I see Harvey Horne is in 19th on the boater side. Harvey helped me out the other day when my boat was broke down on the side of the road. Go get them Harvey!

Wow, good job Mike!

Might get it back next week, they had to order an axel.

It looks like it might catch a bass. Nice thing about top waters is that they are usually harder to lose (have to watch out for bad knots and trees), so even if they are a bit pricey at times you'll hopefully have them around for a long time.

I'll be interested to hear how those swim baits work out, they sure look good.

Thanks for the report, I was wondering if it was time for them to start chasing that Menace Grub.

Very nice bag of fish! I need to get over there this year and do some fishing.

I'm sure it was us you saw. So many boats out there today, you'd have to come within casting distance before I'd recognize you.

Fished around Viney again today with Muddy Water, and we were banking it. Good numbers day, approximately 28 bass between the two of us, a couple of solid keeper largemouth, and maybe another one or two that were close. Caught a nice walleye, no measuring device on hand, but it was a solid keeper, maybe 22 inches. Dragging Neds. Lots of tourney boats in Viney, had 4 or 5 in there at one time, constantly had boats running in and out. But most of them were fishing shallow, so left us plenty of water to fish. And we got some bonus free tackle, I found a custom painted Wiggle Wart on the banks and Muddy dredged up a spinning combo. That spinning outfit is going to need some work, looks to have been in the lake since Babler was a pup.

Fished up there once, 7 years ago or so, up the Spring maybe a mile up past the bridge at Twin Bridges, I think we caught about 20 whites that day throwing size 5 shad colored Shad Raps. If there are a bunch of boats up there then the whites are probably there too.

And if you are fishing with a buddy, and are catching fish on a "hot" color, your buddy will want to fish it too. So, bump it to 5.

Hope you can make it for the weigh in!

Thanks Bill, great information as always.

List updated.

Good catch Patrick, thanks!

Probably won't be open. Never has been the last two tourneys.

He hasn't been back since he posted the message. I'm going to have to email him and give him a hard time.

I know Morgan, fished with him once, and I know he knows his way around internet forums like this one. I'm pretty sure he's just being humorous or if you like, "trolling". Anyway, I don't think it's anything we need to get upset about.

Cool, hope you make it.

Doc, we'd love to have you, if anything feel free to stop by and say hi.

Start time 0630 (but you can start late if you like) Weigh in at Eagle Rock COE park 1430. Looks like we are going to have a lot of food. Only requirement is that you be an OA registered member. Eagle Rock is about an hour from Rogers. Rules are posted on the Table Rock forum.

Didn't see any dads, but didn't really look for them.

Sorry, I cleared out a few so should be good to go.

Yep 24, congrats on the weight loss. I need to drop a few dozen myself. You're right, banking it can burn some calories. Fish for a couple of hours, next thing you know you're half a mile away from your vehicle.
