  1. I did spend quite a bit of time poking around to find the few that I found. To do it right, it would be good to bring a small shovel or trowel and something to screen the sand out.
  2. It's a neat place to fish, quite a bit of species diversity.
  3. Getting them on top is always fun!
  4. They are becoming my favorite for eating, a couple of weeks ago I fried some walleye and bluegills and I thought the bluegill was better than the walleye. To each his own of course, but I think these bluegill are very tasty.
  5. That's the place!
  6. Been dragging Keitechs around on Loch Lomond here in Bella Vista for bass. The bass are chasing shad mid-lake and I can usually pick a few up early in the AM. Was getting a bluegill or two, but was I was using a 3.3 Keitech on a 1/4 oz head and that was a little too big for them. Decided to go with a 2.8 on a 1/8 oz head today and put 8 nice gills in the boat which have been transformed into fillets in the freezer. They are out in the middle of the lake, eating small shad just like the bass.
  7. That's a good one! I have a couple of sharks teeth and what I believe is a tooth from some form of ancient hippo. Found them in Chesapeake bay. There's a state park in Maryland where you can hike about a mile to the shore where there are some clay bluffs that butt right up against the water at high tide. Shark's teeth and other stuff erodes out of the bluff - I spent about three hours looking to find these little teeth.
  8. I have some crinoids, just the stem part and some rings.
  9. Yeah I'd say last week of October too. Should be cold enough by then that you won't see many wake boats
  10. They are fine now, and I've been told the courtesy dock at Eagle Rock is useable once again.
  11. OK, probably not zebras, found these embedded in a chunk of limestone. From back in the day where the Ozark plateau was seabed. Rock is about 4 inches long.
  12. I'll tag rps so he sees this - he used to live in Holiday island and fished that area quite a bit. @rps
  13. I used to think the same thing, but bit the bullet and learned how to throw a bait caster. You'll bird nest less with a heavy weight as you can just lob it out there.
  14. Welcome to Ozark Anglers! I have no opinion on a heavy spinning rod for throwing weights up to 3 oz. I use bait cast gear for heavy weights.
  15. Yes he did do a lot of good with that charity and inspired a lot of people, but it went downhill once all the PED stuff came out. The guy lost a lot financially and also the potential for future endorsements. Something else, if he had not done the PED's then would he have won anything and would he have been a household name? Probably no one ever would've heard of him except for diehard bike racing fans.
  16. Welcome!
  17. Wheeler finished 2nd again on Erie today. Another $35K for him.
  18. You done good my friend - I was out a couple of times last week and didn't do anything worth mentioning, handful of short fish each time out.
  19. Yeah I was let down by Lance too, and I was also convinced that he wasn't doping and the French were going after him because he was beating them and they could not stand having an American win their tour. I haven't paid any attention to the tour since then and could not name the last winner. Lance's self justification was that everyone else was doping so he did it otherwise he could not have competed. I can understand that part, but when he went after Floyd with a lawsuit and publicly trashed people with his lies, that did it for me.
  20. Speaking of the Tour, did you see that 30 for 30 on Lance Armstrong? It was interesting.
  21. Corn fed carp - they have to be good to eat right? Make sure you keep one, put it on the grill and let us know how it turns out, I bet it's yummy! And I agree with Rick, 4# test maximum. And of course pics.
  22. I gave up on garage sales because I never see anything I want. Part of the problem around here is that people flock to the garage sales and if you don't get there right away the good stuff is gone. Neat score BTW.
  23. I had no idea. I'll keep that in mind if I ever sell it.
  24. Thanks for the tip, didn't even think of that.
  25. My running days are over, once you get a knee replacement that is it for running. But I can walk all day.
