THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!!

first i just want to say that i'm a true beginner when it comes to cat fishing. a friend i are were thinkin about fishing the greenfield area saturday evening (out of a boat) and just wanted to know if anybody had and help they could lend me? i've bass fished all my life and just wanting to learn a differnt style. biggest thing i have trouble with is bait and finding productive spots. are there premade baits that are better than others or is nautral bait better??? please help!!! thanks matt

yea i seen that too it was huge!!!! i was bass fihing up at the dam and it looked like the titanic!!!!

DONT KNOW if they have called off the search but i've been in around that part of the lake the last couple of days and i havent seen any search and resuce boats. as a matter of fact i seen one the WP search boats going east thru willard about two fridays ago.

how far up to u have to go before the water clears up? i'll be in a red explorer and bass tracker give me a shout if you see me...

THINKIN ABOUT PUTTING IN at cc/greenfield in the morning and was wondering if anyone could give a report on water color or even a fishing report for that area.

the important thing is that the KIDS had a great time.... with that said i dont think that we will ever take another group of kids down there. we couldnt believe all the boat traffic between turners and whitten. as a bass fisherman i have always heard the comments about how rude we are in our big fast bass boats and how we never slow for smaller boats on the water well after this weekend i'll never listen to that again from anyone! i dont know many time guys in there flat-bottem boat never slowed as they passed one of us and caused the kids to tip. i and my partner had to bale out our canoe because a boater never slowed as he came around the bend!!!! i couldnt believe it when a guy at whitten told another guy that all they had done all day was "slam beers and drive up and down the river"

THANKS FOR THE TIP!!!!!

thanks for the help!!!!!

looked at that chart from that link and i just want to make sure i understand... its says no plastics so that means even for smallies?? and if so i cant fish them until we pass turners?? i'm a bass guy and i'm confussed about no plasctics ..... tubes, worms, ect..???

WE BOOKED A FLOAT TRIP ON THE ELEVEN POINT FOR 5/29-30 WE HAVE FLOATED IT MANY TIMES BUT I/WE HAVE NEAR FISHED IT WHILE FLOATING. JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD TELL ME WHAT TO EXPECT FISHING WISE WHEN I GET THERE THIS A CHURCH GROUP FLOAT AND I WAS NEEDING TO KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR THE REGULATIONS FOR THE 11POINT MAINLY NEEDING TO KNOW IF EVERYONE WHO FISHED NEEDS A TROUT STAMP OR JUST REGULAR FISHING PERMIT???? WE ARE FLOATING FROM GREER TO WHITTEN.

i'm gonna be fishing in a "for FUn" crappie tourny with some guys/friends from church on sat 4/4 ON STOCKTON . i guess were gonna launch around 9am or so at bona/cedar ridge i was thinkn about shootin up to maze creek. im vary fimiliar with stockton but i don't crappie fish much and when i do its at night. i really don't want to go farther than the state park and i will go to aldrich if i have to? just need some tips, hints/baits anything ect.... thanks- HYDE

i went up the the river 3/20 not much luck caught 3 lm but no whites or walleye. did talk to several guys said the fishing had been decent not good but decent on 3/17 but the front moved thru that night and it hadnt been good since. i'm planning on goin tomarrow cousins are on springbreak so well see if its gotten beter. of all theguys i talked to maybe two had caught good females and they were caught west of the aldrich bridge in the late afternoon evening.

yea i would agree and even the ramps to the north of state park would be good its when you get into the "river arms" of the lake you need to worry about lower units if your new to the lake. maybe this link will help : http://mdcgis.mdc.mo.gov/website/stocktonl...hstructures.pdf

THE PIC WONT COME FOR ME IS IT POSTED ON THE FLW SITE? OR COULD SOMEBODY SHOOT IT TO ME VIA E-MAIL?

i would say if the weather holds up next sunday could be prime time if you can fight everyone off i checked the weather.com and its supposed to be in the 60's starting tues the 17th thru the weekend. when i was up there 3/13 there were lots of little ones and i DO mean little ones caught, tons of boat and bank traffic. water between orleans and taylors bridges was 57-60 depending on the depth. if you do go up the river be careful the lakes at power pool so stay in the channel the best you can until it drops off before the mouth of the lil sac. i hope to be up there 3/19-3/20. i'll try to not to catch them all.

i was up there friday and they're just not there yet, lots of small ones being caught but this weather has got things so messed up.

DAD AND I WERE fishing near cape fair saturday lots of pros one sure took notice when dad landed a 5 pounder not 30 yard where he pulled in!!dad didnt say anything but you could tell he sure was proud!!
