SKMO Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Phil, since you asked so nicely I guess I can break the ice and answer publicly. As SKMO I am not an Eskimo as some have asked but live in Shell Knob MO on the Kings River between Viola dock thd the island. I have fished literally all my life and have photos of myself at age 3 holding a stringer of fish in MN, so I was raised right in a fishing family. Now at an age where the first number is a 4 but will be a 5 fairly soon, I have lived and fished around Table Rock since 1989. Love fishing for anything but spend 75% of my time after bass, remainder on whatever might be hot, even if it is bluegill in midsummer. On a crappie blast right now. 95% of my time on TR. I launch maybe up towards 100 times/year on the Rock even if it for just a couple hours. I generally fish from Baxter upstream and know the upper White and Kings pretty intimately, and am still challenged as to how to catch them most of the time. I make one "big trip" a year somewhere else which is generally Canada or MN for smallmouth but swung a 3-week trip of a lifetime to Alaska in 05. Float a 20' Skeeter and love to fish with old buddies and new friends as well. I try to learn something new EVERY time I am on the water so really like fishing with experienced people, but what gets me off is taking out folks who are a bit inexperienced, especially younger folks, who ask good questions. Just love to fish and the bug seems like is not going away which is fine by me. OK I have bared my soul, are you all satisfied?

SKMO Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 No kidding PTL, I thought it would never rain! Fire danger should subside for a few days.

Randall Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 how much rain did you get down there? enough to change fishing conditions next week? Cute animals taste better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKMO Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 how much rain did you get down there? enough to change fishing conditions next week? Seems to be .75 to 1.25 in south Barry County, most effect on Kings will come from Berryville and south in the watershed. Just checked Corps website and the Berryville guage went from about 60 CFS to 190 CFS coming up about 0.6 foot so far and rising, but probably not much more, most will soak in. I can guarentee that this rain will improve fishing conditions, unless they deterioriate, but I think they might remain the same, and I will stand behind this prediction. Guess I got a mean streak in me this afternoon.

Members Pete Posted March 10, 2006 Members Share Posted March 10, 2006 Since I am somewhat a neighbor to SKMO, I guess I will introduce myself....I am from Cassville MO. Fish Roaring River once in a great while, Table Rock about 10 times a year. The rest of my time allows me to hit nearby creeks in search of smallies.....However, I am originally from up north, where I cut my teeth on farm ponds and Stockton Lake.....I teach and coach high school kids, am married, and have 2 young kids, a boy and a girl, ages 2 and 5. My five year old girl likes goggle-eye fishing the best....There, that was pretty painless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
