Great fishing, thanks for sharing!

Great day Bill!

Went frogging a couple of times with my granddad, back when I was 10 or so. Went at night on the ditches in the MO Bootheel. He and a buddy would scull a john boat down those ditches, they were narrow enough you could gig frogs on both sides. I was too young to do anything but ride along, but it was fun for a 10 year old. They had those old smelly carbide headlamps to light up the frogs, you'd look for their eyes reflecting the light. And grandma knew how to fry those frog legs. Good stuff.

Fished from above Big M down to about point 23. Above Big M the water is fairly dingy, visibility maybe a foot or two, below it starts to clear up a bit, maybe 3-5 feet of viz. In the dirty water I caught fish on a Wiggle Wart and the Menace grub on a 3/8 oz wobble head. In the clearer water the Ned was working better. Stained water fish were better quality overall, caught 6 largemouth keepers on the Wart and Menace, mainly back in pockets and coves. Caught one smallie keeper on the Ned. 25 bass total. Worked the Wart and Menace fairly close to the bank on rocky shores. Ned was catching deeper fish, 10-20 FOW. Water temps 55-57

Excellent! Glad you got into them.

Maybe check and see if polarity is reversed if you haven't.

Richard Matheson wrote the short story, Steven Spielberg directed the movie. I googled it BTW.

Looks like it to me. And that was a "Made for TV" movie.

And you have these folks who are attempting to grow huge bass, feeding them giant prawns. https://www.bassmaster.com/tips/building-world-record-bass

Yep, they were fried tonight. Very tasty.

Fat spots for sure. Strong fish they are.

Fished for crappie today with Muddy Water, we fished from Viney to mouth of the Kings, trying several coves. We caught half a dozen in 6 hours of fishing, I expected to have to work for them, but was hoping for more than a half dozen. Nice fish, 12-13" and thick bodied, but not many of them. We caught them swimming small flukes on 1/16 oz Ned heads. We also caught about a few bass on the swimmer. We swam them from the bank back to the boat, seems most of our bites were in about 10 FOW. Saw water temps from 56 to almost 60.

Pretty good for a few hours of fishing.

Thanks for the report Nitro, it was a tough bite for sure, as Champ says though, it will get better.

Very nice!

Nice bag of crappie, I keep meaning to get out there and chase those things.

Some nice fish, that is one nice crappie!

I hope Dtrs doesn't talk as much as Lefebre, they couldn't get him off the stage. Jordan Lee for the win, I sure didn't see that coming, but congrats to him.

Hope all goes well in your recovery!

Very nice smallie!

We covered a lot of water today, didn't fish it all, but we saw a lot. Water was stained everywhere, with it being a light brown color further up the White at Stubblefield. I fished with RPS in his boat today. Lots of wood debris in the water from the rising water also. Lots of boats too. Fishing was on the slow side, we boated about 30 bass and one short walleye, all on the Ned. I think we had 2 keepers. Rps got big fish honors with one about 3 lbs. Fish were mostly right on the bank with a few out deeper. Water temps ranged from 54 to 58.

Thanks for the report. It is tough to get a good sized bass out of that lake.

There are some guys struggling for sure. KVD is making a run.

For sure give Bill a call, and if he Is booked he can probably find someone for you.

As a precedent, Danny Manning's father was hired as an assistant at KU the year before his son came there to play. This practice seems a trifle shady to me, but appears to be within the rules. At least Calipari didn't get his mitts on Porter.
