That was a fun drive home. 😁
-
Never hurts to have a little hot sauce for chili. So is the food thing pretty well figured out? Is there anything that still needs to be picked up for the weekend that got missed?
-
Sounds like prime conditions for dragging crankbaits. I need to remember to throw them in the boat before I leave.
-
Maybe I just don't bass fish enough these days during winter time to remember right. I know the trout and crappie sure do bite when it's nasty during the winter! I know I rarely go when it's nice and sunny out because the fishing blows compared to the crappy days for me not to mention you have to actually deal with other anglers.
-
I've always done better in the winter for all species on the those nasty dreary days. If the snow is flying, I know it's going to be a killer day! 42* water has always been the magic number for me. Sub 40 is tough unless you're fishing spring water.
-
Heck with all that noise. I just buy my stuff online and then save a digital copy.
-
Sounds like it's just @JestersHK and I in my rig so we would have room for one more. Four is doable if everybody is able to stand while fishing and not require the use of a butt seat. My hull is an 1860 so plenty of standing room on the decks and the 150 Etec can push a pretty good load.

As a MO resident, is the non-res trout permit and a non-res fishing license all I need to be legal for Jigfest?
-
Same except I call mine "The Legend" 😄
-
So is it just you and I then? If that's the case then we can fit one more in my rig.
-
I'd be happy with a 20" brown bass too! Haven't landed one of those in several years that made that mark. Came really close last year, but fell just shy.
-
If I am standing still, then it's definitely easier to fish the middle of a pool versus the riffle, but not so much when drifting in a boat. As long as the boat is moving at the same speed as the current, it doesn't really matter much. Throw at a 45 degree angle down stream and it's not much different than jigging dead water to me. I'd rather fish nose down when going with the current versus nose up unless I am trying to target eddies. I imagine I'm in for a bit of a learning curve on the White the way it sounds and I can't wait to get down there and try to figure things out.

I’m after that 20” brownie that has been so elusive to me on Taney. It’s my turn to watch @JestersHK net my 20”+ brownie! 😁 The deal on Taney in heavy flow is fish eddies or be on the bottom. Shallow water should just make it easier to stay on the bottom, right?
-
I found some old posts where guys were hammering big trout in 46k CFS from boats so I don't see why this would be a deal breaker. High water on Taneycomo usually means quality fishing for me so hopefully the White is the same.
-
I'm bringing my rig, but I think @JestersHK and his buddy will be in with me.
-
Is the White trashy when it is this high?
-
Sounds like you have a lot of people in your life that need to be told to go fly a kite and pee off.
-
I hate gut shots, but they do happen. As long as you recognize that you hit one in the guts, just back out and give it 12 hours. I'm 99.9% confident at finding gut shot deer AS LONG as they weren't pushed too soon.
-
I love my Airstreams for casting jigs to 1/8oz and dock shooting with 1/32oz heads for crappie. They don't quite have enough power to shoot a 1/16oz jig as well as a good medium light.
-
I can’t drop deer to save my life. On the doe, I shattered her scapula, ripped apart the lungs and she still ran 50 yards. Same deal with the buck. I was a touch below the spine on both deer though too. I’m shooting some .270 reloads pushing 130gr Swift Scirocco bullets at 3060-3080 fps. Love how they work on the deer I have taken with them. Worked well on a big cow elk last December as well.
-
The deer gods finally showed some mercy on Thursday and Friday. I saw almost 20 and took a nice doe Thursday evening, saw nothing on Friday morning and then doubled up on deer with a buddy on Friday evening.
-
Does an 1860 Legend SS vbass with a 150 jet count? It’s coming regardless of water level though. 😁
-
Plenty of deer just nothing mature in the buck department. I’ve put two button heads and a doe in the freezer so far though between bow and gun. I’m still passing the 3.5 and younger bucks hoping for something better.
-
You ever try the Famous Daves corn bread mix? I could eat that stuff till I am sick and I've never been a big fan of corn bread.
-
No fishing but I will most likely be in a deer stand if I still haven’t tagged a buck yet.
