I sold a TM a few years ago, the buyer met me at a grocery store parking lot, he had a battery in the trunk of his car, TM ran fine off his battery and he bought it.

I'm a big fan of Dtrs5kprs mushroom style heads and putting a cut Zinker on them. Austin, here's a link to videos that Dtrs put together on the Ned, several posts down. Lots of good info there. http://forums.ozarkanglers.com/topic/54987-so-you-have-ned-rig-questions/

Lately is has been 1/16 or 1/8 for me, a few weeks ago I was using 1/8 all the time for casting distance and getting it down deep faster, but now that things are warming up I am throwing 1/16 more and fishing shallower. You should be getting some bites on 1/15 size, what brand of head and hook size is it? Are you throwing a cut Zinker?

I was thinking that with these warm temps there might be some males (bass) getting ready.

I hear you on the sunburn, my face burns real easy, takes about 2 hours on the water without protection and my face will get cooked.

Did get some today, saw some fish 20 feet down in a cove, mix of small bass and bluegills, tired a wacky rigged Berkley trout worm hoping to catch some redear, but caught a couple of small bass and one nice bluegill. I think that if I had used redworms I could have caught a few, they would peck around at the trout worm, but didn't seem convinced it was real food (and it ain't).

This afternoon I fished one of the Bella Vista lakes, started out with Dirt and only caught one on it, switched over to PB&J and caught about 7 on that color. Overall it was much slower than I expected, water temp hit 63 and maybe the rapid rise had the fish buffaloed. Caught one sorry looking bass, had the head and body size to be a 6 lber if healthy, but skinnier than heck and looks to be dying of old age. My guess is it's an old male. No fight at all, I mean none, thought I was dragging in a stick. Look at those sunken eyes.

Couple of nice looking fish. Did you happen to see the water temp? Curious as to what this warm weather the last couple of days has done to water temps.

I know the other Dave from Kansas fishes PB&J and does very well with it, and I think, and I emphasize "think" that smallies prefer PB&J over Dirt. But, relatively few smallies on the upper end of the lake, if I fished further down I might lead with PB&J. Muddy Water throws PB&J often and does well also.

If you decide you like it, send Dtrs a PM and order his finesse heads, they are the best out there IMO and very reasonably priced.

Dirt is my go to color and if it doesn't seem to be working I'll throw PB&J. One thing I like about Dirt is that it is USUALLY very salty, I like to stretch the tail and get a lot of that salt out and you get a very foamy bait that has a lot of action that can be imparted with very little rod movement, floats off the bottom well also. And I cut the Zinkerz as Dtrs mentions. I don't do too much thinking as far as cloudy/sunny stuff, I just roll with Dirt. If the water is murky I might experiment with something with some glitter in it like Cali Craw.

Seedless fruit usually costs a bit more. I know typo, but I could not resist.

Funny how trailer tires attract sharp metal objects. This is the 3rd flat I have had to change out in the 5 years I have owned this trailer. Truck tires have been fine.

It's been a fun tourney for sure, 2 number one seeds out already, and I think Gonzaga looks shaky (I'm pulling for the Zags BTW). As far as the Hogs, I agree they got hosed as far as fouls, but they didn't help themselves by missing the free throws they had. They didn't score in the last 3 minutes, and I got a bit frustrated in that they just had a guard out there dribbling as the shot clock wound down and they end up taking desperation shots. Can't start out down 17 either against a team like NC.

Saw this mentioned in the paper. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/03/06/2017-04279/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-technicalagency-draft-recovery-plan-for-the

I'd bid $5.00.

Lomond has a lot of water willow on the banks, don't know if the draw down will hurt it, but it is all over the place. Lots of little bass in Lomond, and also some good ones.
-
Dang that's one big paddler. Might be a line class record for that species, assuming your young'un was using light line for that Shad Rap.

Hoping all goes well for your father!

Got my trailer back, must have picked up this hitchhiker on the way home. I'll be visiting the tire shop tomorrow.

The AGFC biologists will tell you that high water is key to fry survival on Beaver. Fry have to have someplace to get away from the predators.

Yeah I like their tubes, but never have tried their grubs. I don't fish grubs very often, probably should fish them more, but there is so much stuff to fish it's hard to fish everything. Here's a link, they have a color called "Bloody Mary" that is Smoke/Red/black/copper. May not be what you guys want. http://www.drycreekoutfitters.com/category_s/78.htm

I don't even know where Lincoln is. I bet every lake in the area was busy yesterday.

Beautiful day, I can see where there might be a boat or two out on the lake.
