There has been lots of discussion lately about keeping fish alive in derbys and such. I was just wondering about installing themometers in my livewells for helping to keep fish alive and well. My question is how much or how many degrees do you drop the water temp in the well to help the fish at the safest level? How much ice do you add and which chemical do yall use in your wells? Do the weight you add to fins eliminate "fizzing the fish"?

I was wondering how much of a temperature drop is needed in the livewells (ie adding ice) to help the fish. About what temp do we need to keep the well for the best results?? I was thinking of installing a thermometer in the livewells to help with keeping my fish alive. But how cool is to much?? any thoughts

I attended the seminar in KC this weekend and it was really well worth the time and money I spent to get there. Doug went into such detail and showed some really neat things to those in attendance. I learned more in the few hours I spent than I have in two years on my own using the trial and error method. If any of you get a chance to see Doug give a seminar I highly recommend it. It will be well worth your time as he has a lot offer, and was all free. Thanks Humminbird and Thanks Doug. TR

So it appears to me that every time a weather forcaster predicts rain fall we should just on a whim lower Table Rock to say 893' so as to prevent a FLOOD. Then when docks are on the ground and boats cannot find a ramp that is useable then everyone would feel the Corps Did the right thing. I am sorry for the sarcasim but, when Mr Lilley gets on this forum and says they did the best they could considering the situation, and might I remind everyone his property is underwater, I think we should have considered the other options like people who are dealing with complete towns in ruin and underwater. I am Sorry Nitroman is having issues with the job the Corps did. I am also extremly sympathetic to Mr Lilley and other along taneycomo on the fact that I know what it feels like to have to clean water form everything you own, It makes you sick. I do believe that the intentions of the Corps is to keep every business and home along the White River basin safe and dry, but man cannot control the weather,and neither can the Corps, all we can do is deal with what comes. Just the opinion of someone who has had to deal with flood waters before. TR

Foz I had a problem like yours also, I bought an optima gel 31 series starting battery it fires my two stroke 175 merc and runs graphs light and aerators and never given me a problem. Pricey yes but itg wont ever let you down. Had them in both my boats. Cant go wrong IMO TR

Captn Don Sorry to hear your wife has had some issues, I hope the lord blesses you and her with his healing hand, as well as your entire family. TR

Bob My fishing buddy and I are bass fisherman, we know little about catching crappie. his apprentice likes crappie fishing, but he is from minnesota. So we agreed to take him and his wife and daughter out fishing, we are also taking my fishing buddies daughter and son out. We are fishing from 2 boats so we are pretty flexible as to location just need some hints on what to throw and where to throw them. Minnows jigs worms just something to get lines stretched. Thank You for all your help in advanced. thanks TRanger Timmy

Poor techo,they seem to give you a pretty hard time. I think they are just jealous of the fish catchin machine us nixa boys are TR

YOU CAN DO THIS JUST WATCH YOUR WIRES DONT TOUCH AND KEEP THEM IN THE SAME LOCATIONS THEY CAME OFF OF

I know your a crappie expert I was wondering if you would help a guy out bringing a couple of kids crappie fishing out with a couple locations to just get their lines stretched not super exact but just some areas to start. I am going to be around ruark/ mutton but could go up to cedar ridge if that was your suggestion. I would be happy to talk in private so as not to divulge the secrets you give out so kindly

Bill's fish is bigger if that counts for anything. Congrats on the great weekend Mr Beck.

I am gonna guess 8.15 lbs

That helps alot thanks straw you have a great weekend also. TR

I was heading to Stockton on saturday to take my Dad out fishing and was wondering about the water colors in the greeser and sons creek area. IE colred clear stained muddy just what am I geting into up there with the rain we had this week?? We are bass fishing, and I was figuring on a point bite with wart jerkbaits or jigs n grubs being the best ideas this time of year. thanks for the help in advanced tr

State record came from Table Rock 3-17-04 5lbs 10oz Mark Fann Nixa MO

I caught one on Table Rock around the Long Creek area about 2 years ago one evening on a chaurtreus chatter jig. Fought like crazy. I may be wrong but I think the state record came out of Table Rock.

Champ Sorry but I kinda gonna borrow your thread, I was wondering about long creek or state park area launch conditions If they were useable yet?? Thanks TR

Here is a phone number that might help 1-417-336-5083 Table Rock lake level

So Skeeter this snow amount was directly your fault huh. thanks lots man

Remember our fees only cover april till october when they close the parks because peoeple dont use the facilities then. HAHA they maintain and remove snow then. hahaha

Great story, we have all had those kinda days, but we all go back dont we?? How is the finger???

I agree TFO rods are really nice. Gary Loomis helped design them. You can also get them locally at The Anglers Edge in Ozark 581-FINS. Ty is really helpful also. TR

Has anyone been bass fishing in the last few days and are you doing any good? Ideas needed headed up Saturday. thanks in advance.

I have been searching for a bag for some time and found it this weekend by accident at Cabela's. It hold 7 370 boxes and comes with them. It was on sale for $29.99 had pockets zippers and all kinds of storage. I still dont know how well it will hold up yet but for that rpice the 370 boxes are worth the risk. It appears as nice as any I have found and I have looked for sometime to find what I wanted. Lots of tackle room padded strap and places for extra like pliers scents and the stuff you need for a day of fishing out of someone elses boat. It was green and black with red writing on the front. regular rpice was 59 or 69 I cant remember. But was a really nice tackle bag. The price made it even nicer. TR
