    Good advice ^^^^. I have not been out on TR in a few weeks, but next time out I may do some shallow square billing and throw a top water early and then go looking for deep water fish and try drop shotting and spoons for the deep fish if I find any. Pete Wenners always has some good tips: http://www.hookedonbass.com/FISHREPORT.htm

    Cool, good luck!

    Thankfully nothing serious at my house besides a few limbs down. Quite a few trees down, but they've done a good job of getting them cut up and off the roads. Did see a house near me that a tree had fallen on, there was already a roofing crew out there working on the roof. Storm woke me up about 11 PM, constant lightning flashes, howling winds, and it lasted for 20 minutes or so, power went out and was out for about 4 hours.

    Good to see you two get into them! I am a wuss, if there's lightning I am outta there. Had some pretty nasty stuff come through last night, quite a few trees down in the area, when it hit, about 11 PM, it was constant lightning flashes for about 20 minutes, wind was howling. Lost power for about 4 hours, but other than that it wasn't too bad. Sure would not want to be out on the water when something like that comes through.

    Vernon, I think we have discussed, several times, as to how your presence seems to attract rain. It's a nice day down here - please stay where you are.

    Here's something from AGFC. @Ham https://www.agfc.com/en/news/2019/08/23/land-donation-increases-future-opportunities-on-white-river/

    Can't get the link to work, but short story is 5 acres along the White river below lake Sequoyah was donated to AGFC.

    Great report! Good to hear Frank is still alive and well.

    Duane Doty is another option, I'd at least talk to Duane and see what his take is on fall fishing for walleye on the upper end of Bull.

    I use the EWG for C-rigs and T-rigs, but lately I have been using screw locks a lot to try and avoid the plastic pulled down to the hook bend situation on a bite. I do rig as shown in pic #1 on finesse worms.

    ell I just shot myself in the foot. My original lineup was Zaldain, Pipkens, Gustafson, Yelas, and Herren - I decided, after reading some "expert" advice, to switch out Zaldain, Pipkens, and Yelas for Herren, Combs and Hudnall. Zaldain is 1st Pipkens is 4th. After day 1 I could've had 3 of the top 4. It's early, but most of my guys, with the exception of Gustafson, are already significantly behind. Grrrrrrrrrr……….

    There's a certain dock in Beardsley that holds schools of jumbo sized largemouth year round. Pretty easy to catch, just cast a wacky rigged Senko near one of the dock cables and wait for the thump. However, one of the dock owners is a bit psycho. If he sees you anywhere near the dock, he'll throw rocks at you and make nasty comments about you and your family. There's also the rabid mink that inhabits that dock, sneaky little devil, you won't even know he's there until you feel him chewing on your ankle. PM OA member Abkeenan for GPS coordinates to the dock.

    I have had one knee replaced, before replacement it wasn't too bad and all of a sudden it got so bad I had to hold on to the wall for a minute when I got out of bed in the morning. I jacked around with the cortisone shots but looking back should've just gone with the replacement and got it over with. If you go that hyaluronic route it will be interesting to hear how it works out for you, just in case my other knee starts going south. Getting the knee replaced is not fun, but the pain during the rehab part was never as bad as it was before the replacement.

    Never seen one of those before. Looks like a punk style Preying Mantis with the pink coloration and the spikey back.
  16. Quillback
    Looks like we have another one this week, less than 3 days to get your lineup in.

    4 lbs. separate #1 from #10. Yelas is my last man standing.
  18. Quillback
    Kudos to the young man! That's doing pretty darn good for this time of year.

    I am trying to stay away from the Rock, too far to drive for only a few hours of morning fishing. So I'd rather not see a report like this as it will make me want to head over there. However sounds like it was a lot of fun!

    A guy I used to work with took an annual one week trip to Wisconsin with his brother to musky fish. If they caught three in a week they thought that was good. Catching 3 in a day is pretty cool.

    Just think how big it would look if you long armed it. 😀 Nice one!

    Feider either caught some good ones late or BassTrakk was off, but he is now my number one guy. Lots of guys within striking distance.
  23. Quillback
    Well I don't have either two of those guys in my lineup. And it's all about who I have. 😄 I do have Feider, and he is spinning out. Looks to me to be one of those tourneys where there's going to be a bunch of guys doing around 20 lbs. per day. If you have an 8 lb. day (Feider) it's going to be tough to overcome that deficit. Other 4 guys I have are doing OK. Harvey Horne, my Bella Vista homie, is doing well, I don't have him on my team because basically he hasn't done well at all this year, but hope he can hang in there and contend.

    Great Books

    Quillback replied to Blazerman's topic in Reading

    Been reading some Adrian Goldsworthy - he is a Roman historian and has written quite a few books on different subjects from that time. It's pretty readable, written more for the layman than other historians. And he does write some fiction, the Vindolanda series of which there are now 2 books with another due out soon. It follows the adventures of a Centurion named Ferox stationed in what in now England.

    I know where that is - nice place to live.
