  1. The blight is a bad deal, It's usually a problem for me this time of year, but for whatever reason it hasn't been bad this year. Squirrels have been my biggest problem, but they seem to have found food in the woods now so they haven't been stealing my tomatoes lately.
  2. There's gotta be some big blues in Beaver, AGFC has been stocking them for quite a while. I used to drift fish for blues over at Grand Lake. Net some shad (sometimes netting shad can be tougher than catching cats). I would use bottom walker walleye type sinkers, have about 3 feet of leader and drift along slowly maintaining contact with the bottom, with a whole shad or shad chunk. Usually good for 8 -10 blues on Grand on a good day. Grand, however, has a very healthy blue population.
  3. Wiggle Wart is a unanimous winner!
  4. Very nice looking boat. Front deck on a 921 is big enough to hold a square dance on.
  5. Thanks for the report, I've been wondering if the afternoon bite is better than the AM bite.
  6. I can't remember the details, but there was quite a bit of damage. There was a habitat restoration project in 2009/2010.
  7. Here's another shot, he just would not let me get in front. Heckuva nice day.
  8. BTW, my comment on it being a "steal" was tongue in cheek. It's probably a good bait, but there are cheaper alternatives.
  9. If you've never been to Basspro in Springfield, it's worth a trip, just leave the credit card at home. If you can deal with the 2 hour drive from Branson, we have the Crystal Bridge art museum here in Bentonville. Entrance is free and it's a great museum from what I hear.
  10. They did quite a bit on the White below Beaver dam a few years ago. Floods really blew it out.
  11. New bait from Strike King, runs in that 8 - 10 foot range. No craw colors however. Just wondering if it will work during Wiggle Wart season. Need the opinion of you crankers out there. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Strike_King_KVD_HC_Flat_Side_Crankbait/descpage-SKKVDFS.html
  12. At $20.99 it's a steal! http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Megabass_Shading_X_75_SP/descpage-MBSX75.html
  13. Shut out last night, the bats have gone cold.
  14. Great report, and glad to see the charity event went well.
  15. Squash bugs destroyed my winter squash, cukes look like crap, but I was getting sick of them anyway. But, tomatoes are doing pretty well, a few have swelled and split, but, with a few exceptions the vines are still healthy. Getting a lot of cherry tomatoes and a few "Bush Giants".
  16. Last week, I was heading to Big M going through the Mark Twain forest on HY 112 at O-Dark-Thirty from the direction of Seligman, Had about a 2 second glimpse of a buck off to the side of the road back in the bushes a bit. He also had a pretty tall rack and somewhere between 6-8 points. I bet he's one wily deer as that area gets hunted pretty hard.
  17. Thanks for the compliments on the pics, I was worried they would not come out well, the sun was very bright and behind me, so I could not get a good sight picture on the camera. I was by myself, so I as I was idling along I had to steer with one hand and take the shots with the other. And that deer was swimming fast.
  18. Thanks for the video, look like some fish fry makings.
  19. I'd buy one of these STX's also and compare it to the Megabass if you buy one.
  20. Welcome!
  21. Yep a deer, when I first saw it I thought it was some brush floating in the channel.
  22. Got off to a good start, then things quickly went south. Caught a couple on a point on a creature, picked up 3 nice keeper LM off a back corner of a boat dock on a jig, and then spent the rest of the morning trying to find a deep bite. Could not find the deep fish, fished several points that usually hold fish and just picked up a couple of shorts. Saw this guy swimming across the channel. These dudes can swim surprisingly fast.
  23. Dang Bill, a 7lber in August during the day, that's pretty darned awesome.
