Got out for a few hours, didn't start until 1030 as I waited for the temp to get above freezing. Fished until 3 PM. It was slow, caught a half dozen smallies on the Ned rig and a 3.3 swimbait. Fish were deep, out in 15-25 FOW. No one out there on a beautiful but cold Saturday, only saw 2 other boats. Saw more eagles than boats, great time to get out for the eagle watchers. WT 53-54

Sending out the bat signal for one of the species guys. ^^^

Charged with a misdemeanor, $250 fine. Or the judge may laugh and dismiss the charge.

Hopefully Eirc makes it to Taneyfest, and I get a chance to talk to him. Didn't see any pictues of arapaima, but that's another explosive top water fish. Watched a fishing show a few years ago where they went after arapaima, they really had to bushwhack to get back to where they were.

That looks awesome!

How was the food?

These early morning trips on Ozark back roads are hazardous. Going to Cape Fair a couple of days ago on MO HWY 90 and around a curve comes a dually pickup over the center line. Had enough room to dodge him, thankfully.

That's a cool trip. How long did it take to get there?
-
Nope, but looked it up and looks to be a neat place to visit if I am ever up that way. I have been to the exhibit at Dinosaur National Monument, which is a place I recommend to anyone who is out that way. It's a neat place, interesting geology, great place to go hiking. Pulled this pic off the web:

A historic (or perhaps more accurately, prehistoric) discovery was made just under the surface of a New York homeowners' lawn. A complete mastodon jaw was found in the backyard of a home in the Orange County town of Scotchtown, according to state officials. The jaw, along with additional bone fragments, was recovered by researchers from the New York State Museum and SUNY Orange, the state Education Department said in a press release Tuesday.

Not a crank was thrown.

That's some great fishing! I ate my first yellow bass this spring, was catching some white bass on Beaver and kept a few, then caught a 8 inch yeller and decided to give it a try. It was OK, about the same as the whites taste wise IMO. Interesting to see a white perch, used to catch them when I lived in Massachusetts. Didn't know they had made it out this way.

We saw a bunch of loons too - the birds, not crazy people. Thanks for the trip my friend, we'll get 'em next time!
-
Awesome, see you then!

OK, I am booked for a cabin and I have rented one of the G3 bass boats for Saturday and Sunday. Open seats for 2 people if anyone wants to fish with me. At 50% discount, heck I can stay at the cabin cheaper than staying at home. 😀

I'm getting my own place so I can exit before the couch tossing starts. I'm old, I like to go to bed early in peace and quiet. 😀

Yep, a bad day fishing beats a good day sitting in the house watching soap operas. 😀

Fished one day with an OA member that doesn't post here anymore and he threw a jerkbait probably 15 feet up into a tree that was on a steep rocky bank where there was no way we could get to it. He had to break it off. It was still up there a year later.

Didn't have time yesterday to tell yet another crazy early morning vehicle incident. Towing the boat on county road E, a few miles from the launch, it is around 0645, just getting light with heavy fog. Out of nowhere a pickup truck, with no headlights on, flies by, passing me in a no-passing zone. The road was going up a little hill so you can't see any oncoming traffic thus the no-passing deal. If someone had been coming over that hill, it would've been a bad head-on wreck. And to top it off, once over that little hill there is a straight away where you can pass.

Not much to report as I only caught 3 sub-legal bass and a 14" walleye. The spots that held them a couple of weeks ago are barren of fish. I know of some people getting them elsewhere on the lake, so they are biting, but not for me today.
-
Some awesome looking food!
-
Looks like they have stopped the drop. I thought they might once it got down to 915.

I've had the snap off happen a time or two in my life, and also the cast too far that ends up in a tree, and one of my favorites is tying a knot, go to cut off the tag end, make a mistake and cut the main line and then watch the lure drop into the lake a disappear in the depths - of course it never happens with a top water.
