  1. I was talking to a freind who sells some stuff on Ebay. Some where in his dealings, he said he came across a guy in Lebanon, MO who has sold 2,900 reconditioned reels which he purchased at the outlet.
  2. Mostly what you will be seeing is rock bluffs with small coves a few flats and feeder creeks. The brush piles can be anywhere. Some are out in 40 fow on flats some are on points some a lot of them are in pockets. Some of them are placed by the state and should have signs on the bank. However, for ever on they have put out, individuals have put out dozens. You should be able to see the tops of some of them sticking out of the water. I am sorry I can't give you more info. but I haven't fished Bull Shoals in over two months. I have been fishing more to the north lately.
  3. Bull shoals is a tough clear water lake. I assume that you will be fishing out of the lower end. I haven't been below Buck Creek in a long time but nearly every point and many banks and cuts have man made brush piles. I know of one guy alone who has put 800 of them down. I try to find them on my depth finder then use top water early and late over them. I like a Trig salt craw fished through them when there is no top water bite. Other than that I expect you will be fishing deep unless you get a good wind for a spinnerbait bite.
  4. I have been lurking/joining this site for several weeks. It seems to me to be too general in scope and quite dominated by trout fishing. I think something in the general fishing or perhaps bass fishing instead of all the lakes, streams, creeks, etc. would "perhaps" have more input from some us "lurkers/joiners". Am I in this boat all by myself or are there others like me?
  5. I don't know how big your motor is. If you have the range, I have also caught a lot of them around the Fairfield area, in and around the trees across the lake from Indian Island. While you are moving around, don't overlook the O6 area as well. Good luck.
  6. We caught some on the drop on the long campground point at Masters one night but they weren't surfacing. We just got tired of looking and started fishing. We didn't catch a lot, maybe 10-12. I haven't been back there in several weeks. It is too hot to be on the water right now.
  7. I have been looking for them off and on all summer and have never seen more than just a few at a time and only up for 10 seconds or so. I have not seen morning whites at all. I have mostly been in the Cedar Ridge area.
  8. I hope they get it. Those people in Rockaway Beach have been suckin' the hind tit since the riot back in the early 60s.
  9. I believe I would want a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc opinion befor I started eating poison ivy.
  10. If you get it on you, try to wash it off within 15 minutes with soap and water.

    whites

    White bass will hit many different kinds of baits. Some of them include: inline spinners small plastic grubs top water baits top waters with a jig about 1' behind them spoons jigs crankbaits (both lipped and lipless) minnow type baits It all depends in what part of the water column they happen to be situated. They can be found anywhere from the bottom to the surface depending on season and time of day.
  12. I have been a few times to Stockton and Truman. I picked the wrong days for my trips though. I covered the Fairfield to Dam area 6 times looking for any surface action and only found one bunch. A pontoon boat ran right through them and that was all she wrote.
  13. Check you PM.
  14. Phil, If your friend hasn't bought yet, now is getting about the time. In this part of the country if it is not gone by July 4 boat dealers expect to winter it. They will soon be willing to sell for less because they have to pay interest all winter long on something which is going down in value. BTW: I was by that boat dealership in Republic and they still have Princrafts on the lot.
  15. Glad to hear they are still there. I heard about it a couple of weeks ago but thought it might be a water haul since whites move around so much.
  16. A friend of mine by the name of Steve Holland used to live and teach in Forsyth. He caught lots of big bass on Taneycomo at night in the summer. I doubt that much has changed.
  17. I don't understand about the cut offs. Please explain what you mean to someone who knows nothing about zebra mussels.
  18. Hooten Town to McCall is a good float.
  19. I have never camped or fished there. However, I have been there and thought it was beautiful. I plan to make it one of my trips soon.
  20. Are there still any white bass in upper Bull Shoals? I heard that most of them died off a few years ago.
  21. I may get to go to Stockton in a few days. I would like to catch some morning white bass. Is there any morning surface activity going on at this time?
  22. While he is out looking, if he will take the time to look at Bennington and Prince Craft closely, he will find that they are far superior the most of the other brands offered in this area. Also, I recommend that he put the largest motor that will legally fit on the boat.
