Good stuff, glad to see the fish are biting and the geese are dying!

Watched the first half of the Razorgirls vs A&M game, don't know why I bother, once again they are living down to my expectations. They were actually up at one point 10-7, but when I saw one of the pigettes "defenders" bounce off the A&M QB on an attempted tackle, I started getting worried. The next thing I know they're down 27-10. Maybe the guy who gets paid to act like a coach can fire up the team with an inspirational speech and they can come back and make a game out of it (yeah right). With 3 minutes to go the piglets got a ruling in their favor and had a 4th down and three at the 47 yard line, the guy who pretends he's a coach, elected to punt. Should've gone for it, it would be risky, but you're down 20-10 at that point and you need to turn things around. There's no doubt in my mind Petrino would have gone for it.

Thanks folks,that gives me some places to look at.

Nice fish, thanks for the report, I love catching them on jigs!

Thanks RPS, I have stayed at Gaston's before on a trout fishing trip, nice place, but I'm hoping to get something more mid-lake. Found some places using Google, but it's always good to get some recommendations.

I'm thinking of making an Ocotober trip to Bull. Looking for info on a place to stay near or on the lake. I would be bringing my boat, so a place that has a dock (with electricity ot re-charge batteries) or if no dock, relatively close to a public ramp (with launching dock). Also needs to be pet-friendly as I'll be bringing my dog.

Yes reports are good. I have not been out on Beaver in a while, but when I do get out there, I'll leave a report.

Glad to hear you got into them, I guess that fish that you caught twice is a sucker for Roadrunners!

It's definitely a flawed product with the replacement refs. But as long as fans fill the stadiums and watch the games on TV, the owners have no reason to settle with the refs. But, I have to think they'll resolve this soon, imagine a Super Bowl with these replacement refs - that could be ugly.

Thanks for the report, interesting reading. A tourney with 3,000 anglers, wow, lake might be a tad crowded that weekend.

Pigsticker makes jigs, here's a link to their site: http://www.pigstickerbait.com/index.html

Nice smallie! Thanks for the report.

Yeah but you've got to spend your money wisely, if you don't, you end up having a season like Arkansas. Too bad for you Mizzou guys that you don't get to play the Razorgirls this year.

Nothing like walking into your house and getting a lungful off DDT, but I guess it beats getting malaria.

I've fished with several guides in the Pacific Northwest for salmon and steelhead, and the good ones are like Bill. The boat's clean and organized, the rods are rigged are ready to go, and when you get to the spot you start fishing. Nothing worse than a guide that starts off the day rigging rods and rooting around the boat looking for hooks or whatnot.

Started off really slow, threw some topwaters, jigs, and squarebills and got zilch on that stuff. Wind started picking up later in the morning, so I worked windy banks with a spinner bait, got 2 doing that, one was a nice meanmouth around keeper size. Whitecaps were rolling over a couple of my go to Drop shot spots, so didn't try those spots, but on the way back to the dock I decided to graph a gravel cove mouth that I had tried a couple of times in the past but never had any luck on. Spotted some shad balls in 20-25 FOW, so got out the drop shot and had a decent bite, landing maybe 10, one nice 16" spot, the rest 10-12" fish. Broke off a good 2 lb or so fish at the boat, and had one swim off pulling drag that came unpinned so seemed to be some nicer fish in the area. All were really light biters, probably had another 10 or so that came off. Water temps 74-75. Lots of shad and minnows out there, on the banks, in the coves, in the backs of coves, around docks, and out in the deep water. Seems they are everywhere. But really saw hardly any bass chasing them.

It's the home of the Green Lantern.

This topic could open a can of worms... Personally I don't see either one of them as being a strong advocate for sportsmen.

Excellent, thanks for the report! I might be out there Wednesday myself.

Thanks for the report, glad to see you folks got into them.

Sounds like some good fishing out there, I hope I can get out later this week.

Cloudy, cool, light wind - looks like a good morning for topwaters, anyone throw them this morning? I can't get out today, but it sure looks good for fishing.

At this point, I don't like the odds. If the guy gets out then look out wife #5. Hard to believe that the dude can find another gal willing to get hitched, but he'll find one. Take out a big life insurance policy on her.

I didn't think things could get any worse, then I saw this video...

I'm on the shelf right now and can't get out, but yesterday I was thinking that with the front moving in and the bluebird skies it would be tough out there.
