it in gear. BAM....Broke my shear pin. Reminding me that I still havent fixed my prop yet. At least some things havent changed. Haha I bet when all the water settles, alot of you guys will find your favorite wading spots up there by the Dam have made alot of changes similar to mine. Hope you have fun with it.

Welcome!

Hoglaw, Thats just because we small town folk turn to our guns when we are bitter. HeHe

I fight fire with fire. My varmit killer dont care if the animal is somebodies pet. She will defend the ground she stands on. And she HATES cats. But, I will shoot her myself if she ever attacked a human. So, I can say I am aligned with Al. I wouldnt hesitate killing a nuisance dog. At least where I live, To dispose of the evidence is as simple tossing it in the lake and let the possums fish it out downstream. But, as a dog lover, I have rarely found a dog much of a nuisance. My neighbors as well as myself wouldnt ever chain up our pets so sometimes on a warm winter night you can hear 3 to 6 "hood" dogs tracking down some scared to crap varmit along the river bank. After all, It is entertaining and lets not forget....it is thier job. Hehe

Welcome!

Welcome!

you would stear it with a rudder.

Welcome!

I say bring it on....I cut loose all my crappie piles and hope the high water will bring on good fishing in the future.

I am on the channel side across from rockaway. My ramp is under water and that is a first since I have seen ever. Have been pushing logs all day. I will have pics up on my blog in a day or so. The river has jumped its bank near twin islands and is shooting straight across to bull creek. That is a sore for us dock owners, brings more trash to push out. My Gram is a natural born native and says this is the worst she has seen. She is 82. Looking across from the lake, Rockaway is fairing well as long as you dont want to fish. Most of the property is lapping at the edges.

Thom, My house sits on a cliff, about 150 feet above the lake. My dock on the other hand...... Thankful for small things I guess.

Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor must have fell off the wagon. oogg ugg ugg more power!

I cant be the only one growing gills.

Pretty slim pickings for "Old-school" authentic Italian eateries in the Branson area. Although, Tony Z's does a pretty good job menu wise. Some would say a bit pricey but I make it a point never to look at prices when I dine out. I dont like the price of an item to influence my decision making.

Zio's is a Mac Grill rip off. Pasta house is fast food, dont let the ambiance fool ya. And Mac Grill is nothing but an Italian Applesleeze.
