Yeah buddy, I think I parked next to you. I got there at 9 AM, fished until almost 5 PM. The smallies are biting, I'll post some pics tomorrow, I am too beat right now.

And the lakes around here are so busy on a spring Saturday, I have never understood how fishing a tourney can be fun when you've gotta deal with so many other boats, crowded launches and everything that goes with being on a lake with so many other people. Fishing has always been to me a way to get away from the world. Now the world comes to the lakes. I am fortunate to be retired and not have only Saturdays to fish. That being said, there are still a lot of people out on the lakes during the week. Hard to predict the future of bass fishing, but there sure are a lot of youth tourneys. Pre-high school, high school and then college. Kids are accustomed to fishing out of fully rigged bass boats from age 12. What they see on a Saturday tournament morning is normal to them. It is so different than the way many of us older folks fished years ago when we were 12 years old. Hard to see it changing much in this area, things are booming here. Booms end of course, but the people are here and some of them will fish or boat out on the lakes.

I might see you out there, I'm waiting for the fog to clear and morning traffic to end and head out later this AM.

That's pretty neat to see those shad.

We did not catch any yesterday, but I am sure there are some around.

Nice bird Ryan!

The smallies are biting. Dutch and myself caught 60 today, maybe 4 of them were spots, but the rest smallies. Dutch, once again, had a couple of decent fish that I got to net. One of them looks to b a meanmouth. A lot of 12-15" fish, I think mostly males moving onto the banks. Ned rigs were the best bait, followed by 2.8 Keitechs. Some spots, especially back in Indian have a lot of floating wood. Did see a few stripers early blowing up by the boat. Had one take a swipe at the spook, he did not get it however. WT 60-62

That's awesome, congrats!

Thanks - I might go see it.

Looks like a big chunk of MO and Arkansas are under tornado watch. Front was stalled out over OK for a while but looks to be moving in.

I would like to get one, but I have to go see the film to make it right to wear it. 😃

Better get out before Pete gets there and sore lips them all. 😄

Do they sell T-shirts?

Good to see them letting that water out.

Yes sir, a little over 3 inches here. More on the way.

Weather forum - Good idea!

Netboy gave me this website: 24 Hour Rainfall Totals By Zip Code | RainDrop

Thanks, that's a good idea.

People now saying there was no fog.

Man, I like gills better as far as eating than crappie.

Hope it works out for you. I am clueless about stem cell therapy. Is it in lieu of a replacement?

Yeah they are out there. I've seen some pretty young drivers of wake boats and such too.
