They give the marshalls a phone that is assigned to a specific pro..the phones were At&t so they were spotty with their signal. The pros didnt to do anything with it as far as I could tell

I marshalled for Brandon Card the first day. He stopped in at one of the creeks in baxter and fished a jerkbait on some secondary points towards the back of the creek. He caught alot of fish but no keepers there. He fished the bait with a 1 or 2 second pause. I was under the uncorrect assumption that jerkbaits needed to soak for at the very least 15 of 20 seconds. I asked him about the pause timing and he said that I ought to see KVD throw one . We then went to a bank in the Shell Knob area and pulled in behind I think Russ Lane. We went the opposite way down the bank He just fished and started catching keepers. I asked if it bothered him that someone had just fished that bank. He said He just had to believe he had the magic bait. He caught his limit off of that bank. The only crankbait I throw is a wigglewart He was using a bandit. He said he could not catch them like everybody else with a wigglewart to prove his point he turned around and went back down the bank with a wigglewart and never got sniffed. He turned back around and picked up the bandit again and started to catch them just like before. Then we went up the kings to try and flip up some big ones but that did not pan out. He ended up just cranking down the banks and catching several shorts and a few more keepers. . The second day I fished with Joe Sancho. He went to a bank in the Cambell Point area where he had caught his limit the day before and worked it for most of the morning with a jerkbait . His keepers had left or were not going to bite so we went up the kings He said he did not practice up there and had not been up there in 5 years. He just picked some banks to fish and ended up catching 5 keepers with a jerkbait. The third day I got paired with Rick Clunn. The first thing I noticed about his boat was that it was dual console so no more 30 minute rides with my rain suit choking me. Gary Klein pulled up and told stories about the old days while we waited for the first flight to take off ( pretty awesome). Rick rotated 3 different banks all day first stop he had 2 keepers on his mid diving freak cranbait. He ended up catching one more keeper for the day, but he believed his fish were there they just would not bite. He threw crankbaits, jigs, jerkbaits, shakey heads and swimbaits. These guys fished every piece of cover they came across and changed up baits frequently

I paid on opening morning at 9 am, and they sent me an email about a month later saying i was in the tournament. I got a packet in the mail about 2 weeks ago saying CONGRATULATIONS YOUR CONFIRMED. This was all that I read of that letter, so thank you Sore Thumbs for making me realize I needed to send in the entry form!

I sent you a pm

motoman, have not tried the flip clips, but after your last post about them I looked them up and made my own out of small alligator clips and 3/4 oz weights. They seem to work pretty good for us last summer/ fall. When the fish are having bladder problems or are wounded, I keep adding clips until they set up straight. I belive that it calms the fish also. I had really good luck with mortality and it seemed as if our fish would swim off really well after release. The fish we were catching were coming out of 35-40, I do not know how well this works for fish deeper than that. I only tried this because I suck at sticking them with needles. Hope this helps ss

I have a 1978 lowe with a 50 horse merc. The boat is orange in color with indian designs down the sides (we call her the comanche). She's not the best looking gal out there but I'm proud to call her mine. I'm usually fishing from big creek to sweetwater if you see me out there say hello!

I have tried to fish a floating worm in the past with no luck. Does anybody know when this bite starts, or for that matter how to actually fish the thing?

I fished in kings river last Saturday and it was really starting to get dirty. I was wandering what the visability was up there aroud Viola/Sweetwater area??

what kind of areas are you fishing at night?

I have not done much cranking, trying to learn, are you using the RC's with rattles or without. I bought some with rattles, to me they seem really loud for the clear water. I just wanted to know if you thought it made a difference or not??

hey guys I am going to Texas next month and will be taking a guided fishing trip. I have never hired a guide before, and do not know the protocol on tipping. I'm just wandering how much your supposed to tip a guide and when to give it?? just don't want to feel like an idiot

Same Story here guys, I just assumed that I suck. I fished the SK area 2 keepers on grub at 40 over 80 nothing on crank or jerkbait when the wind picked up.

I've never done alot of cranking, but want to give it a try this year. I was wondering what type of crankbait I should be throwing, shad or crawdad colored, and how deep of water to focus on? I would be grateful for any help on this. thanks

Thanks whack'em!!

I'm fishing the meeks tourmament out of aunts creek wednesday and I have never been to that ramp before. How do I get there from branson west?

shell knob bridge wednesdays 7pm-11pm and cambell point fridays 7pm-1am

Anybody ever have one of those weeks were nothing goes right??? It all started Saturday evening when I was backing down the ramp. I hit the starter on my 50 HP and a click was all I got. We broke the motor down tapped on the starter and hit the key again low and behold she fired. Little did we know it would be the last time. We used the troling motor to get from spot to spot catching only small fish with a grub. I decided we would try to pull start the motor, so I cut a piece of my tow rope and after several body straining pulls it fired up. We stopped on a spot we have never fished before and the first fish we caught was 5#, caught four more keepers and lost two 3 + at the boat (lost count of the shorts). I ordered a stater on Sunday but we couldn't wait to go again so we went Tuesday evening. Man am I glad we did, we caught 2 good keepers on the grub then we went to hit our new spot. They were still there but this time they were smallmouth 4# being the biggest (AWESOME). We had 8 keepers and several shorts. So good we went back on Wednesday still no starter. I heard what I thought was a bearing sqeaking on the way down there. When we were taking the straps off I noticed hot black rubber everywere. Upon further inspection I seen my axle was cracked on one side and my wheel was leaning in getting into the fender well. We went ahead and put the boat in and when I put he trolling motor down and hit the power it slid back touching the botom of the boat. Just a loose screw but had to take the motor off the mount to get it put back togethter right. The fishing was still good but had slowed a little 5 keepers and a few shorts. When we were pulling the boat out of the water I heard a big POP and the boat shook, turned out that the threads on my tow hook popped off. Man what a week ! could have been alot worse but I had a great time just fishing!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. I just wanted to thank the guides and everyone else that posts info it is APPRECIATED

Hey guys I have not been fishing in 3 WEEKS. I'm planning a trip saturday night, just wondering if I need to be fishing the same depths at night as during the day?

Man I'm just flat addicted to that little tap tap!!!

I was reading some of the back logs on this forum and came across something about navionics paper maps for TR. I checked around and could not find any for TR. Does anybody know where I can get this map? or if I can?
