It happens every spring. Farm fertilizer runoff is supposedly the culprit.

Plan on it smoking your ceiling. I had one, used it once in the garage then gave it away.

That’s my old stompin grounds. I had never heard that story. Thanks

Good going. I know how you like that top water bite.

One of these days I’ll be the one yelling get the net because I have never caught a striper. That thing was bigger than any hybrid that I have caught at Truman. Thanks again for a great morning on the water.

Bill I think he is referring to the regular weekly tournament out of Cape Fair. You can check it out on the MO tournaments schedule site. This week is listed 07:00-2:00 with 12 boats.

I catch one occasionally on a Ned but Jeff was bothered by them all day. He actually caught 3 or 4 on a bass jig. Thankfully they didn’t want my shaky worm.

Jeff met me early this morning. It was 42° and foggy. We worked our way down lake as the fog lifted. There are a lot of floaters some are large logs. We fished all the way to Piney. The water was stained and down right muddy in Piney. The fishing was tough.. We wound up with about a dozen and a half. The largemouth were spawned out. Several of the spots haven’t spawned yet. Jigs and Shaky produced most of the fish. The surface temp varied from 63-68°.

Springfield has had 50,000 people without power. Aurora has closed school today. We’ve picked up, cleaned up and had the roof repaired.

Here in Republic we had two different tornado warnings this morning and lost power about 9. It came back on at 6. There are limbs and downed trees all over the place. We lost some shingles on the front of the house but no other damage that I can find. So how did you folks make it today?

I saw that last year. I was told that it is pond weed. It disappears in the summer.

It was my best day on Beaver. I only caught smallmouth today. Jeff had all of the spots and a big old flathead. Our other option was the muddy slop at Cape Fair. Thanks for the guided trip and a memorable day.
