vacation

Hello. If I where to put in at k dock and drag crawlers, is there a summer population of walleye there or do I have to go down to the main lake? thanks in advance.

ok, here's a quick report again. Keep in mind I fish three to four days a week because my boat sits in front of my home on a slip, so I have the advantage of getting out often. Saturday there was an ok wiggle wart bite and a very strong 5" kalin smoke grub on 1/4 oz jig head just throwing it on secondary windy points. Keep boat 1 1/2 casts away from shore and toss, count to five and reel slow. If bait comes straight up at boat you are doing it right. Fish just bite and tug slowly and load up and you just lift rod and reel in. I tie grubs on to novices all the time and they are catching fish. I prefer to power fish and the wart bite is strong. Find wind, find fish. That's old school bill babler advice and it's great advice! Today I fished 4to6 and caught 9 keepers and 7 shorts. All in Jakes creek area on points leading to spawning pocket. I caught the worlds most beautiful smallie tonight and took her to my dock to get a better pic and released her. Look how amazing she looks, we are so blessed to enjoy these type of fish!

Nice?. Happy to report she is swimming just fine. Got all the crappie and whites I can handle in freezer at the moment!

Just caught her

Update. Just caught her about an hour ago. I got out at 330. Caught two lm.

Fish from 1030 to 1230 came in before the rain started Water 54°, one on grab all the others came off a wiggle wart 10 foot of water or less on P gravel secondary points

I too have had AMAZING customer service response with costa. I sent in a pair with scratched lenses that were totally my fault and told them that. Sent them in for $10 and they sent me new glasses. Did the same thing with maui jims and had EXCELLENT serVice there as well. Both excellent companies to work with. I now only buy costas or maui jims

Hey all, My house just went under contract and I need place to live while my new house is being built. Looking for a 2 bed condo in Branson for a 1yr lease. I am going to do the on-line looking thing but would rather deal with someone on this site. I am a 10 year Branson guy and LOVE to fish. If ya'll know of something, please shoot me a PM. Did I mention my wife is 7 mths pregnant too! Hope to hear from someone on this. Thanks, Jim

Went with dad, threw a spook on long points, caught five fish , three keepers and a double on a spook. Great night!

That's funny bc I get that about every day, even had a casting company call me to do a stand in two months ago but couldn't get my schedule to work...

Great report bill, the pic of the smallie released back into the water was amazing! If there is a more accurate report on the Rock, I'd like to see it, what a step by step fishing tutorial. Thanks

This is about as late in the year as I have caught one spawning, usually they're done by july 1. I haven't been out since, but hopefully soon as they're a lot of them in the weeds right now. All my biggest LM over ten years at taney have been late june early july.

With the water being off for a few days I went down stream from Branson and fished the main lake channel. Caught 3 short bass and this big girl in weeds in 10 fow using a rebel crankbait in green color. This bass's tail was bloody as she was spawning. Did not get a weight but it measured 26", didn't get girth as I wanted to get it back in the water.

Friends of mine LOVE rock lane on Indian point

In ten years having my boat in a slip on table rock I have not had a problem,just dont leave stuff in it. Sure is handy to have boat in water while on vacation. Next week six of us are headed to lake of ozarks for five days for the 20th year with 3 boats in slips and haven't had a problem. Not saying it cant happen, just be wise about it. Not sure where to point you in your situation, start making calls in that area, maybe boat repair shops or dock builders,they might know

Just got off water at Indian point...Carolina rig pumpkin seed lizard caught lots tonight

My collection of old warts, some custom painted by a fellow forum member. They ROCK!!

All Star Processing in Blue Eye (417) 779-1718, he processes deer from Sept 15 until Jan 15. He also does taxidermy. My buddies and I have taken him dozens of deer and have been very happy with the quality and service. South on hwy 65, West on 86 about 10 miles, he is on the right.

I have traps out every year for eating crawdads, but have had the traps out last three nights and NADA...not sure what the deal is...

Yes...damage to prop will do it's..also water temp, fuel weight, etc... But a clean prop is a must

Fished between the dam and jakes creek yesterday from 5-7pm with wife and another guy who was first time fishing! So, pressure was on to put him on fish. I started hitting some brush piles for crappie/brem, just to get him interested in fishing and nothing bitin. So...I went out to main lake spot with timber and put jerk baits on all our lines, thinking that maybe a dumb bass would bite his lure. All said and done he caught 3 keepers, wife caught 3 keepers and I caught 4 shorts. Back at the dock, he put his jig down and caught two crappie, which we brought back to my house and I taught him to clean a fish. He was lovin it! So, bass were on windy steep banks with timber on them, put boat two casts from the bank and work them tree tops. Babler said it best when he said the bank is to hold water and not much else, he couldn't be more right on Table Rock. Dont know water temp as my built in temp gauge and my Lowrance took a crap and stopped working...must have a short in wiring.

pm me and i'll fill you in

Theft sucks and really gets me going...sorry to hear that. Great looking fish BTW. I live in the Jakes creek branch, have for 10 years, and do not ever remember seeing the lake this clear in my area...really a sight to see. Good report
