You could also fish the OA One Bass Virtual tournament too. You could win a boat from the Big Bass Tour and a plaque from OA!

Send Phil a PM describing your problem - I haven't heard of anyone else with this issue myself. Are you using a computer or a handheld?

Same for me, best guy is at 33. Got Keith Combs at 78 and Harvey Horne at 77.

Yeah it is hard to figure this stuff out - last tourney I picked a couple of guys from Michigan thinking they would have St. Clair down, well they didn't. I'm so far behind that I swung for the fences on this one and picked less popular guys rather than the highly favored ones, at this point I have nothing to lose.

Got out at daylight today and threw the buzzer all morning. Caught 2 keepers, neither anything special, and 3 shorts. Lost another keeper smalls that jumped 3 feet in the air and tossed the buzzer. Probably had 8-10 swirls and pops that missed the bait or barely grabbed it. Certainly not hot action but enough to keep me fishing the buzzer up until 11 AM. Fish were all probably within 15 feet of the bank, usually around rocky stuff. There were some out in the channel chasing shad but could not interest them in the buzzer. Threw a squarebill for just a bit and only caught a couple of micro-dink bass on it. Saw water temps between 71 and 74.

No need to apologize, welcome and good luck!

Walking across the top of one of the dams on a local lake, dam runs east-west, had a pretty stiff wind blowing out of the west/northwest, probably 20 MPH or so. Saw maybe 8 or 9 monarchs come over the dam from the north and then fly south directly across the lake. You wonder how they can fly across a 20 MPH wind and hold a straight course but they do.

Interesting too that they are seeing rainbows that looked to be naturally spawned.

I need to fish it more, bit of a drive for me and it's all on I-49 through the traffic. AGFC has stocked walleye fingerlings in there, they were doing about 5,000 per year. Probably not a lot of them have survived into adulthood, but there could be some good ones in there.

Should be a pinned thread above with dates and rules, but dates are from 10/30 5 PM to 11/2 8 AM (CT).

I'll post this one for Ham of a nice redear he caught.

Reply to this thread with something along the lines of "I am in". Entry fee is a donation to a charity of your choice and any amount you choose.

Ok, have set it up for the weekend of the 31st of October.

This tournament shall run from 5 PM CT on October 30th to 8 AM CT of November 2nd. Same rules as tourney number 2. New Rule - I will create a sign up sheet in this forum. You must sign up prior to the tournament start time (5 PM on October 30). As a condition of signing up, we ask for a donation to a charity, in any amount you wish to donate. We have a virtual tourney where you take photo of your bass on a ruler and in short, the longest bass wins. Has to be a black bass, smallmouth, largemouth, spotted bass or a hybrid of these species. I'll open up a thread in this forum where you can submit photos. Make sure you get the full-length of the bass on a ruler. Make sure it's a good photo so the length on the ruler is readable in the photo. Starts Friday at 5 PM Central Time, October 30 and runs until 8 AM Central, November 2 which is a Monday. Photos must be submitted in that time frame in the thread I will open in the Fishing Events Forum. By accepting to participate you agree to be upstanding and honorable in your submission of the picture. Fish must be caught in public waters On photos submitted you must specify body of water, so we can verify that it is a public water. If it is something that you need to keep secret, then we'll accept a PM the judges attesting that it was caught in a waterway open to the public. Gradiations on the ruler must be visible in the photo, and the ruler must cover the entire length of the fish. Also state the length of the fish along with the photo. We will start a thread in this forum before 5 PM on Friday the October 30. In that thread we will specify a number, that number must be included (written on a piece of paper) in the photo of your fish. Also we will start of thread for submission of photos. Artificial lures only. Fish must be live when photographed. Participation is limited to OA members or their spouses and children. Should we have a tie, we'll have a 3 person panel make the call.

When they bought Norman that was the death knell of the green pumpkin and watermelon colors I like on Deep Little N's.

I have been checked twice at Table Rock, once a the ramp and another time out on the water. Kind of boring, they ask to see my license, I show it to them, and they leave. They haven't even looked in the live wells. Still have yet to be checked in Arkansas - I've seen the wardens out on the road, but have yet to be checked. They have a somewhat beat up bass boat they work out of and you wouldn't notice it is them from a distance. However to Al's point, it would seem to me that a more visible presence would help deter people from making game violations.

Nice smalls buddy! Haven't caught a good one myself in a while.

Saw this today, what a coincidence!

Several teams did really well, but overall looks like it was tough fishing. Didn't print the 2nd page of results, not a lot of fish weighed once you get past 40th place.

Well I am thinking weekend of the 31st of October. Was waiting to see if there was any interest in having another one.

The deceased will no doubt have a toxicology report done by the coroner.

Couple of goats on one of the overpasses on I-49 south of Fayetteville. News says they were 'euthanized'. Too bad, AGFC missed out on a chance to make some revenue issuing goat permits.

It was cold and foggy this morning, 52 degrees when I launched. Fishing on this lake continued to be tough for me, caught one keeper and a couple of shorts on a squarebill. I stubbornly stuck with the squarebill all morning, covered a lot of water with the bites being few and far between. Still some scattered fish chasing small shad out in the channel. Quite a few small shad up on the banks too, but I'm not seeing any bass on the banks chasing them.
