I see this team as a big question mark. I definitely have concerns about Alex Smith, but I'm hoping Reid can at least make him a good "game manager" type QB. It's possible Reid can turn Jaamal Charles into the KC version of LeSean McCoy, There are some weapons on offence, just need a QB that can get the ball to them and not turn the ball over. KC's D is decent. Also have to hope Smith doesn't get hurt or stink really bad, because there's nothing backing him up. Looking at the schedule I see 7 winnable games against the likes of the Jags, Browns, Oakland (twice). But they'll probably lose 2 of those games at least, the remaining 9 against tough opponents, maybe they'll win 2 of those - so I have them for 7 wins. If Smith gets hurt or stinks, who knows? We could be looking at another 2 win season. Might be better for the future if they tank again next year, maybe there will be a "franchise" QB available in the 2014 draft. KC needs to get that franchise QB to build around. I hope Smith can be the guy, but I have doubts.

Welcome!

I just look at rocks in he water and make a guess

This is just an approximation, but down lake from Big M a couple of miles it's 8 -10 feet, up lake (or up the White) it's less, maybe 6 feet. Haven't been up past Eagle Rock.

I hear you, come on October! Speaking of loud music, a pontoon boat cruised by me about 10 AM, 200 or so yards away, playing some Stevie Ray Vaughan, it was loud and clear even at the distance I was from him. Good sound system apparently. I like Stevie Ray, but not at 10 AM when I'm trying to fish.

Thanks for the report, great to see some bass being caught!

The day started off with a really good Largemouth bite. They bit well until about 0930 on the jig. I was using War Eagle heavy finesse jigs in 3/8 oz. GP and orange, or what they call "Pond Scum Perch" were good colors. Chunk rock banks and docks were putting out fish. Got around a dozen LM's on the early bite with 9 or 10 being keepers, biggest 3 lbs. After 0930 things really slowed down, picked up 4 or 5 sublegal spots, and a couple of smallies with one being a decent keeper - again all on the jig. I believe the relatively cool weather and the rain has gotten the LM's stirred up, I'm hoping with rain in the forecast for tomorrow and a few more cool days his bite will continue. Surface temp was 82 early, warming to 84 when I left. Lots of pleasure craft again today, maybe I don't remember last year too well, but it seems there's a lot more boats out there this year. Did not fish off the points or try a drop shot, but saw several boats doing that so I'm assuming that bite is also working.

Canoeboy - Here's a thread that discusses the drop shot. Bill's post midway through the thread tells it all.

I doubt the activities will ever stop.

Welcome!

Congrats!

If I'm reading this data correctly, ,they generated from 4 - 7 PM. http://www.swl-wc.usace.army.mil/pages/data/tabular/htm/beaver.htm

I would not wear an A&M shirt if you paid me.

That's a good one, I have to store it in my memory banks.

The game is Sept. 14th BTW.

I'm looking forward to the A&M vs Alabama matchup this year, you know Saban has that one circled on his calendar.

They make a spawning run up from Table Rock, how far they move up and down the White river channel is a good question. Arkansas gets it's brood stock from the walleye that run up the White from Table Rock. Most of the fingerlings generated from these fish are released into Beaver lake, but some go back into the White below Beaver dam and some are released into the Kings. Bfishin put together a good post on the whole walleye reproduction story as it pertains to Beaver and Table Rock, you might be able to find it if you do a little searching.

Wow, those are some impressive bags, thanks for sharing.

I've had Canadian pike also, along side walleye and yellow perch. The pike were the best, but bonier than all get out.

Johnny is an anti-Tebow, a bad boy compared to the Tebow good boy.

HAHA

Absolutely, someone starts shooting I'm outta there. They should have left when they saw the guy had a gun in his hand.

Thanks for the tip, Riverfish.,

I wanted to go this morning, but T-storms kept me home. Maybe tomorrow.
