Have any of you guys used or seen the alpha jig? I have been looking and debating on them and was wanting to hear a few opinions on them to see what everyone else thought.

Get some beaver style baits on a shakey head and get some pearl staycee pointers in the deep diver. also in the mornings take a bone colored spook and throw it in the stalls. also if you can find the small a-rigs throw those with the 4" grubs. That should help you get a limit every day.

Im not a guide. I took Joe out for a fun day on the water. I am very close with all my Field and Stream friends and always opt to take them fishing when they are in town, but when they are in town or they have their competitors in town and I cant go, I ALWAYS recommend the guides on here. All I can say is you gotta love those guys!

RPS, I don't know if this will help you any but my buddies went to Bull Shoals this weekend spear fishing and they killed their limit of walleye every day and they said they were in brush piles 21-28' deep. Said they had no problems finding fish if they could find the brush.

I know at Lake of the Ozarks you better have them. Its sort of aggravating to be using the same set up as the guy in the boat with you and he is catching them are you aren't, only to find out he was putting them on his jig. Took a few fish to figure out what he was doing different.

fishing brush piles or trees?

Riverfish- I run a black/blue stratos

Call mike at top gun marine! He is an awesome guy and a tournament fisherman that is about as honest as the day is long and will treat you right! Mike is in NIxa- 725-1887

I was up by blunk last night and caught a few. I have been catching them slowly but surely every time but not in the numbers like last year. Water temps last night for me was 58*. The sows that I cleaned were full of eggs and the eggs were bloody. I def think that the current might have a little to do with it as well. A little running water never hurts!

I was up there last night and caught a good limit of white. Saw a guy try to swing an 8 lb+ eye into the boat and that didn't pan out for him Caught a few short eyes and a bunch of whites around McCord bend. The water temp was 60 when we put in and 58 when we got up in the river. The bite hasn't really turned full force yet but by this weekend it will be rocking. Swimming minnows, pearl sliders and olive back rapalas are what did the trick last night. Saturday we had 26" walleye in the same spot but no big females this trip. I will be out again Friday night and Saturday night in a black/blue stratos with a 225 pro xs. if you see me give me a shout

Anybody been on the river to see if its still muddy/stained after the rains?

Fished last night in swan and caught one little male white and 3 keeper largemouths at the bluffs

Swan is right there where you put in at river run isn't it?

How far up from Cape Fair are they?

I fished yesterday around prairie creek and coose creek for stripers and bass and had a tough day. Caught 3 stripers between 17-26lbs and was the only three bites we had. Caught them all on the a-rig. Fished for bass for a little bit and only managed three keepers as well. Caught 2 monster whites in front of the marina at prairie creek that were both pushing 3 lbs+. Couldn't get bit on a jerk bait or a jig for bass.
