  2. A few years ago I was on White River in the Ranchette area and saw a copperhead attempting to swim across the river. When I first saw it from afar I thought it was a water snake. When I pulled up beside him I was amazed to see that it was a copperhead. The water on the White River is extremely cold (around 55 degrees) and it is a pretty long swim across it. I could not believe a copperhead was attempting that swim or what inspired him to get to the other side.
  3. May God bless you and your wife with strength and good health. Going through that has to be a mental and physical strain on both of you.
  4. Wow!! A picture like that might be worth enough to replace the old avatar? Congratulations. It is good see a fisherman, that has put in a lot of time, be rewarded for his committment.
  5. Ask fof Tom and Championship Marine in Spokane, MO. Phone #443-2628. He does good work and I think he does carpet.
  6. That is the kind of boring I am looking for.
  7. That post makes me laugh and recall some other stories I have heard. My brother and Dad was guides for years on the White River and had some real adventures with some fisherman. They did not make a lot of money but made a lot of memories.
  8. Sorry of the delay, I was out ot town this past weekend. Jak1717, the boat was in about 20-30' of water Tfsh4bass, I launched at the state park on the Bull Shoals side of the dam. There was enough parking for about 10 truck/trailers.
  9. Caught several SM, a few walleye and a few white bass swimming a grub around the trees on main lake points. I was using about a 5/8 oz jig head to make sure it was staying deep enought in the water. Caught a few on C-rig ahd one on a spinnerbait. Spinnerbait was not the bait of choice for us.
  10. Doug, So to make sure I understand this, if the boat speed is 3 mph the chart speed should be 3?
  11. Fished Saturday from 10:30 to 6 p.m. and caught 25 total. Only had 2-3 keepers. Most where SM and few K's. Caught most all of them scrubbing a smoke color grub. Those SM are fun to catch even if they are not big ones. They put up a big fight for there size.
  12. I have been using a light weight 6'6" spinning rod to throw the c-rig. It take a finesse technique to cast it. It is really funny to watch (maybe even youtube material). I am considering getting a rod that makes it a little easier to cast. Does anyone have any recommendation?
  13. I like the Falcon 6'6" BooCoo ($99.00) on a baitcaster for the shakey head. It is a versatile rod that I use for shakey head, texas rig, wiggle wart, finesse jig and/or any other bait that is 5/16 oz or lighter.
  14. Memorable fishing trip without a fish in the story.
  15. I tested my Rapala digital scale about a year ago against a postal scale. The Rapala scale gave the same wgt as the postal scale.
  16. If it gets to $4.00/gallon the next topic of conversation might be "Wood or Aluminum- which paddles the best"
  17. I am pretty sure Championship does gelcoating
  18. I second the recommendation for Championship Marine
  19. I have never fished the swim jig but I dont limit myself just to the common baits. I like to try different baits. Half the fun is the mental game.
  20. Fished from 10:00 - 3:30 and caught 20 (3 keepers) all on the wiggle wart. All of them were K's except for the last one, it was a LM. Good day to be out catching fish.
  21. I fished from 11:00- 6:00 with only a short LM for the day. Caught it on a blade next to a ledge. No wind and blue bird skies or maybe I don't have a clue what I am doing. Either way it was humbling day.
  22. It should be a cold morning. Good luck and let me know how you do.
  23. Fished Cape Fair today from 10:30 to 3:00. I caught 4 LM (1 keeper) all on the blade. They were all in water around 5 feet. 3 where caught on pea gravel banks and 1 was caught on a rock ledge close to deep water. I hope this info can help another fisherman.
  24. It helps me to change the bottom range to 50' or so. Then the sonar is focusing only on the top 50 fow.
