Thanks..prob head back over thursday eve..and yeah there was no way I was stopn and knockn on doors last night. Even packn I wouldnt tempt a sleepn dog.lol

Me and the boy snagged for 4 hrs last night and never hit a fish. We walked the high trail down from Blunks as far as you could go. Was still blessed with an awesome night on the river. My question how did you get in at McCords. It was all shut down and big STOP sign saying area was closed.. enlighten me because I would love to hook one this year

We are headn that way when I get off work this eve. Id say after the rain we had yesterday and last night they will start running up. Has anyone been yet today?

Sold

Id say between horse creek and hootn town.. i bet theres fish in every little hole though from springfield back

No boat we were off the bank and walked from blunks to taylor shoals. Thats why i had to drag them.. its like almost a mile from blunks. Just now recovering from that drag

Man the run was on tonite. Snagged for pronably 3hrs at Taylor Shoal and caught 5 or 6 lost some and hit a bunch more. Butchered and drug 3 between me and my son out. Longest drag ive ever done from the shoal to blunks but felt like we accomplished sumthn. Thank the Lord for another yr of spoonie snaggn on the James

I am looking to trade a brand new Taurus slim 9mm pistol and a 16' flat back canoe for a running 10 to 25 horse tiller boat motor. Dont care what yr as long as it runs and has or can get a title. Feel free to txt or call me 417-251-1292 Thanks & God bless

We were from the bank. Last weekend they were still down around Walnut Springs and Asher Cain.. We snagged out of a boat last w/e and snaggd a few... To really get into them you gotta wait for that river to come up 10ft or so then they make the push. Over the last 7 yrs every spring James will flood its just if it is still season or not. Last yr it was on Easter Sun when they made there run. Ive got buddies over there that when it floods they stay with the school till they run all the way to Hootn Town. The minute they start hittn fish they call and we head over from Forsyth. Send me private message with your number and I can put you on the spoonie calling list I have created. Same guys every yr and were kinda like a family now. Its good times

Me and the boy snaggd for 3 hrs wed nite and not a fish then got a text at 2 a.m. ystrday from some die-hard buddies of mine that they finally made it to Blunks. We snaggd for about 8hrs ystrdy and ended up snaggn 19 fish. Big sows early then all little males till right at dark and the sows moved back in. Not as good as years past and just cant help but wonder if it is even the big push or just an early push of fish because of the flood.. Time will tell I guess. Biggest we snaggd ystrdy was a 76lbr but broke off some HUGE fish! good luck to all and keep me informed how everyones season is going

The boat is a 1974 Ozark tri-hull it is a solid old boat with livewell,fish finder,trolling motor and a 1970 115h.p. Mercury outboard sitting on it with power tilt trim it also comes with an 1973 80h.p. Mercury ob for parts with a complete set of controls. The 115 needs to be hooked up and was running when I removed it from another boat this last summer and never had the chance to finish it on this boat. It sets on a 1983 Faith trailer clear clean titles on all except the parts motor had no title. If interested please contact me at 417-251-1292 or send me an e-mail at roughneckjeff@yahoo.com

If any body snaggn needs sinkers this yr I make 6oz and 8 oz I'll do for .50 a pop let me know e-mail me or send me a message

We snagged 3 sat between walnut springs and point 15 one was 82#.. Hopefully with this rain I can snag some tmrw nite at Longs or even Blunks time and weather will tell. Heres a pic of Saturdays catch

I have a very heavy duty fully adjustable 16' trailer with clear title I would take $300 for. It has my 14' gigging boat on it right now but I have a smaller trailer I am going to use for it. Give me a call 417-251-1292

Now come on Guys I'd fish with any of you and not once have a problem... but when some tourist stands underneath a 300' tall dam and tell me that me kicking the rocks is disturbing the stream bed and then pops me in the mouth... well I'm just an old Christian county boy but I wasnt just going to stand there and take it so I proceeded to welcome him to the Ozarks

I got in a fight with a guy from Oregon below Table Rock Dam when I was 17yrs old because about five of us was doing the Taneycomo Shuffle and catching trout from our feets on our fly rods..He mouthed off... I mouthed off. He popped me in the mouth and I took him down and proceeded to drown him... Thank god my buds pulled me off of him but man was Como cold in Feb

I caught the whites in Beaver.. I'm all over sorry for that

watch the dam we were in jets and still had to knock sum trees down to get over it last nite

good post Dutch... to add on up from big rock you have a shoal then the Kissee Mills Bridge hole going up stream you have the old dam. then a good straight shallow run a short deep hole then you enter the Tea Tables hole probably 200yds long and ranging from 3-10' deep above that is shoals. Phil give me a call and I can tell you what the water looks like down my way... If I was going to flip my fly rod id flip 1/100 grey jig at the big rock hole. One of my buddies limited out flipping there Saturday every flip

The tea Tables is above the Kissee Mills bridge

Seth, Give me a holler and maybe we can hook up and Ill show you some of my hidden holes 417-251-1292

Last report i got was last night about midnight and they said they were clear above Ponce and Hootn town. I hope that wasnt the big run.Thats what my deer scale weight the fish at and usually is pretty close... I seen numerous 70 and 80 fish caught Friday night. Stop and talk to the old boy at the motel he'll tell ya

Fish are clear above Hootn Town now back in white bass mode... went this evening at TeaTables and caught 13 studs and a 24" walleye. Studs were milkn like crazy hope they dont blow and go this week. Here are sum pics of the spoonies

I was fishing from the bank, the 86 and 68 and 50sumthn were snagged at shoals Motel the 92 was right above the Galena boat ramp

I kept the big ones u see... all others were not gaffed, unhooked and kicked back into the water. On Fri night I kept the 86lbr when i caught him and continued to snag until I hooked the 68lbr then went home... came back at 12:30 sat morn and snagged until i hooked the 53 then snagged and released until i hooked the 92lbr and went home.. completely legal talked to a warden and if you throw them back they are not considered to be counted toward your daily limit
