That’s because Dave caught them all 😁

My Personal best was a 9.11 weighed on a certified scale caught in Schooner Creek in 96 or 98? Should have won $20K with biggest bass weighed in, it was a free tournament for participating resorts. Got disqualified, we did not check in before going fishing because we arrived at resort at 5 in morning and just went fishing, bummer deal.

They could have sponsor incentives, 1st place in group rounds (they may have this already), incentive for heaviest 5 fish bag, etc. I’m sure they will tweak and evolve as the fisherman themselves vote on the changes and will adjust for season 2 as needed.

I know PB2 is good, we did not get much snow in Osage Beach. Think I heard Shawnee Bend was clear as well. Not sure about Coffman ramp.

Sykora leads after Day 2. Results on BassingBob.com

Wow, that’s pretty good for the fish of a 1000 cast as they say. Caught a couple on topwater down there and the strikes are awesome!

Hey Wrench, you can contact Rick Fishback thru Facebook

We have had it here at LOZ as well, fortunately mostly drum and catfish here is what I have personally seen. Saw around 10-15 floaters couple weeks ago in the Glaize arm and then yesterday in the dam area here. Heard reports in the gravois arm as well.

several catfish as well as the drum

Good stuff Dave, happy you were able to get out with family.

I guess this lake is going to stay at 656 for awhile. Was starting to come up with the rain we had and YANK, back down to 656. Errr!

The Jefferson County Hawg Hunters had their annual TR tourney out of Schooner Creek to beautiful prefishing weather Thursday/Friday with high winds and temps in 70s/80 turning to sleet/snow today with highs in 30s as we wrapped up at 11 am. We fished a full day Saturday and 5 hours today. The fishing was reported slow for everyone as we went into the tourney. My long time friend and high school buddy and I had 3-4 banks we had confidence in. We had 2 patterns and the plan was to get a limit and then upgrade. To get our limit was throwing the Ned rig as that is all we could get bit on with any consistency, then go to the big wind and slow roll spinnerbaits in the trees as we caught 3 bigger fish doing this but bites were far and few. Our Ned rig banks were 3/4 way back in coves on flatter mix rock banks that we found that were not in the heavy winds. Even had a 3 lb spot on a spook in the gut of a pocket prefishing Friday as we saw a couple fish busting shad. My buddy had his limit out of the front of the boat both days and he let me try to get my limit each day and scrapped the bigger fish spinnerbait bite. We had to use a heavy head to keep the Ned on bottom, believe it was 1/5. We ended up taking 1st (22.24 lb.) and 2nd (15.30 lbs) along with big boat with 37+ lbs. all on 2 banks. Bite was a mix of all 3 species, love catching those smallies and big ole Ks. This post has been promoted to an article

Oh the methiolate trick worm brings back good memories, we did well on them in the mid to late 90s at Bull and TR. still have a ton of them in all different colors and haven’t thrown them for years but methiolate was one of the first to try along with bubblegum. Was a great lure to throw with some wind when Lake was up in the buck brush.

Heard this from a dealer in the StL area as well. No more Merc 2 strokes.
