Congrats. I’m glad someone is getting out there. I’d really like to be pounding the water.
-
When I started tying jigs I didn’t paint them either. I only started painting them when other people started wanting them.
-
The rivers normally warm up first.
-
Anyone been down that way? If so hoe does it look?
-
With all that I am hearing none of us may be fishing for a while. It has come up a couple of feet in the last 24 hours.
-
I’ve seen them all winter long on the Big Sac on warm sunny days.

Sorry to hear about your issue. Let us know when you will be back on the water. I went out of Hartley. I fished to Mutton. I had 1 bite 48 feet down. A crappie on a spoon. I had 4 bites on a dimiki in the 40 foot range but didn’t get a hookup with it. No A rig bites at all. I think I will go back to the rock next time. The water I fished used to give up some good winter walleye but not this time.

My dentist is from Iran.

We shall see what happens. I have had limited success with my under spins on Stockton. Maybe iI need something other than a fluke on them.
-
Thanks for the input. I am not a blade bait fisherman. I'm a spooner but I plan to use the damiki rig a bit as well as some hair jigs. I'll be in he Big Sac.

I have not heard anything lately. Is anyone fishing down there? I want to do some spooning Monday and would appreciate some idea of depths to start looking.

I can only address item #2. When I tie maribou or or bucktail jigs I want a jig with no collar. It is way easier to tie and get a good looking product. The head shape and hook size varies depending on how it is going to be used.http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JigMan/media/DSC00039.jpg.html?sort=2&o=4

Me too. The Ulterra and the options with my Humminbirds is the best set up I have ever had.
-
I applaud your tenacity Quillback. I couldn’t make it that long. I don’t gut hook anymore with Ned than shaky. If you know how to remove them there is no problem.

I used to run braid with leaders. After a couple of years of frustration I quit! Now I use straight braid, monofilament, or fluorocarbon line depending on the application. I only ever use one knot. It is easy to tie and quick. I can tie it in about 12 seconds with gloves on. It is called the 16/20 or Pitzen. I have been using it since some of you guys were still in diapers. https://www.netknots.com/fishing_knots/pitzen-knot

Please fish Stockton and do that with the drum.
-
I don’t know why there would be anything wrong with it. I believe that is the purpose of the forum. By the way those look amazing.
-
They don’t work with Elactech baits unless you put a hole in them first. I carry a small drill bit and a lighter so I can melt a hole in them when I want to use a screw lock.
-
That was a great day. Keep us posted on the chartreuse heads.
-
I forgot to take the new baits with me. The fish were shallow. I wish I had remembered to take them.

It was too nice to stay inside so my wife and I decided to run down to Cape Fair for a while. The roll over crappie were gone. I only got 1 short in an hour so I pulled up and went up river. I fished while my wife read the news paper. I only threw a green pumpkin Zero on an 1/8 oz head. I boated 9 bass and missed or lost 5. It was a wonderful day to be outdoors in the Ozarks.

As long as you cut off the butt end. An inch off the tip will make significant changes.
