Imo The Ultimate Replacement Treble
Quillback replied to Mitch f's topic in General Angling Discussion
Thanks for the info, I'm always interested in new tackle, but from what I see, I'll stay with the Mustad KVD's as a replacement on cranks. Mustads are less expensive, come in a wider range of sizes and are just as good a hook IMO. I can get a treb off and on a crank pretty quickly with my split ring pliers so the magic eye feature to me is not a big deal. -
It's on Saturday evening on NGC, 5 two person teams competing to catch (via handgrabbing) the biggest catfish. Weekly winner gets $2,000 for the biggest cat. At the end of the year, biggest cat gets $10,000. Weigh in is in Oklahoma, so mostly OK lakes and rivers, but one team does travel down to North Texas.

My grandfather always used to say about my grandmother, that she'd "argue with a signpost". Yeah it is surprising that there is no length limit on bass in the general rules or at Swepco, but Swepco used to be strictly catch and release for bass, then it got overpopulated with bass, they were skinny and stunted, so they encouraged people to keep bass and thin them out.
-
Yep 10, any size, which are the statewide rules (there are exceptions for lakes such as Beaver) http://www.agfc.com/fishing/Pages/FishingDailyLimits.aspx Thanks for the tip on the ramp, we were over there Thursday and did not fall off the edge, but it's certainly a good idea to check before launching. Not to sound like a wiseguy, but there's a giant sign on the edge of the parking lot, facing the lot, that tells you what the limit is on Swepco.

You're not talking about keeping bass are you? If you are, I'm not teliing you.. But if you insist, it's 10 bass a day, but only one over 18". http://www.agfc.com/fishing/Pages/fishingLakesDetail.aspx?show=SWEPCO

I'd guess they haul them back to the lake in a tanker truck, where to? I'd like to know that also. There's probably going to be some mortality, but even if it's 10%, you're talking 50-75 fish total, and I doubt it will be that high. I'd say on a typical early summer weekend with fun fishing and local tourneys (not to mention the folks that bring some home some to fry) going on you'll end up with more dead fish than this event will cause.
-
I agree with these guys, I'd definitely get something around 80 lb., and run it off a 24 volt system.
-
Looks like it's topped out. Approximately 1.2 feet. I was hoping for 2-3 feet.
-
Yes, is good.
-
Great fish Donna! I've only fished Grand a few times, but I need to start getting over there more often. That lake does seem to have a lot of drum. I've caught a few decent ones that I thought were big bass until I saw what they were.
-
You can find some good deals sometimes in the Bargain Cave (online that is, I don't know if the Rogers store has one). But other than that I go elsewhere for my bass stuff.
-
I don't know, but I hope you're right. So far it's up about 10", I think we'll be lucky to see a 2 foot rise.
-
I'm doing a lot of head scratching lately trying to figure these slimey green critters out. Even the top pros have tough days, it's interesting when the FLW comes to Beaver that some of the guys who fish that tourney are local and you'd think they'd do well in the tourney, but some of them struggle. But you fish enough and you'll have your day when every thing you do is right. I love those days!
-
Come on mudline!
-
Wow, that is a piggy! Congrats!
-
Those arrowhead laws are kind of ridiculous IMO. It will be interesting to see what the FLW guys do if the lake is still down in April when the FLW comes to Beaver. If they think there's bass in the uplake river channels those guys will blast up there.
-
Al, I hope you're a handsome guy, that is if you're selling clothes with your image on them I am interested in checking out your prints, if I'm there I'll stop by and take a look.
-
I've been reading some posts on other boards where the guys are saying you can get some free stuff at the exhibition, they advise to bring a bag with you to carry all the loot. I hope that is true, I love "free". Also read that the doors to the convention center, where the weigh in is held, open at 3 PM. Just passing onsome things I've read, don't take it as the gospel truth.

Dang Bill, 57? You'll be able to start cashing those Social Security checks before long. Hope you have a good one!
-
Yes thanks for the info. It makes this forum a better place to visit when people make these types of contributions.

Pretty much work it like any suspending jerkbait, twitches and pauses. It does have an action that resembles a Shad Rap, so I suppose you could do a crankbait type retrieve, maybe worked slowly like that you could pick up some fish, haven't tried it that way, but it's in the back of my mind to try it.

I've cycled multiple 20 round mags through an M-16 on full auto. BRRRZZZIIIP, drop the mag, insert another, BRRRRZZZIP, repeat. Nothing caught on fire, no malfunctions, no jams, everything just keeps on working. This was when I was employed by Uncle Sam, and the ammo was free. Load tracers, fire them at night and it's like a lazer beam, very cool. The only concern with going full auto with an M-16 is that you'll rapidly burn up all your ammo. A guy can only carry so much..
-
Got off the trailer about 1000 today, broke out the jerkbaits and started fishing. Had to work for them again, caught 3 LM's, 2 of them were around the keeper mark, but the third and last bass of the day went 5.75 lbs on the Boga grip. Got her off a wind blown main lake point on a Pointer 78 XD. My other two bass were on an IMA Flit. Quite a few bassers out there today, dunno if it was because of the nice weather, or maybe a tourney was going on. Water temps were 41-42 in the White river channel before Eagle Rock and around 44 further down.

Oaf Spring Fish Fry ..... What Do You Think?
Quillback replied to Phil Lilley's topic in Table Rock Lake
Count me in, I'll be happy to bring whatever except for crappie fillets, you good crappie fishermen will have to supply those. I'd like someplace mid-lake for this if possible. -
Well I just watrched Pete Wenner's video report and he's reporting tough fishing also. I might get out on TR Saturday and see if I can get skunked, I'm going to use reverse psychology, instead of hoping to catch fish, I'm going to see if I can get skunked, I'll fish hard, but my goal will be to not catch a fish. Especially big ones. If I get one over 3 lbs. I'm gonna get really PO'd. If you see me in my silver and black Phoenix around the Big M area, feel free to stop by and tell me where the fish aren't and what they're not biting on.
