There's a wind speed circular guage in the middle top. It does not update, you have to click refresh. I wonder if it is a location that is sheltered from wind, as it is showing E wind at 2MPH right now and I know from looking outisde the wind is blowing harder than that. I looked at it last evening and it showed wind speed of 8 out of the East, and again the winds were blowing harder yesterday evening.

That is a great link, yes pin it!

Maybe we'll have Arkansas vs Mizzou in the "Barely Qualifying Bowl". As far as local fan interest it would probably be one of the best bowl options available to these 2 teams. They could have it in Springfield - the Bass Pro Bowl! If these 2 played each other in a bowl I might watch it.

Petrino is available...$3 million a year, throw in a blond mistress, and he's yours. Heard a rumor that Kentucky is considering him.

I hate the prevent defence, all it does is prevent you from winning.

Great report, you guys did good considering the tough conditions.

Hit a good, but brief Wiggle Wart bite this morning, they were on a couple of breezy chunk rock banks, caught 10 on the Wart, biggest was a 17" smallie. Once the sun popped out the Wart bite dried up for me. Got a couple more on a t-rigged Senko and one on a paddletail. Nothing on the topwater, the blade, or the FB jig. Several of the fish had crayfish antennas sticking out of their throats, seems to be what they were feeding on today, didn't see much shad activity, but the shad could have been back in the coves as I fished main lake today and did not get back in the coves or creeks. Water temp 60-61.

Thanks Jeff for the info, I'm looking at the map and there does appear to be quite a bit of Game Production areas in the NE part of the state. I may take a drive up there next week, depends on the weather. Left a message for the local wildlife officer in Britton, I'd like to talk to him and see what he has to say.

Looks like a tough day, I watched the video of the weigh in for day 2 of the OMTT and most bags were 3-5 fish 7-10 lbs. total. They weren't saying much about what they were fishing, but shallow was where the fish were for the guys that talked. Winners had a 29 lb. bag and also had big fish at 7.02 lbs.

Wow, I find it tough to believe that, and I am assuming that you are talking about the Elite series event held on Bull last spring, the B.A.S.S. anglers would not buy a license. (Not that I don't believe you Bry) it just seems crazy any of those guys would risk a DQ for fishing without a license. Were you seeing these guys and talking to them during practice or during the tourney?

Too bad LSU did not pull off the upset, that would have really shook up the BCS standings.

What sized weightless plastics are you planning on tossing? Just asking, because some, for example Senkos, are relatively heavy. Are you looking at just a 6' rod? Dobyns rods makes several light action casting rods, but they are 7' minimum. You might want to check out the Dobyns Extreme 701DX and 702DX. If you shop the online Black Friday sales those rods will fall into about the price range of that IMX.

Thanks Jeff, did you hunt any of the WIHA areas around Aberdeen? Curious if they've all been cut like they were around Mobridge. I might go back to the northeast part of the state next week, but it depends on what shape the WIHA areas are in that part of the state. I'm going to call the regional offices to see what they have to say.

Several of the teams are doing well, but others not so well, these folks are pretty good local fishermen, using these results as a barometer it tells me the fishing is still tough. Anyone get their magazine "Respoolin"? Curious if it has good local fishing articles. http://www.respoolin.com/News/NewsText/99

A pic of a mean and a spot I caught on Table Rock a couple of days ago. It's also my understanding that a meanmouth is a cross between a smallie and a spot.

That's a good one!

They was ugly again last night. Offence is so predictable - 1st down, run the ball, 2nd and 3rd down pass.

Heck just bring the shootin' iron with you while you're fishing, I saw a nice 6 point buck hanging around his lady friend while fishing yesterday. Only problem was it was just about in someone's backyard. The fish are biting at Swepco, Jeb and I were over there today and did well, with a few 3-3.5 lb. fish, and a lot of 1-2 lb. fish. But it's crowded, parking lot was full, can't imagine what it is like on the weekend.

I launched from Big M about the same time you did Duck, must have been your outboard I heard over by Viney. I did OK today, could not get the dock jig bite going, nothing on topwater, but did get some on a t-rigged Senko, ended up with 9, 16" spot was the big fish, and a couple of 15" LM's. Very light biters, I missed more than I caught, they were biting like spawning fish moving a bait off their beds. But it was a heckuva nice day as far as weather.

It appears they are moving shallow, hopefully it's not a head fake.

The bite changed up a bit, did OK fishing jigs around docks and on topwaters. 17 total, a couple of keepers, mix of Spots, LM, a Meanmouth and a smallie. Could not get a jig bite on points or rocks, but they wanted it around docks, not all docks, but some. Most were on the shallow ends of the docks. Topwater fish were here and there, not a hot bite, but you can work the topwater and get fish. Saw some bass pinning bait against the banks, haven't seen that in while. Water went dead calm around 1 PM Got a double header on the topwater, 15" Meanie and a 13" Spot. Don't know if you guys know it, but you can enlarge photos by double clicking on them.

It was contemporary rock and roll type music so I wasn't worried, but if it had been organ music I might have been a little spooked.

The Lambs should not make any more trips to London. That was one ugly game for them.

LOL, don't give anyone ideas,,,
