  1. Look here - these guys stole our "Fest" labeling for a fishing event. Should we pool our money for a class action lawsuit? 😀
  2. I remember that, if I recall correctly, they had had that chimp for years, raising it from a baby to adult. Treated it like a human. One day it snapped and just about killed the owner, really tore him up.
  3. Just a dusting of snow here. Cold however and I am already tired of it. Supposed to get a bit more snow tomorrow night, the weather guessers seem to be having trouble putting together a solid forecast as far as snow totals. looks to be 1-3".
  4. They'd for sure question your sanity. But there was one on the loose in MO. Deputies rescue pink tutu-wearing subject from Missouri highway
  5. Just got my copy yesterday. So far some interesting history. Not far from Cape Fair is a pretty high bluff on the James arm called Virgin Bluff. Dutch and I would speculate why it was named as it was, and I told him (jokingly) I bet in the old days they threw a virgin off as a sacrifice to the gods. Well I wasn't far off, legend has it an Indian gal named "Moon Beam" threw herself off the bluff when she was forbidden to marry a conquistador.
  6. I did buy a couple of wireless thermometers yesterday, one for outside and one for the garage.
  7. I hear thunder... My neighbor flies a drone around every once in a while, sure would be fun to shoot it down, but that would create a few problems.
  8. It wasn't too bad out there, but that's with a late start.
  9. Waited for it to warm up a bit and launched around 0930. Found one good bank that was holding some fish and found a lot of banks that were not holding fish. Best bait was the Ned rig, fished on steep timbered banks or rocky banks. Ned fish were in the 10-20 FOW range Caught a couple on the 3.3 swimbait. And one crankbait fish, but that was my best fish of the day a 3 1/4 Lb. largemouth. 14 total bass, all smallies except for the one LM and a meanmouth. 3 were keepers. WT 52
  10. Good to see you back Dock! Nice fish!
  11. I did fish on Beaver today, several firsts for 2025, of course you can get a lot of firsts your first time out. 😃 First fish of the year, first smallmouth, and first swimbait fish: First hybrid, a lot of spotted bass in this one, but olive colored. First keeper smallie (16.5 inches), on a Ned rig, but not first Ned fish of the year: And to wrap it up, first largemouth of the year and first crankbait fish.

  14. Nice, I did not fish last year for bream, I mean bluegill. Have to get out for them this year.
  15. Won't be too much longer and the spawning run will begin. If I was a determined walleye fisherman and had the time, I'd go and try and get some creek chubs out of the local creek.
  16. Sounds familiar, maybe they mentioned him in the video. I'll let you know once I get the book.
  17. I'm game, I'm definitely getting a MO license for Taneyfest.
  18. I heard second hand that it is fishing crappie minnows on a jighead. The times I have seen him out there he has been fairly shallow on gravel points.
  19. I don't get too specific on my fishing goals. But I'll probably get a MO non-rez license this year and maybe spend some time poking around Taney.
  20. HAHA! 2025 - When I was 10 years old the year 2000 seemed to be way off in the distance and here we are at 2025. Happy New Year!
  21. Congrats on a great day! You're tougher than I am, it was too cold and windy for me yesterday. I have seen that guide the last 2 times I have been out there, I believe he is from Red's Guide Service, they have a Facebook page and lots of pictures of caught walleye.
  22. Sardines in mustard are kinda slimy, but good on crackers.
