Temps are supposed to be steady in the upper 30s. It will have to drop to at least 30 before the roads will be of any legitimate concern. We might get better weather another weekend, but turnout might be less than even this weekend given people's busy lives these days. It's also tournament season already, which likely will affect some members.

That little creek arm (Aunts) has always tended to fill up with shad.

Donna and I are in (with 5 pounds of tater salad) as long as enough others show up. And if we're driving up there, we are dang sure fishing.
-
Good job, Ketchup. Sorry about the big one.
-
Very impressive. And proof positive that our lake has the forage base to support a larger bass population.
-
Super-nice fish, Ben. Congrats!
-
I kind of envy you guys who can fish for 2.5 hours. Takes me that long to get settled in.

3-6 and 3-7 Around Docks at Indian Point
Champ188 replied to Ben Gillispie's topic in Table Rock Lake
Nothing to laugh at there, Ben. Great job and obviously lots of fun. Keep it up. -
And that, folks, may be the most insightful statement made in this entire thread.

I bought one of these last year. Works like a charm. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Z-Launch_Watercraft_Launch_Cord/descpage-EZLAN.html

Masterfully stated. And a bone worth chewing.

Seems like a lot of trouble to turn the back electronics around when they could just turn them off if they didn't want you to see them. Also kinda stupid to be shooting multiple transducer signals. If I'm drop-shotting or doing anything that requires a clear view up front, I turn off my other units.

I often fish in the foulest of foul weather. I live for it. Still no one would've wanted to be on Grand yesterday. It's a different animal entirely when the wind gets up above 20 mph.

That's why God gave us GoreTex.

Well, the rain never materialized but it would've been purt-near impossible to fish today in that wind. As Bill said, there were 4-footers on The Rock, which means there would've been 6-footers on Grand. Even an old windbag like me doesn't want to be out there in that.

Great report, Dewayne, and again, it was very good to see you. Members like you are what puts this site light-years beyond any other fishing forum on the internet. Good luck the rest of the season and stay in touch.

Quit messing with me. I played bad golf yesterday and today both. Was planning to fish tomorrow and now they're calling for an 80% chance of severe storms.

Bill Beck's Big Day Saturday Fishing Report
Champ188 replied to Bill Babler's topic in Table Rock Lake
I remember the guy you're talking about. They were catching some on a Wart but I think the yellow bait was another kind of critter. Can't remember. I do know that I was catching some about that same time pretty far back in Big Creek on a jerk bait and a spinner bait once the water started to warm into the 50s. -
Glad you're back and able to make it, Pepe. Look forward to seeing you Saturday.
-
Good thing is that when they come thru Beaver Dam, they are in trout waters and seldom venture very far down the lake.
-
Don't buy into his poor-me schtick, abk. He's as wiley as that ol' coyote. Probably just punched the enter key on another order to Acme Distributors, Inc.

Bill Beck's Big Day Saturday Fishing Report
Champ188 replied to Bill Babler's topic in Table Rock Lake
Believe me, I've seen it change in just the 15 years that I've been fishing TR. To catch them shallow consistently, you have to love fishing that way enough to grind and grind and grind some days. Even then, it takes some tricks up your sleeve and years of trial-and-error that not everyone has. Sprint21 and a couple of others around here know the deal. And then some days you just have to get out there with the Bo's, Bablers and Becks of the world and hope they'll scoot over and let you in on some of the deep fish. -
Very informative report, Mike. And a refreshing attitude toward your boaters. I knew Brian was top shelf from competing against him over the years. But good to hear the same about the other two. Congrats on a great showing and best of luck going forward.
-
QB and I both live smack dab between Grand and The Rock. It can be a tough decision which way to go sometimes. The thing I like is the diversity --- between the two lakes, you can fish polar opposite patterns in the same seasons. And some of you thought an old right-wing conservative like me couldn't even spell d-i-v-e-r-s-i-t-y.

Bill Beck's Big Day Saturday Fishing Report
Champ188 replied to Bill Babler's topic in Table Rock Lake
Obviously, the aging factor of the lake itself is making this a solid pattern just about any time of the year on The Rock but it seems even stronger with the low water we have now. Learn to catch suspended fish and you will rarely have a bad day on this lake.
