Cape Fair clarity is just the way I like it, about 2’ of visibility, It was a plastic dink fest for us.
-
I’m heading down there this morning. I think I will go down to start.
-
I guess none of the locals are on here now.
-
Yes they had one. That is where we locals met tourist girls.
-
I was at Stockton Lake yesterday and could see a little change in the water color around Rouark Bluff. The Sacs were running muddy from the recent rain. I know Springfield and Ozark got quite a bit of rain also. I believe Cassville did as well so Flat may be rolling. Has the James been muddied up? If so has it reached Cape Fair yet?

Cope Marine at Reeds Spring and Whites Marine at Pittsburgh are the two area dealers. I don’t know about the current situation but it used to be the case that Lunds weren’t ordered with a trailer. The trailer was ordered separately from a different company. If it were me I would ask them about buyers who live on the lake and don’t have a need for a trailer. Lots of people have trailers setting around with the boat in a slip.

Thanks for the info. I’m heading down there next week. I’ll have to give it a try.
-
That's interesting about the plastic. I've never really been able to catch bridge fish on plastics.
-
So I assume that you know that a lot of the coves especially up Lindley are covered with timber just under the surface like Haverstick, the Doc Bailey coves and Cooper’s Cove.
-
Why are you asking about them on a Crane Creek topic? Do you believe that they are in it?
-
I don’t know how far down the go. They go at least to the confluence of Crane and Spring Creeks because they come up Spring to our farm near Hurley. My information is old as I quit fishing for them a long time ago.
-
We normally have them in the bull pen in the slew in Bland Spring.
-
I have never sees a rattlesnake in Stone County. There are plenty of cottonmouths. Up around the Wire Road access there is public land and some below Crane. The rest is pretty much private.. There are several bridges where you can gain access (Swinging Bridge Road, Langley Ford, Doc Eaton Road).
-
Have you been to Pomme de Terre?
-
It has been up all year. It’s about 3’ high right now. I don’t normally go up there except spring and fall looking for whites and eyes. With the resurgence of whites at Pomme de Terre I may skip Stockton this fall. I need some fillets for the freezer.
-
Yes unless you change companies.
-
I never try to run the channel. I run the fields and can skirt the channel bends on the outside.
-
My thought is, it is a pita to switch companies. They have to shut off you gas and run some tests. That means redoing pilots and getting gas back into the lines. I did it one time. That was enough for me.

Our farm house is oak framed. The floor joists are full 2x12 oak and haven’t moved over 60 years. The roof is straight as a string. The barn is hand hewn 10 x10 mortise and tendon oak cut off the farm. It is circa 1898 and standing tall.
-
I buy my scissors in the sewing department at Walmart. They are super sharp and cheap.
-
You just keep telling yourself that and don’t bother to fish where it’s windy. Me I’ll take a good strong fall wind blowing from the same direction for three days and enjoy myself whether the food chain is there or not. By the way the wind moves the algae. The zooplankton, shad and shad eaters follow.
-
I’m guessing it is the Hwy 7 bridge.
-
If the weather works out I plan to go back down on Monday morning. I have made some baits that may be a better offering.
-
From what I saw yesterday morning I’m sure that they will be. I got a late start last fall and only got to go twice, not like when I used to camp at Dam Site for several weeks and fish for them every day.
-
I put on backing because sometimes I have several setups with braid on them. I tie them together and put a piece of tape over the knot.
