I did just check the Regatta list (USA Bassin isn't on the Regatta list) - nothing going out of Big M on the 14th, at least as showing on the list. Just don't think Big M is big enough to handle a couple of tourneys on the same day. We could go out of Eagle Rock on the 21st, but I'm going to see what the response is for the 14th.

Dang, I did not know anyone else ran tourneys out of Big M. We could move it up to March 14. Let me know what you all think of the 14th.

I might sign up for it, but I'm a wimp when it comes to cold - if it looks like that's going to be a weekend where it Is below freezing for the most part, then I probably would stay home.

Yes Phil, thanks! One more thing - This will be a No A-rig tourney.

I've talked to a few members and have seen comments on the board about having an OAF tournament. I am thinking of putting one together if there is enough interest. I think all that is needed is to get a Missouri Regatta permit and a COE permit, (if there is anything else, let me know). Here's what I'm thinking: Tournament to be run out of the Big M COE launch - Date Saturday March 21, I'm thinking March to get it in before the spawn and before tournament season really kicks in. Big bass format - biggest black bass wins. Tournament is free, however winner will receive a trophy with a suitable engraving - think of the prestige of winning this trophy! Tournament would run from 7AM to 2PM, leaving time post-tournament for people to do some socializing. I'd probably bring a charcoal grill and burgers and hot dogs. Probably need at least 10 boats to make it worthwhile, if you are seriously interested and would probably make it - post it here on this thread. Would also like to have a volunteer or two to help out with weigh-in etc. We could also have a walleye division along the same lines, big walleye wins. Rules for walleye would be different, trolling allowed and use of bait. A fisherman would have to declare which division (bass or walleye) they are fishing in before launch. You need to be a registered OAF member to participate.

Some nicely colored browns.

Come on now, how many people get to ice fish for stripers?

Hard to beat Mountain Home as a place to live for the fisherman.

"Schools of crawfish, upwards of a thousand of them in a school" - and he has video - just can't get it to "upload".

Drone, very cool.

Thankfully we don't have to worry about ice fishing.

Kudos Jim!

I consider below 40 to be cold.

I'd like to fish Stockton one of these days.

Must have been in an urban area? http://www.wkyt.com/home/headlines/Fish-and-wildlife-officials-reportedly-euthanized-a-mountain-lion-Monday-in-Bourbon-Co-285957541.html

Very informative video, going to have to try this when the spawn starts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ti_H4m94Wo

Glad to hear you got on some birds on the management areas, I may do a little poking around next week, if anything me and the dog will get some exercise.

Phil must have fixed something - I can now "like" posts.

Looks like I have hit my quota also.

I always wear my Jimmy Choo shoes (with heels) when I go walleye fishing.

Couple of mondo crappie.

Interesting to see you are getting them out over 30 feet to hit the jerker.

Great video! How did you get those overhead shots?

Kind of surprised they did not have a Gizzard Shad color, the LC that is.

I can't fish a weed less head on TR, wish I could, but unless I want to go through a dozen heads a day, it just doesn't work for me.
