Nice!

Nice quality slabs, congrats!

Thanks for the report, those are some quality spots!

Thanks for the reminder! Recording it now.

Thanks for the report, I wasn't out there, did some yard work today. But I bet there were a few boats on the lake today - what a gorgeous day!

Somebody must have read these comments about the Fish Arrows - out of stock, just one pack left! LOL!

That's a heck of a gill, I'd like to get about a dozen of those for the frying pan. I'm going to have to pick up some red worms and give it a shot.

Anyone know what he's getting paid at Tulsa? Seems a bit of a downgrade to me for a coach, going from Mizzou to Tulsa, but maybe he got a fat contract? He must have seen the writing on the wall. It just doesn't make sense from a resume building perspective.

Fished the morning, from about 0630 to 1:30 in the afternoon. The fish were hitting the jig pretty well early, mostly finding them on rocky banks in 5 -10 FOW. That bite died off later in the morning, but I was able to start picking them up on the Ned rig. Had another good numbers day, over 40 bass, but only 4 keeps. a lot of 12 - 15 inch fish. Caught a nice redear on the Ned, I might have to bring some red worms with me one of these days, I haven't fished for redears or bluegill on the Rock, but there must be a bunch in there. They have to be one of the most under fished species in that lake, you hardly ever see any serious bream fishermen. Water temps were 54 -57. Talked to a guy back at the ramp who said he had a good day fishing a jerk bait, lots of shorts with a few keeps also for him.

HAHA, good one!

If we throw in Wiggle Warts and Ned rig questions, we can probably get another 10 pages out of this thread.

Sorry to hear this, I can't believe the stuff people will steal these days.

Had another good numbers day today, caught over 40 bass, but maybe 8 keepers in the bunch. Also got a lone 19" walleye. Biggest fish was a 3.25 lb. smallie. The 3/8 oz GP/Orange jig with a twin tailed trailer was the best bait, got around 30 on the jig. Early in the afternoon, found a point 1/3 of the way back in a cove where the cove split in two that had some breeze on it. Did well on that point on a 3XD in orange belly craw- caught 8 or 9 there casting parallel to the bank and grinding it through the rocks. Picked up a handful on the Ned also. Saw water temp of 50 when I started out in the Big M area, moving up lake towards the Kings in some of the stained coves I saw 56 degrees in a few of them.

Thanks for the report. I was planning on going today, but decided to wait a day until this wind calms down. Tomorrow is forecast to be calm and cloudy - maybe that's what they want?

I have seen people fishing Swepco out of yaks, my dad and I used to fish it out of his canoe back in the 90's. If it's not too windy it's a great lake to fish out of a yak.

Nice bag of crappie!

Anybody fish these on The Rock? They look like they could catch fish, but are not being manufactured anymore. There are some on Ebay. Picture is a tad small, they resemble one of those Rebel craws.

Thanks for the report, and a nice pair of LM's!

Welcome!

If he's drafted early, he'll get paid well. 1st round picks get 4 year contracts at a minimum rate and a pro-rated bonus depending on where in the draft order they are picked. It's pretty much been locked in under the latest collective bargaining agreement. There is some flexibility in the bonus structure.

Nice fish!

If he goes to a Div II school and plays hard, practices hard, does well in school, in other words becomes a model citizen, he will have a shot at being an early draft choice.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing!

Good luck out there! Looking forward to hearing how you do, I may get out there tomorrow.

Man, I am wondering how many you would own if you LIKED to fish CB's!
