Typically it is Hold my beer and watch this....

Probably used to "Entertain" clients.

Not sure how would you know that Doug.

They on the KC side of the lake or the Spfld side?

Apparently the boat ramp at Johnson Brothers Marina has been torn out and thus un-useable. Anyone know of a useable close ramp? Will gladly pay to launch and load. Wigwam is a pretty fair poke.

I used to be amazed that wherever the Pros went at whatever time of year they flat caught fish. I was in awe of their knowledge and abilities. Then I came to find out that they hired guides, and had locals doing their footwork for them. Basically found out the truth about the Pros. I was no longer in awe. The ability to find fish or be led to fish is still the key to tourney angling. Not once in all the years I have watched tourneys has anyone ever thanked their guides or the locals that put them on fish. Instead they "peacock" and make it all about them. Now they have FFS to find their fish. Probably end up like wrestling and have everything staged.

Got one you can have if you want it.

Plan which ramps to use and areas of the lake to fish based on the predicted winds. Areas on Stockton can get up and ugly in no time.

Great to dunk in a bowl of clam chowder.

Hard to beat a good slice of sourdough bread

Is what you refer to as rock snot the same as cold water algae? Always thought it was related to water temp.

How did the catch/prove Blevins and Blevins were cheating? If they still allowed them to fish after banning them that is on AIA. One would think that their entries would drop do to it being operated like a clown show.

I've only gotten the hair on flouro when a guide insert has been split or missing.

That is a dandy.

Folks will hate sunrise at 8:30 in the morning during the winter. Be a bunch of depressed folks driving to work.

I updated my adblockers and reloaded the web page and it is back to normal.

I enjoy other folks catching fish. I've backed the boat up so they can get a better angle. I would not fish with him again. A knock upside the head with a 1 ounce Carolina sinker might do him good. Otherwise I'd have had him take m back to my vehicle.

I've not had to deal with ads on this site through last Friday. Now they are everywhere. Top of the page and between every couple of topics. What a mess. Now the site is slow to load and a hassle to read as more crap keeps popping up. How do I get rid of these stupid ads? My enjoyment of this site is way down with the ad problem.

Tear the skirt of and the 5 inch Chompers version makes a good "scented" bladed jig trailer

Wrench knows his stuff. At least about outboards.

Amazing what it costs to fuel someone's ego.

I know of a guy that hung a jerkbait in some brush out in a pond. Gave it the old heave-ho and the bait was headed his way. Seven of the nine points buried in his ear.

A buddy's Dad went out to fish at TableRock one year. They got to their first spot and his Dad picked up a spinning rod and fired out a long cast. Went to start the retrieve and no handle. Someone had stolen all the handles off his spinning reels.

Cold and blowing snow all day. Perfect for a batch of chicken and dumplings. May start cooking the chicken and making broth about noon. House will be smelling good.

Anytime you can see the fish and how it reacts to your bait and presentation is a huge advantage. Not only have you verified the presence of the fish, but you are also able to change presentations and/or lures to make it bite. Deepwater sight fishing that technology will make even easier. Takes a lot of uncertainties out of catching a fish. Will make tourneys even more of a rich man's game. Most non-pro derbies are fueled by ego and a need to gamble/compete as the vast majority of these folks do nothing but lose money.
