Bass Pro to carry LEWS reels and drop Daiwa????
Champ188 replied to abkeenan's topic in Table Rock Lake
I've said my piece and then some about such matters. No need making additional enemies. -
I spend less and less time up there as the years go on. Got burned in too many derbies making that run and then having to play bumper boats with everyone else over those 6-7 spots you mentioned. I'm moving into Schooner and White's Branch this coming spring.
-
Ah, OK ... don't get out there much and didn't think about that one. I too had visions of Noah's ark in reference to the big bridge.

Pretty good, Enforcer. We had 15 total in 7 hours, including 8 keepers with a couple of 4-pounders and some solid 2.5 and 3-pound fish. Spinnerbait, squarebill and jig. Oh, and one on a buzz bait. A fun day even though it literally rained sideways all day. We were on the lower end ... Disney up to Duck Creek. Water was a bit more stained than I expected and is likely to get even more stained with all the rain Sunday. Creeks and ditches were really running when we started home. Surface temps 54-58.

Competition got too stiff for him up the Kings.

Good job, Ben. Sounds like lots of fun. Had to be a lot more comfortable under that covered dock than out in the rain like Donna and I were on Grand yesterday. Top photo is definitely a LM. The rest look like K's to me.
-
LOL, now that would be quite the sight.
-
Boy, that sure makes me feel better. Kind of like the deep peace I get from listening to Obama.
-
Water temps were 56-58 on Thursday in the Shell Knob area.
-
Couldn't agree more, Tanderson. All six of our cats are rescues.

At my house, the problem is often between the monitor and the chair back.

So, actually, this is not a team event but an individual one in which you just might HAPPEN to have a partner onboard. So, if I win, I wouldn't necessarily have to share the spoils with my boat companion, right?
-
Again, totally awesome. Feel-good thread of the year.
-
Don't forget, you would also have had to credit your Power Poles for holding your rig steady while you battled that behemoth, presuming you either had the 100-foot Table Rock Specialty Series or the optional Hugger device that allows you to clamp onto bridge pilings, trees, boat docks or other vertical structure.

I caught one on a blade last winter that was pushing the heck out of 4 pounds. That's my biggest from TR. I did catch a 4-13 at Bull Shoals many years ago while fishing with former BASS pro and Ranger public relations guy Jim Nolan.
-
Couldn't agree more with both statements, except you gotta put cats in there, too. They love you just like dogs; they're just a little more coy about showing it sometimes. Here are 3 of our 6, all fulltime indoors. Yeah, it's a zoo sometimes.

High praise coming from a guy who's been featured in magazines including Bassmaster and Field & Stream and has designed colors for Bass Pro Shops, SPRO and top pro anglers across the country.
-
Very nice indeed, mjk. The one in the bottom pic should be absolute dynamite.
-
That's freakin' awesome, Joe. Best post I've seen on OAF in a very long time. Thanks for being a true stand-up guy. The way a man treats animals says a lot about himself.
-
Donna and I are in.
-
Dang, you just can't front end your partner anywhere anymore. LOL
-
Well, that's one Wart I won't have to worry about getting beat with in a tournament. LOL. Just kidding, dude. Sorry to hear you lost your best one. I'm guilty as sin itself when it comes to not retying often enough. Glad you caught a bunch to soothe the pain.
-
Really sucks about your phone, Enforcer. I keep saying I'm gonna back mine up to the Cloud or something but never seem to get around to it. Maybe I will now. Thanks for the good report. I would normally say that if you guys see me out in the middle of a creek over 70 feet of water, my motor is broke down and please come help. But with this deep bite going on and lack of a shallow one, I just might be fishing.

Tough way to make a living is putting it mildly. I've known a lot of them over the years and without exception, they'll tell you the two hardest things about it are (1) being away from home 200 days a year and (2) the time spent behind the steering wheel of a pickup pulling a boat.

I'm guessing the old line trick didn't work in that tricky location. Removed by doctor?
