The whole lake is muddy. The Linley arm is muddier than the Pomme but both are really nasty looking.
-
Looks like chocolate milk.

I knew a guy whose family put him in the CCC because they needed all the help they could get. He used to tell me stories of the work that they did at Roaring River.

Yes they do but it will be hard to get them with the water in the brush.
-
Give it a couple of days then the rivers will begin to clear up.

I night fish a bunch but not this late in the year. My night baits are spinnerbaits, jigs, and plastics. I have friends who use cranks at night but I don't want all those treble hooks running around after dark.

I'm guessing that with the economy like it is, the average red neck is poaching more deer than usual so we may be luck to see anything south of Springfield this year.

You better check the battery to which the unit is attached. If it is going bad and voltage drops those units shut down.

Tubes aren't that hard to make. All you need are some rods and plastisol.
-
I make some of my tubes but those I buy come from Fin and Feather in Spfld. They are down the road from Bass Pro on Campbell St. They also have a website called Ztackle.

I sure do hope that my avids have lifetime. @ $160 per they better have. And I had to have one replaced last year and the cost was $20 did they go up to match Gloomis?
-
I sometimes put the round heads in a vice and smooch the sides in a bit more like an asprin. As far as a mold, you should go to the Do-It web site and see if they make what you want. For hooks the best deal around is Shorty's Hook sales. He has lots of brands. Basic powder paint colors can be bought at Harbor Freight Tools Sales for $5 per pound. Otherwise Protech will sell to you for $15-20 per pound. For the thread and maribou check with Tim's fly shop and Back Country Outfitters.

I own only Shimanos. If you want Chronarch level then get the Stradic 2500. I have 4 Stradics and wish all of my beaters were them.
-
You would have to look at the Branson West/Kimberling City area or north there is a motel in Republic and Aurora.
-
Several of the tournament fishermen that I saw today were throwing white buzzbaits. I didn't even tie one on. My fish were about 15' deep.
-
The last time I was there I spent a few days and the bite changed every day. The weather went from cloudy to very sunny and the fish went deeper and deeper out to about 30'.
-
A couple of weeks ago there were some up the other arm around the McCracken bridge.
-
If you want the weight inside the tube you can use a bell sinker. Just run the hook point through the eyelet and it will be held in place above the bend in the wire next to the top of the tube. You have to put the sinker in the tube and kind of feel around with the hook point to get it into the wire hole. Translucent tubes make this job easier.
-
I have been on them for quite a while but I used to float both and they had a lot of log jams on them.

Charging Deep Cycle Battery?
Dutch replied to oneshot's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
There is a unit called Stay in Charge that can allow your car to recharge your battery while on the road. http://www.stayncharge.com/products.htm -
I am off Monday and Tuesday so I'm going one or both of those days. With this front coming in tonight and clear skies ahead I'm definitely going to tie on the jigs and plastic maybe even a spoon.

That is called time on the water and learning what the fish tend to do given different weather and water conditions. What part of the lake were you fishing? What types of points were you hitting? There are two things that I have come to take as gospel when it comes to fishing: 1. If you are running the bank, most of the time 90% of the fish are behind you in deeper water. 2. 10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish.
