Quillback

A great day for fishing, it was cold to begin with, but by the time of the weigh-in it was a pleasantly warm, sunny afternoon. We'll have to make sure that going forward M&M picks the date for us as he did a fine job of getting us scheduled into a nice day to fish. Quite a few bass were caught, but a tough day to get big fish. 2.9 largemouth was the winner with several more around 2.5 lbs. weighed in. Jerkbaits and Rock Crawlers were working well, I heard of fish being caught on bluff ends, bank transitions, and in the backs of pockets and coves. Several accidental trout were caught, biggest was 3.1 lbs. Also some walleye were tallied and I heard of a couple being keepers. And thanks for the donations to Christian Action Ministries, you guys were very generous! Kbilb did not win this year, but Jaybill, fishing with him got the winning fish. Here's the winning fish: Some honorable mentions: Here we are at the pavilion:

I'd like to see some a couple of years of low water in the spring so that some of the buck brush can rejuvenate. A lot of it that grew up in the low water back 10 years ago or whenever that was, has died. Once it dies it gets brittle and then the waves pound it to smithereens and it is gone except maybe for a little stump kind of deal.

I emailed Tim a week or so ago and he says he is doing well and is also painting lures. He does some outstanding work, highly recommended.

Hey Phil, the Gallery images are gone. @Phil Lilley

I do have some pics, I'll post them tomorrow, I'm too whupped to do it now. Winning fish was a 2.9 caught by one of Kbilb's crew, I think his name is Jay (my apologies if I got that wrong). Several of the guys caught quite a few fish but the big girls did not come out to play. Interestingly someone caught a 3.1 lb. rainbow, which beat all the bass. Someone else caught a couple of rainbows too. Good day for incidental trout.

Thanks guys, a few days ago I had a Windows upgrade and didn't know if it was just me. I will notify Phil.

I don't see anyone's avatars anymore beside their username. Also on the main forum I don't see the ad banners that are sometimes assigned to forum topics, just the filename.jpeg (or whatever). I do see photos posted in threads however. Anyone else having this issue?

HAHA, please no doughnuts, because I will eat them all and I really need to be staying away from those things.

Nice smalls!

Probably just caught it right (pure luck) so that the boat sort of bounced off. He's lucky it didn't come to a sudden stop when it hit the bank.

HA!

I plan on bringing a small grill and some charcoal.

There is but it is always turned off.

Welcome Jaybill, good luck!

I'm saying there's chance, but no I would not bet on it.

If they can win the first game then they get Gonzaga. I believe they have a shot against the Zags if they play tough inside D and use their quickness at the guard positions to defend the 3 point perimeter. Gonzaga shoots a lot of 3's and has some great shooters, but if Mizzou can somehow make it tough to get those 3's then they have a chance. Tilmon has to stay in the game too, if he gets in early foul trouble that won't be good. They will need his inside presence on D.

Another recommendation for Mr. Babler, not only can he show you the ropes, but he's just a good guy to go fishing with. Knows the lake as well as anyone.
