I almost dragged the boat over to TR today. AT 1015 AM CDT... SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE LOCATED ALONG A LINE EXTENDING FROM CRANE TO SELIGMAN... AND MOVING EAST AT 25 MPH. HAZARD... 60 MPH WIND GUSTS. SOURCE... RADAR INDICATED. IMPACT... EXPECT DAMAGE TO ROOFS... SIDING AND TREES. * LOCATIONS IMPACTED INCLUDE... BRANSON WEST... CRANE... GALENA... INDIAN POINT... KIMBERLING CITY... REEDS SPRING AND SELIGMAN. THIS WARNING ALSO INCLUDES ROARING RIVER STATE PARK AND TABLE ROCK LAKE. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... FOR YOUR PROTECTION MOVE TO AN INTERIOR ROOM ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF A BUILDING. IF ON OR NEAR TABLE ROCK LAKE... GET AWAY FROM THE WATER AND MOVE TO SHELTER. IF YOU CAN HEAR THUNDER... YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. BOATS CAN BE SWAMPED BY LARGE CAPSIZING WAVES... EVEN ON SMALL BODIES OF WATER. MOVE INTO DOCK AND SEEK SAFE SHELTER NOW.

Kelly just got sent to the minors to join Allen Craig. What a bust of a trade for the Bosox.

Looking at the graph, it looks like they generated for a while yesterday afternoon and haven't since then.

That is really weird, sounds like meth users that were very tweaked.

Well if we have another OA One Bass tourney next March, and as of now I think we will, I don't think you'll see any fall out from these discussions. People on this site are pretty good folks once you meet them in person and I really doubt (and hope) anyone will carry over any hard feelings. Some of the folks on here that have had the strongest things to say are actually some of the best people you will ever meet.

I wonder how long those generators will be down?

Zoom Ol' Monster in Plum is one of my favorites.

You should be fine in a yak, with all the trees in that lake, I can't imagine there will be any skiers or other wake generators out there.

Some very nice OK fish!

You covered some water. Sounds fairly dirty down by point 23.

Carbonated, that is interesting.

20 yards is pretty bad. But you're right, best just to leave. If it's any consolation, they are probably lousy fishermen and incapable of finding fish, that's why they pulled in on you. Competent fishermen don't do that stuff.

Yep, a crappie. That pond may be stuffed with them if it doesn't get any pressure. Maybe try slow reeling a white crappie jig a couple of feet under a small cork. That is if you want to target them.

I am already looking forward to the game!

Dolly's are a neat fish. They always were a bit under appreciated.

Sounds tough, at least for catching keepers. Thanks for the update.

Has to be some reel repair places that can fix them. Seems a shame to toss them, outside of the binding issue, they are a great reel.

That is some great trout fishing. How about Dolly Varden, see any of them there or is it mainly rainbows?

Yo-yo effect with the water levels must have the fish messed up.

Some real blow-ups.

The creativity of the human brain amazes me at times. You sir, are the Edison of the fishing world. Who else could have thought of this?

Corps is predicting a peak at 923 today, just keep that in mind as if you launch anytime soon, the water may be up a foot and a half by the time you come back, from where you launched.

I met Jim once, at the OA One fish tournament. He cam up to me, introduced himself, and we had a good conversation. I could tell that he was a good man. I am truly saddened to hear this.

Good stuff, thanks for the report.

Did I hear Spy Baits? We talked a bit about those last year, but haven't heard much since then. I caught a few on them last year when the fish were up top chasing bait, but haven't had much luck on suspenders with them.
