I don't think it has anything to do with popularity, profits for sure. Or economics and providing electricity, food and transportation to the worlds population. Here's what the folks at MIT are predicting: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/02/mit-energy-report_n_5923372.html

Huge win!

It was a split as far as numbers between the jig and the drop shot.

Well big weather change coming for the next few days, I'm hoping it will shake them up.

I guess we should start thinking about how many days/nights we are going to be there. We could rent it out Thursday/Friday/Saturday nights, that way we would have all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to fish. Or just Friday and Saturday nights.

I hate it when that happens!

LOL, Smith is at best average. He does well if he doesn't have to throw it more that 20 yards downfield. He's a "game manager" QB. Chiefs can certainly win with Smith or any average QB, at least in the regular season.

Started off as another flat, sunny morning, wind picked up about 11 AM. Never really found a hot spot, picked up some on the drop shot and some on the jig. Drop shot fish were in 20-40 FOW and the best bite for the jig fish was on rocky points with a breeze. Caught about 20 total. Tried cranks and the spinner bait for a bit, no bites for me on the fast baits. Water temp 77.

Sweet!

Man, I don't know what "lasterate you doot" means, but is sounds painful.

Wow, what a game! Didn't see it all as it went past my bedtime, but who would've expected a 9-8 game?

The Chiefs certainly looked good, they have flashes of brilliance, but you never know what team will show up next game.

Nice!

Hmmmm, inline spinner, I need to throw one more often. My earliest bass memories are of catching bass on a Shyster.

Yeah I agree, I would think they'll be in Table Rock and Beaver before long.

Yes they are known to be in there. http://www.krzk.com/15079/zebra_mussels_found_in_bull_shoals_lake_and_taneycomo.html

Good deal!

I know what you mean, once in a blue moon when I am fortunate to hook a 3lb. smallie, if it doesn't jump and give itself away, I always think I have a 6lb. LM on.

Very nice, love to see those smallies!

Then what do you propose we do?

Not much "we" can do. We can do some feel good stuff and continue the research to find green technology that can replace carbon as an energy source. But the scientific consensus at this point is that if there are negative consequences to the carbon that is in the atmosphere, it is inevitable that we will suffer those consequences. The Chinese stated at the recent UN climate change conference that they will not sign on to anything at the 2015 meeting unless they are allowed to "temporarily" increase carbon emissions. Brazil has also indicated that they will not slow down the clearing of their rain forest. So we can continue to make minor incremental gains in carbon emission here in the US, and hamstring out economy, but it will be for naught. Global human population continues to increase - that's another issue that is completely left out of this debate.

Let's hope Big Game pitches well, I doubt Lester will give up many runs.

Good stuff!

Thanks for sharing, those are some quality fish! What did you use to catch them (if it is secret, I understand). I have to make it up there one of these days.

Well KC gets to host the A's. Pulled this from HBT: The Royals will host the Athletics on Tuesday at 8:07 PM ET. James Shields is slated to start for the Royals opposite Jon Lester for the Athletics. Should be a good one. The winner of the AL Wild Card game moves on to face the Angels in the ALDS, which starts on Thursday.
