  1. Found this out on face book Talk a about crazy big wakes. 2 wake boats working in tandem. What’s next https://www.facebook.com/groups/120559614677761/permalink/1717771914956515/
  2. Enjoy your retirement. Fishing is better than working 😊
  3. Hope your wife continues to improve. My wife has some health issues , it can be very trying, frustrating, and nerve wracking to watch them deal with it. Stay strong together.
  4. To brutal for me. You guys are die hards. Good day to watch a fishing show in front of the fire.
  5. Way to go. Nice Fish. Sure looks cold.
  6. Stay warm Crazy. We hit -14 here in Illinois and our power went out for hour and a half. Would hate to be the Com Ed guys last nite. Wind chill was -25 or 30. Happy New Year everyone.
  7. Thanks for all the responses. Most of us become whimpy as we get older it seems. Hope we get some warmer days in January and February so this Illinois guy can come try some winter fishing. Snowing here and 15 degrees. I also dislike winter more and more the older I get.
  8. Ok. We have ice on the ponds here in Illinois and I don’t ice fish. I was curious what everyone’s temperature limit is for venturing out on the lake. I’m around 45 degrees or higher. What’s yours.
  9. Had mine one season and no major issues.
  10. Nice boat. Looks like a lot of good times. Enjoy.
  11. It is tough out there. Had 1 spot on a drop shot KC area. Met a 2 guys at Mill Creek ramp they had 2 spots and 2 blue gill.
  12. Nice fish Bo. Thanks for reporting.
  13. Thanks guys. Same as Illinois. Just wanted to make sure.
  14. Hey guys. Bringing my nephew down with me. He is 14. At what age is a fishing license required.
  15. Nice fish Bo. Were the fish relating to gravel run outs or deeper creek cuts?
  16. Royal, Just smile when the 11 y/o does that. You got him hooked on the outdoors and a fishing/hunting partner for life.
  17. I'm ready to get out of Illinois. The weather has sucked all month. You guys are 20 degrees warmer than here. Looking forward to 10 days around Thanksgiving at the lake. Can't wait. By the way, nice fish!
  18. +1 2 weeks since last out and this weekends weather sucks in Illinois RAIN and COLD! Coming to see you guys the 21st.
  19. I fished 5 days last week and caught 20 with maybe 4 keepers. That is darn tuff. Hope its better in November when I come. Toughest I have seen it in several years. Good Luck!
  20. It's tough for sure. Kimberling area had 3 from 1-6pm. First time I have ever seen a boat on every bridge piling. Must be slow. Next week will be better I guarantee it I have to head home Sunday
  21. I feel your pain. Fished Friday Saturday and today. 15 fish. A couple keepers in that bunch. Pretty tough out there right now. Most on a drop shot and a couple on a whopper plopper.
  22. All you can do is go out, find a spot and catch some fish. If you are retired and live on the lake you can pick and choose your days. Otherwise just gotta fish when you can. See you all this weekend. Stay safe and enjoy your time on the water.
  23. Condo with lake view and access
  24. Headed home today. Been Fun. Got out Monday and fought the boats. Not much luck caught 1. Out Tuesday, wow what a difference very little boat traffic. Caught a dozen. Drop shot with a mauve (pink/purple) colored worm @ 20-25 ft. See you all in October.
  25. Went out 2-6 yesterday. Glad to be back on the big pond. Caught 6. All in the first hour then nothing. 5 on drop shot 1 on pop r schooler. Boat traffic was not to bad. Sitting in the condo watching the crazies today. Pork chops and chicken breasts on the grill tonite. Beautiful weather!!!
