  1. End of October 2022 I was able to go this far up in an Aluminum Ranger. Some areas required use of trolling motor.
  2. Speaking from experience. Shallow wet wading Taney is memorable. Definitely take waders if you are serious about fishing.
  3. Lowrance Elite-4X
  4. Suitable units been located. Thanks for looking.
  5. Looking for a low budget depth finder to mount on a trolling motor. Needs to see depth and presence of cover. Don't really care about down DI, SI, GPS, color, or forward sonar. Garmin striker capabilities are more than enough. However, I'm not sure the bracket would hold up in choppy water when mounted on the front.
  6. Not being comfortable with clear water or deep water my partner and I ran up long creek until we ran out of water. Caught a giant Saturday. Sunday caught lots of fish in first 2 hours but only 1 that kept. Poppers, squarebills, and slinnerbaits were our main baits.
  7. I'm sure the decking has affected it to some degree. However, stability was much better than other small decked boats I've been in.
  8. Recently purchased this boat as a package deal that came with 2 outboards. I'm keeping the larger outboard for my boat and selling the rest. I've taken it out for an hour to make sure the motor worked and it wouldn't sink. -Older 15' aluminum V-bottom -Storage for tackle, lifejackets, battery -Rod locker with control panel to turn on power to depth finder/trolling motor, navigation lights, and makeshift livewell (cooler). Also has usb plug and cigarettes lighter plug -20 horse mercury with gas tank. It fired up surprisingly easy, peed, and moved the boat with ease. I think it's an early 90's model? -Motorguide 46 lb thrust trolling motor, 12 volt -Fair trailer tires with spare -trailer step -Garmin Striker 4 Plus depth finder -Trailer is in fair shape with fully functional trailer lights Located in Joplin, MO. Looking to sell for $1,700 obo. Can meet up for test run or send pics/video if needed. 417-483-1695 Will
  9. HA. No pictures. We intended on catching bigger fish that didn't turn out before we left.
  10. Thanks for the input. We ended up fishing the landing. Based on the current downriver that probably worked out in our favor for my boat size. We caught some fish on maribou jigs including 3 brown trout, biggest was 16". I don't have a lot of patience when trout fishing and likely fished to high in the water column for better numbers. Overall he seemed to enjoy the trip and will hopefully make a few trips to the lake once settled into school.
  11. A friends kid will be attending College of the Ozarks this fall. I'm planning on taking him down this saturday on a short trip to identify access areas he can fish without a boat. I'm not certain of his skill level yet but I assume it's primarily powerbait. I will be taking my boat so he can see what's in the water, learn the regulations, and get few lessons on fishing the system. For the upper portion I plan on showing him the following access areas. Am I missing any? -Outlets (waders recommended) -Fall Creek Marina -Lilleys Landing -Cooper Creek Access I doubt we have time to fish the lower section but should be pretty self explanatory of where he could fish.
  12. Sounds like a fine rig for Taney. I assume the 6 HP can get you on the water safely. I've got a 17' BassCat Phelix that I've taken on Taney multiple times without issue, lower and upper. The motor is an old Johnson 8 HP blazing along at 5-7 mph.
  13. Caught 4 keeper crappie with 6 shorts at CC today. Spotted bass, drum, catfish, and whitebass kept it interesting. Trolled the flats until we snagged brush and then dropped crappie jigs in the brush. Seen 3 other boats and some kayaks.
  14. I bumped into a school of big crappie last night putting 7 of my 8 fish in the basket in just a few minutes throwing a smoke grub. 2 were holding eggs the rest were males. Biggest was a 14.5" male. Time to start hitting the slack water and natural dam areas they stack up on.
  15. Fished turnback putting in at the highway 160 bridge. Caught a variety of fish including largemouth, crappie, white bass, and bluegill. Few more weeks and hopefully the bigger fish will be making it in. Had 2 keeper size crappie and 1 keeper size white. Mainly threw smoke grubs on a 1/16 oz jig.
