God Bless you all, stay safe, and enjoy your family

Fished out of Shell Knob this weekend, and had a mix bag of results. The large swing in weather and the wind did not make things easy. Water Temp: 63-65 Clarity: 6-8 feet We attempted to try all kinds of baits on Thursday to see what the fish wanted, and we found that they wanted slow and slower. Our best bite over the entire weekend was the boat in 35-50 feet of water throwing to the front corners of docks in the 1st 100yds of a cove. Most of our bites were in the 20-25 foot range. We focused our attention on jigs and c-rigs. I was throwing a 5/8 Pig Sticker football jig in green pumpkin and blue with a Paca Craw trailer in the same pattern. Jim threw a jig and the C-rig. The c-rig was a baby brush hog in the same color pattern. Most of the bites were solid, but we had to work for the bite. I think total we caught 30 fish in 3 days, and we had a 4lb LG, 3 lb SM, and 2-3 keeper SP. I am sure it has all changed by now, but Good luck and have a great Thanksgiving!

Glad to read this report, and know that you are back on the water

Received my baits! Thank you very much! God Bless and tight lines

I have learned through many things in my life that "close observation" is critical to learning something new. I have been blessed to fish with Babler on 3 occasions and I want him fishing with me because, I want to see exactly what he is doing. Then, I can replicate on my own. As the old saying goes, "imitation is the best form of flattery".

Man, those are some phenomenal options for TR! Can't go wrong if you can get a booking.

Contact Bill Babler at White River Outfitters...Been with him 3 times. Awesome trips!

I would put Ned in the search, and you will find a million dollars worth of information on here.

Wow! So jealous. But that is truly blessed fishery. Can not wait to get back down this summer.

Great Fish!!!!

Thank you to everyone that help put on the event. it is so much fun to put names to faces, and have some great fellowship. All the best this year, and see you all soon. dave

God be praised! Jim and I are looking forward to the weekend of Fishing and friendship!

Wow! Looking forward to this weekend! What will the rain do to the fishing?

Edyer...found the thread from 2010 about hooks. Evidently prices when up in 6 years. We were getting them $30 for 100 at lure parts. Dave

I use Death traps on my STXs.

I love the STX for the price too. They flat catch fish as well.

Jim and I are in! See you all in March

What a report! Thank you!

happy Birthday!!!

I have a low end lowrance that I would love to sell. It is black and white, but I was able to drop shot off of it before I could afford a color monitor. Let me know. Dave

I am down to 6 Falcon Caras. Much simpler.

I love that guy...breaks up the cold days pretty well...sit back and watch the chaos!

Great Day!
