That is some good fishing!

Good luck, I hope you and the kiddo do well.

A few years ago I watched a fishing show that was basically a HS tourney. They were all fishing out of fiberglass bass boats.

There's a high school tourney at Table Rock in early April, 250 boats in the regatta permit. I think it falls under the MLF umbrella. Sure would be interesting to know how many of those kids will be in FFS equipped boats.

Watched some of the Elite coverage at Fork last weekend. Young scopers are dominating. I believe 6 of the top finishers were rookies. Old school guys like Christie, Swindle, and Iaconelli are not even making the cut. The winner, Trey McKinney, all of 19 years old, had 130 lbs. over 4 days. These weren't deep fish they were scoping, mainly fish around trees in 10-15 FOW. A lot were caught on jerkbaits. I have no plans to get FFS, having fun fishing the way I do. And that is what it is all about for me.

Seems more like mid-April than it does early March. Another warm day, surface water temps were 51-53. Bites were scattered today and the bites I could get were shallow. Caught several in 5 feet or less, I don't think that I caught anything out past 15 feet. Jigs and the Ned rig was what i caught them on. They are thumping the jig, always a lot of fun to catch them on a jig. Caught 15 bass, 4 were keepers. Didn't see any of that cedar pollen today, just one old boy burning the ground in the woods behind his house.

Good stuff! Glad to see you guys didn't starve. -
It was so windy today, the National Weather Service issued a small craft advisory for the local golf course ponds.

She did have a very tough and tragic life. However her son Quanah Parker turned out to be a very respected individual.

Thanks, I will have to read up on that, I like Old West history.

I've always considered the Sons of Katie Elder to be my favorite Wayne movie. Dean Martin, Dennis Hopper, and Geroge Kennedy in it too. Most leading men are short these days, Wayne would be a giant among them.

Watching the Elites on Fork today, it's all scoping at least for the leaders. However, they are relatively shallow, 15 feet to 5 feet and they are throwing jerk baits. FFS isn't going away for bass fishing unless the tourney fishermen refuse to fish FFS tourneys and the tourneys themselves ban it.

There is a bait shop at the corner of HWY 76 and 173 in Cape Fair. It is called Catch Them All. Dunno about hours or whether or not they have minnows, but I bet they do. Do a search on Catch em all bait and tackle for their Facebook page which has their phone number.

Weird tourney, not one of us over 1000 points so far. In the overall standings against the world. I moved up. -

April 5th the show comes to Table Rock. Also happens to be a MLF college event going on that same weekend. Drivers, man your scopes!
-
It will be interesting to see how it plays out on Fork starting today. Supposedly there are some bedding fish.

This is not the end of the march of bass fishing technology. You know there will be upgrades. Maybe a wider band transducer, better image resolution. Watching the pros last week where it was showing their screens, they find isolated fish that they were unsure if it was a bass or not. There is room for improvement. And the market is there, doesn't seem to phase anyone to drop a lot of coin on electronics.

And they don't have to pay for their boat, and an entrance fee, and transportation, and food and lodging.

When is your next visit down here? Been a bit dry, a little rain would be nice.

Went with a buddy when they held it 12 years or so ago. We went to the Expo on the first day. It was interesting, got some free stuff and there were some deals on fishing tackle. Once was enough for me, no plans so far to go this year. First day at the expo isn't as big of a circus as it gets during the weekend.
