We did yesterday but honestly did best below Fall Creek. We threw jigs everywhere. The mini brown came from the backside of the grass point just above Point Royale. The shallower gravel and grass lines were better than the bluff/rock stuff.
-
Not a whole lot to share but I caught a nice bow Thursday and a really pretty mini brown yesterday.

I'm in the same place I was 20 years ago....literally! I was an 8th grader at the school district that I currently work and my office is also located in that same 8th grade wing of that building in what used to be a computer lab. As for new years eve, I'm sure i was sitting on a computer talking to girls and friends on MSN messenger in between playing Starcraft or Ultima Online.

How many are going to be there for dinner Thursday? I can grab some sides to go with the turkey.
-
I am trying to find somebody to go down with me early Thursday so I can get in two days of fishing. I’ve got to roll out early Saturday though so I can be back in time for my families xmas dinner. Work schedules lead us to having it late this year. Was anybody else going to be down and staying at the resort Thursday night?
-
I think my family is doing their xmas dinner on January 4th this year. If I can worm my way out of that, I'll definitely go. I'm not sure why we are doing it so darn late this year anyways.

I'd say it was pushing the 2' mark and 5#. It was tail walking like a dolphin so we all got a good look at it. Never have I seen a big brown do that. All the big browns I've seen caught stayed down deep. It's a good thing I didn't have to pee when he went for the boat flip and broke it off or I might have just pissed my pants laughing. It wasn't as funny when he beat my walleye off at the boat. 😄

What are your fishing goals for 2019??
Seth replied to gotmuddy's topic in General Angling Discussion
Didn’t win a winter tourney, but did place in the koney a few times. I did win CAM with over 700” of fish. No luck on getting the better half to fish a tourney. Didn’t float at all. Still not 20” brown but got to net three for others. No money fish in the fall BBB this year either. -
Heck I watched people running up the White River in 28k CFS this weekend with 9.9’s! I think you will be ok either way. Water will be a lot slower the further down you go. Four units in the Fall Creek or Short Creek area is a lot faster than it is down around the Landing.

People are on it in kayaks all the time.

The Norfork was rough on all of us. Brett broke his Panoptix transducer bracket and had a dead trolling battery. We drifted through some rapids and drifted in to a rock hard enough to crease one of the outer ribs on the bottom of my hull. Almost went in the drink on that one. I looked like I was break dancing up on the front deck on that one. My trolling motor hit hard too and I thought I broke something for sure but all was well.
-
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.
