MDC still has the opinion that MO fishermen aren't smart enough to tell one species from another. That is why we have a 4 over 18" limit on stripers, whites, and hybrids. My opinion is if you are going to keep it, know what it is or be prepared to suffer the consequences.
-
That is a good conversion. I used it for over 300 wpts and they were spot on.

Upper James River (Blunk Hole) Whites Biting Again
Dutch replied to duckydoty's topic in Table Rock Lake
Down town Galena. -
There are 3 marinas and numerous launch ramps. You prolly should go by the COE office and get a map of the lake and the launch sites. I tend to use them all depending on time of year and wind speed and direction.

Still available.

Eating Fish From Springfield Lake
Dutch replied to Tim Kav's topic in Fellows Lake, Springfield Lake, McDaniels Lake
Above the Spfld. sewage dump I'd eat them then go way down stream like to Ashers before I'd keep anything. -
Fronts tend to move them out and back down. I'd start at Kdock and work up if it were me.

I'm going to have someone in Jeff on Wed. Check your PM for a phone # and we'll see what we can make happen.

Shipping could get a little tricky with the rods and waders being so different. You live a long ways from me and I can't do Paypal. Would you be willing to meet some place on I44?
-
Depends on your location. If you are in SWMO we can meet someplace.
-
Wait a few weeks then use a jig or slow rollin spinnerbait.

I have 2 4'9" HMG rods that have never been fished. They sell for $99.95 each. I'll take $100 for the two and throw in a pair of size 9 chest waders. They are just too light weight for my needs and I bought them from Fenwick sight unseen. I think they would be excellent crappie rods or even creek and river rods. I might be able to return them but don't want the hassel right now in my life. So anyone interested?
-
Most of mine are home made. I keep them in the see through boxes from BPS. I stack them on their sides and label them for easy use.
-
My thoughts are 3 nights before, the full and 3 nights after if you can take being up for seven nights in a row.

If you buy a Wally world battery you better check about the warranty first. In lots of stores around the country they have no warranty anymore. That being said get 200 reserve amp batteries keep them charged up and keep the plates covered with distilled water and they will last for a good many years. I normally give mine away when they are 4 years old and buy new ones and they are still going strong.

As of yesterday the COE reported the lake at pool. Where is your bud trying to launch?
-
Hey man you can take your design and your jig to any machine shop along with a do-it blank mold and they can make anything you want. But be sure your wallet is full. The last time I tried it they wanted $500 for tooling the mold and I passed on that one and made my own.
-
I rarely buy any baits. I make most everything that I use: spoons, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, craft hair jigs, rubber jigs, bucktail jigs, stick baits, bass tubes, slab busters, swim jig trailers, and on and one.

A rectal thermometer should do the trick for you.

Phil, I was in no way taking a shot at you. I was just stating my opinion about pre spawn fish and know a lot of people would read your thread and my statement would have greater exposure here. I'm also opposed to people bed fishing for blacks.
-
Bill that is also my passion. I fish a lot for them on several different lakes and Yeah well that is what they thought about Bull Shoals until 2002. I still say put the spawning females back. To give you an example in March 2001 I caught 2800 whites bass on upper Bull Shoals. In march of 2002 I caught 500 and in March 2003 I caught 100. Then I quit going down there unitl last year when I had 3 weeks of good fish and then dinks. I haven't been this year.
-
Some of you guys should be thinking about the future and turning those female back so they can spawn and make more white bass or the years to come.
-
Well, I'm glad you are still here. Stockton had been really bad to me for some time and I have switched to TR and chasing whites up the James.
-
Thanks for the report Hunter. I haven't seen anything from you in so long I didn't think you were still around.
-
I have them all and I do them all. I can't tell much difference especially with the new bands that don't rot like they used to and are twice or three times as fast to make.
