  1. I always sight in at 200 yards. That way I may be a bit high at 100 or less but can comfortably take longer shots.
  2. You may want to call COE or State Park and check on the curtesy dock situation the way the lake has risen.
  3. I can do line # test but don’t know about diameter. Ill see if I have it.
  4. There is going to be water coming down the James also. We have had 6” of rain at the farm south of Hurley in the last 4 days.
  5. They would definitely feed us with some left over. Nice looking specs there. So has muddy water made its way down to Hawker? I just can't catch fish in cold muddy water. It is a bit early for me to be down by the dam but warm weather may put me there looking for greenies.
  6. I had planned to watch March Madness. Now I am watching birds in the back yard fighting over worms. So far the score is Cards 4 and the Jays 2.
  7. These fronts can really mess with prespawn whites. I’ve seen a front come through and cause them to turn and head back toward the lake. All but 1 of the whites that we caught Friday were heavy with eggs but did not look real close to spawning.
  8. My wife has walked most of them while I was out fishing.
  9. I cannot catch fish in cold muddy water. I was on fish consistently in the James till muddy water came down last week and killed the bite.
  10. Some one must have we struggled in muddy Son’s Creek for 2 hours this am. Not a bite so I headed up river. Stopped on a couple of points and caught a dozen close to spawning female whites. We never had a black all day. Man that ne wind, cloud cover, and temps in the 40s did a number on this old body.
  11. I moved my operation south for the winter. Table Rock doesn’t treat me so bad in the winter. I do plan to be on Stockton maybe SonsCreek tomorrow.
  12. May be the same one I saw too far up Turkey creek by the bridge.
  13. That’s probably right but plane is too fast to dodge stuff. Besides the last time I tried it was with a guy who said he knew just how to go. That little trip cost me $800.
  14. He may have been. I don't know anything about river levels. All I know is what I read about lake levels. My boat won't go very far up a river.
  15. Welcome back hope all is well with you. Bass reports have been slim on this site.
  16. Perhaps we aren’t talking about the same levels. All I know about is the lake level as reported on USGS.
  17. Level holding around 870. I plan to go Friday if they don’t get too much rain down there.
  18. I use heat shrink tubing The Mud Hole. I like the red/black best.
  19. I’ll know for sure after Thursday. I’m really getting tired of Arigs and shaky.
  20. They have them out at Lew’s. That is where I had to go.
  21. I saw water temps from 47° to 54° above Cape Fair today. I think I will wet one Thursday.
  22. Little Sac is fine. Main lake moss. Price’s branch no moss.
  23. Same for drop shot. Long before the term came about we were using a jig below a worm instead of a lifeless sinker.
  24. Dutch

    Hot and Cold

    It wasn’t the cows lying down that caused the fish to not bite, they do that when they have a full belly. A well fed herd of cattle will lie down by 09:00. They have 4 stomachs. They regurgitate their food and chew their cud while in that position.
  25. If you want to get really confusing, add cover into the mix.
