Moving some stuff around in one of my fishing gear closets, I found a LOWRANCE transducer that George Robinson had built for me a few years ago for vertical jigging. It is a puck style that can be glued down or put on a trolling motor. It has a black connector which limits the range of units that it will fit. If you have black connectors on a unit and want it, it is yours. Just let me know.

Thanks. I was at Cape Fair and the water was 48°. A 10° difference is quite a bit. Maybe I'll keep going to Cape until we have some warmer weather.
-
What kind of water temps are you guys seeing down there?
-
You are so right. I only make the run if I am looking for white bass or shallow crappie.
-
I use either a 1/16 oz head or 1/8 oz head and a 2/0 or 4/0 Gammy hook with a swim bait or a fluke.

Bo I totally understand what you are saying. When I was a kid I fished Flat Creek a lot. It was very clear and you could see everything that they did. I once watched a large hybrid at Truman come up and take a gizzard shad of about 10-12 inches by the tail. It just held it like a cat will do a baby rabbit. It let it go and when it tried to swim away it grabbed the tail and hung on again. This happened another time or two then it turned the shad lose and swam away.

I probably make that run from Mutton Creek to CC around 20 times each year. The most serious shallow water is above Springfield Cove. I don't run much over 40 mph because of all of the switch backs which at least double the distance. One can only follow the fields and stay away from the channel because that is where 90% of the trees are located. I spent a few minutes with google maps and got 16 miles from the dam to the Hwy Y bridge.
-
I think you are way underestimating the distance. It is close to 15 miles from Mutton Creek by water to the CC bridge as shown on my trip meter.
-
I'd say it is a bit less than a 40 mile boat ride from your CC to the real CC.😋
-
It is a few miles east of Greenfield off Hwy 160. Your best bet would be to look for it after you pass the intersection of Hwy 160 and Hwy 243. It is actually the Greenfield area but right at the CC bridge thus most of us refer to it as CC.

Pre-Rapala V63 Green Craw Wiggle Warts
Dutch replied to Icehockeyplayer's topic in Buy - Sell - Trade
I have some of the original ones that I bought in the 70s. I wonder what they are worth? -
Wrench I believe that is on waters where length limits apply. stuart I believe that could get someone a ticket.

twenty bucks for the lot? -
Nice. I wish I could have been out today but was traveling back from Louisiana.

The ramp at Beaver is supposed to be looked after by MDC. The closest guy to do that is like in West Plains. He told me to feel free to hook a chain on it and pull it up or back into it hook up a chain and push it out as I saw fit. That was several years ago when I fished down there a lot. As for River Run the COE told me that it would never happen because it would be a night mare to care for.

Question – How much does Outboard Motor Noise affect fishing?
Dutch replied to bobby b.'s topic in Table Rock Lake
I used to fish with a guy who would go roaring down a bank pull up and fish back. He said that it would wake them up. -
What part of the lake?
-
I have no idea. I quit using the electric fence wire because it had to be reshaped after every fish.
-
I have 1 now paired with my MK trolling motor. I want to remove a Lowrance in the console and replace it with a second Solix. Are there any issues running 2 of them networked?
-
Money arrived and unit shipped.

I have not been finding an early morning bite where I am fishing up the James. There is a little water color and there really isn't deep water. I am finding that I have to try a lot of water before I find a productive place. For example a friend and I caught 35 on 1 stretch a couple of weeks ago. The last two trips it has only given up 1 fish each trip. I had to keep moving to find fish and as the water has cooled each trip the fish are getting fewer and fewer.
-
What part of the lake were you on? I am older than you and I just suck it up and throw the A. A couple of Tylenol before and after helps. This time of year I do better up in the rivers than main lake. I live close to Cape Fair. I was down there Saturday and Monday. The total count was 11 and 5 so not so great for me but it is still winter.

Go to the sewing department in Wal-Mart. They have some really good ones that are knife sharp.
-
I'll get back with you when it is out.
-
They aren't much. This is just some electric fencing wire with some Bondo poured into a mold and some blades and heads. Later I got some real wire forms when Battlefield Wire was in business.
