Thanks to Bill B for stating the obvious These vaccines are a modern miracle there are 3 teens on vents right now in Spfd Every patriot should do their part to put this disease to rest without that we are setting ourselves up for failure

There is a search for a missing kayaker on the James south of Nixa. He was last seen attempting to get back on his kayak near some downed timber.

That I had tail hooked a giant carp or the bass of a lifetime. After 5 min of drag slipping (17lbtest) I grasped that this was no ordinary fish. I swear when it rolled for the first time it looked 6 ft long, I beached the boat to get her landed.

I posted this 10 yr ago so if you know of a bigger one chime in, it was early spring and I was throwing a 2 oz dbl wleaf spinnerbait (poured and made myself) I was letting it helicopter down on standing timber, hopefully looking for a big pre spawn LMB. The Flathead weighed 52 lb, until I hear different I’m claiming the record.

I caught a 52 lb flathead on a dbl wleaf spinnerbait in 2006 as far as I know it’s the biggest cat caught on a lure in tablerock. Have caught other smaller ones on bass gear. Just saying

I lack the skills to move a txt pic to my photo app

My daughter just sent me a pic of a capsized boat out in the channel

Giving me waves of nausea ,their other posts talk about “showing support for our president “ a thinly veiled political event, nuff said.

52 lb many years ago on double one oz spinner bait

As a rod builder I chose two st croix legend elite blanks 7’ and 7.5 ‘ med lite I used the soft touch mud hole grips and flexible titanium REC guides for a true light in the hand feel I chose 2 piece models which has allowed ez storage and travel easier on trips. After years of building most big name rods Sage, Loomis etc I feel the st croix are in a league of their own........at least in the spinning sector. One thing I don’t go nuts on are the reels I’ve found the pflueger mg reels 99$ to be all I need especially with braid/fluoro set up

I have caught 6 over 20 one of those were from Table Rock lake. I use hand made Jigs with gami’s or black nickel Matzou’s for hooks I dress the streamer with a mixture of grey craft fur and SLF I swing this fly on a sage 9.6 5 wt z axis that I built with single foot Titanium guide. The trick is to fish like your nymphing you must use a system that composes a castable system of strike indicators After the initial drift throw some slack in the line which turns it from a horizontal presentation to a vertical one The jig allows a more accurate presentation as it slowly meanders along the current seams and holes I have a jet so it’s a simple matter to go up and run back up for a do over. Well I’ve just condensed 35 yrs of fly fishing for smallie’s BTW I also use spinning gear with 2 Legend Elites I built I’m never too proud to pick up a Ned rig when necessary Using jigs and strike indicators will add a new level to your game

Do you ever use the big ones I have good times with them on stripers fewer bad ones with the larger sizes

In my area (Nixa) Home’s with 3 car garages are bringing a 35 k premium . When we bought 13 yr ago it was at the top of my list. I’m able to squeeze in a boat, truck,Mom’s suv, workbench ,2 bikes , a Ztr mower and a wall dedicated to rods and tackle. It also has hot/cold water and a central vac port in the garage. We don’t have a mansion it’s just 2200 sq ft but I stood by my guns and have never regretted it

Xpress ..... the first and still best Hull designs

That’s why I drive an Etec

20 yrs ago I landed this 52 lb monster on a 1 oz dbl willow spinner in the early spring. Until I see different I have to assume it’s the record for lure caught on table rock. They are the apex predator

I doubt if the eagle rock area has advanced to the higher septic standards of stone and Branson areas....heavy rain causing excess runoff of “nutrients “ which dumped into already hot lake created a dead zone.... in that area I can smell banks that smell of sh?? When was the last time septic systems were ever tested.... only when they’re put up for sale but no one wants to admit their systems are causing algae blooms and fish kills.

Haven’t been since spring then the wretched heat all summer but my son and I got lucky with the weather yesterday and ended up doing the top water deal it was sporadic but we had fun pics of two of our better ones......

I can only imagine what this might catch

Try as I may I can no longer post photos on this forum ,many have complained but there doesn’t seem to be much action around it. Like the previous post pointed out photos are a nice addition to a report to make it believable.

Well I hate to say it but baby it’s Walmart ever - starts for me all the way l get 4.5 yrs if I maintain them properly. I keep em. Charged and topped of w distilled water. I have learned to buy new ones at the start of the fifth yr. when they go they go hard and you’ll know it. With these you are guaranteed to get the freshest factory to store it’s just simple math with the number they sell. I’ve seen batteries at boat dealers that were two yrs old!!

Last year green craw was the ticket but I’ve had to drive into BPS and sort through a dozen bags to find a bag made right mail order won’t cut it they have poor quality control on that color. I started this topic to let folks know not to waste their money on the pre cut turds the best heads are made by Drt5keepers but I didn’t want to bother him with a jig order....anybody else having trouble posting pics?
