What you all seem to fail to remember is that this is a privately owned site. Phil can do whatever he wants with it and restrict what ever he wants to restrict. There is way more latitude here than on other sites from which some of you have been banned.

They went above and beyond for me yesterday. They saved me money and got a new charger headed my way. Thanks to Scott, Brad and Lake.

They seem to have a pretty good one going. I just ordered a spinning reel and saved $85 over Bass Pro. I also ordered a rod and saved $35.

These guys are getting cowboys and goat ropers mixed up. Goat ropers do have women friends. They are called “Yee Haws” and do drive the trucks.

It for sure was a great day to be on the water except for the start when it was colder than a witch’s heart. Ice kept freezing on my line and rod eyes for the first hour or so but other than that it was a great day to be out. Thanks for the trip.

Bill I totally agree with you. However, it looks like we may be in the minority. I have the name of the biologist who is pushing this if you are interested in contacting him.

Where are you getting that data? I would like to read the research on this as I seem to be in the lucky minority.

Never

So how often do you guys change plugs? I changed mine in the Opti every 100 hours and got 14 good years out of it. So that would have been 8 sets.

Please check my post in conservation issues and respond. Thanks

I heard yesterday that there is a movement to reduce the size limit to 12”. Please indicate your opinion by a simple agree or disagree. I would like to know how other Ozark fishermen feel about this.

The weather was nice today at Cape. Those fish have moved so we found slim pickens. The water has really warmed. I found some 48° water at School House.

If you know Scott Robinson, I bet he has one.

Is there a way to do a poll here?

Good day there guys. That area sounds somewhat like where we found them at the Rock. Jeb they wouldn’t hit the spoon when Jeff and I were out.

Some good looking fish there. Is the lake colored or is it just the way the light is hitting?

I too thought he might be running some. It doesn’t matter now because I have an appointment with Marine Repair to move some stuff around and install and wire the 100 ah lithium to my 3 Solix units.

I only weighed 1 and it was a full pound lighter than the one I weighed with Jeff. There are no dinks in this group.

I got to go back yesterday for a couple of mid day hours. They were still liking Ned but they also wanted a pumpkin seed tube. I had 18 before the wind started howling.

Thanks for the report, however, I don’t think I have a couple of months. My house battery setup is dying.

Depends on water clarity but in general green pumpkin, Alabama Craw, California craw and Yoga pants are my favorites.

P B and J is my least favorite of the 22 colors that I have.

Yep there is no “what was that”, pause and rewind in person. Besides tickets are 8 grand and up. I could buy 2 new Humminbirds for that.

Who’s running them?

Jeff met me this morning at 07:45 at the Cape Fair ramp. It was 31° and foggy. The water in the cove was 35°. It was 39-41 on the main lake. The water is dingy to dirty. Below Wolly Creek before you get to Carney Branch the lake was covered with ice. I didn’t see any sign of any other boat having gone through so we made a path. We fished several different ways, the places that produced and had a 4 1/2 hour skunk. Going for broke we hit something totally different and it worked. In the last hour and a half we caught smb, lmb and spots. All came on Ned in 27-53’. We wound up with 35 at least 20 of which were keepers. The fish of the day was a 3 1/3# spot. We had several others very close to it. This is the best January day that I can remember.
