Thanks for the advice I have most of my reels spooled with 15-20lb didn’t want to respool with 12 just for one weekend

Can I get away with using 15 or 17lbs florocarbon for using jigs this time of the year.

Sorry forgot that $175

I started a post earlier asking if fishing Bull shoals would be good with the lake rising. I’m glad I went caught some really nice fish. I got to Pontiac ramp or I think there was a ramp on Saturday about noon started fishing a cove near the state line caught 3 bass really fast a spot a smallmouth and a largemouth all on a bone colored spook. Then the sun came out and fishing got tough had to fish jigs and Ned to catch fish. I found it really hard to fish with bushes as deep as 16’ seemed to get snagged a lot and lost a lot of Ned jigs. Sunday we didn’t get out til late morning had some big rain come through during the morning fishing seemed tough. Monday was better went way up a big creek got into some good largemouth on top water then went and fished areas we had caught fish earlier caught my pb smallmouth 19.5” 4lb on a Ned rig. Which barely beat my other pb from Saturday. All in all good trip stayed at Cactus ridge resort very nice and updated rooms very affordable. Wish I would have packed food for Sunday night and Monday nothing was open close by. as

Ok sounds like I be down next week. Thanks for helping make up my mind. I’ve fished Stockton and Pomme when it’s high it was really tough that was my concern

I’ve got plans on coming down to Bull shoals next weekend Saturday through Tuesday staying near Pontiac marina. Looks like the lake is on the rise I’ve only fished here in the fall. I’ll be fishing for bass what’s everybody’s opinion on if I should change lakes go somewhere less effected by the rising water or will the fishing still be good. Thanks for any info or opinions

I went yesterday the water was muddy from the darn area to around the Robert Allen ramp water temps from 62 to 66 the warmer water was on the north side of the lake in little Indian creek. Sounded to me the crappie were on the banks then moved off mid last week I did see people catching them in the timber. I bass fished from 6am to 11am caught 6 mostly small bass tight to the bank one on a buzzbait the others on a swim jig. The boat ramp was crazy when I took out.

I’ve been down at Truman lake bass fishing the last 2 days caught some nice fish but they are so far and between. Is fishing lake of the Ozarks up near Warsaw worth a shot. Seems like they are running water and it’s kind of dingy. I see some coves and back water areas on google earth. Any info or opinions are appreciated

So I’m guessing that most resorts around the lakes are closed if they are open I don’t know if I’d use them right now and all the campgrounds with Electric tent camping are closed I’m thinking about going to some conservation lakes that do have camping but no electric for charging batteries. I’ve got a power inverter for my truck. Is it ok to charge my batteries off this inverter. I know I’d have to run my truck for awhile but any charge is better then no charge. What’s your thoughts?

Bass Mafia blade coffin made for spinnerbaits or chatterbaits. 6 months old like new. I’m asking $25 I’m in the St. Louis area if interested call Pat at 636-544-5441

I’m a member of Bassholes Bassclub we are looking for some new members. This bass club is out of St Louis it is a draw for partner club we fish for heavyweight, heavy boat and big bass each winning $25 per Each tournament cost $30. If it’s a 2 day tournament you still just pay $30 for both days. It’s a very laid back club more about just fishing not so much about the money. We fish around ten trips a year all over the area some Illinois lakes mostly Missouri lakes some Arkansas lakes. We don’t weigh our fish they are all measured and released then your partner agrees on the total everyone is fishing against each other this makes this possible. We are looking for boaters and non boaters. This is a affordable way to fish some of the bigger lakes without owning a boat. If anyone’s interested give Gerry a call at 314-609-9872

Where do you stay when you go to pickwick? Doesn’t seem to be anything on the lake near muscles shoals. If your fishing down the lake are you fishing the banks or out on the ledges. I’ll be fishing lake of the Ozarks this spring a bunch just looking for something diffrent.

This spring is like to take a trip somewhere diffrent I’m thinking mid to late April. I’m not really looking for monster bass just good bass fishing. I’ll be taking a boat so I’d like to stay within 8 hours of St. Louis. I’ve been thinking about somewhere on the Tennessee River (Pickwick, Guntersville, Chickamauga) or somewhere in Louisiana seemed like there were a bunch of oxbow lakes near Vidalia that MLF fished last spring. If anybody has any suggestions or ideas let’s hear them.

I was hoping to see them fish Stockton, Pomme, and Truman.

Where is Big M ramp Where is Big M ramp

The location on Jordan Lee’s post says somewhere in Missouri

I don’t think it’s a Bass Pro Tour event. I think it’s either a Select or a Summit event they usually try to keep the locations secret until the day of the tournament.

I seen a video this morning where KVD was talking about fishing a MLF Cup tournament in Missouri. Does anyone know what lake or lakes?

I love eating flatheads and blue catfish I just didn’t know what to do with it. I couldn’t get it in my live well in one piece maybe not in 2 pieces. I didn’t have a cooler. I wanted to continue fishing.

Got to 107 ramp at 6:30am ran towards the dam fished points and some off shore structure. Caught a few small bass on magnum trick worm went to Indian creek marina had a really good bass on came off at the boat. Decided to take a ride to the south fork area it was muddy so I ran back to the main lake and fished all the way back into a small creek at the very back in really shallow water there was a bunch of baitfish getting chased around so I threw everything back there that resembled baitfish with no luck. I picked up a brush hog started pitching to some standing timber I felt a big thump then watched my line slowly start moving. When I set the hook I knew it wasn’t a bass I fought the thing for a good 10 minutes it kept wrapping around trees and trying to go under the boat when it finally came up I wasn’t bothered by not having my net in the boat because it wouldn’t fit in my net anyhow. This is my biggest fish I’ve caught on rod n reel. 39.84lbs Flathead. Released in good shape. It made the front deck of my boat into a slip n slide and I think it ruined a fresh spool of florocarbon line I think it’s been stretched to much now it has a ton of memory. Caught a couple more bass. 2 keepers on the day

I fished up there last October we missed the good bite by a week. Still caught plenty of fish almost every fish we caught were out of Lawrence lake a backwater on the Minnesota side throwing chatterbaits. We stayed in Stoddard Wisconsin at Waters edge resort it is about 10 miles south of Lacrosse. It was a nice place to stay had there own boat ramp, restaurant and a bar within walking distance. Great view of the river and good prices.

Thank you I’ll have those checked.
