Anyone headed down this weekend?

I've been in Hannibal all week slaving like a dog and I decided I need to go fishing.

Went to the park Saturday afternoon and ran into my good friend Jeff Tiefenauer and his wife Susie. Susie was busy catching several fish and Jeff was camped out on five lunker fish located in a deep hole. Now that the water is down and summer clear, those fish are starting to show up in about 7 to 8 foot of water. Over the course of the afternoon, Jeff hooked up with 3 of the five. The largest being about 9 pounds. Some really great fish for bssp in recent years. I was wet wading yesterday and the fish were alot deeper than I cared to venture out. So this morning I packed up the waders and headed back to bssp. Two of the five fish were all that I could locate today. One was a brown about 6 pounds, and the other a rainbow around 5 pounds. I fished for the brown with no success but later in the day I hooked and landed the rainbow. It weighed in a little over 5 pounds. All fish were released unharmed and allowed to return to their deep water hideout. With all of the high water that bssp has had this summer, these fish in the deeper water have seen very little pressure and are fairly easy to decieve at this point. As the water continues to drop out and clear, these same fish will wise up in a hurry. Go deep and go with dark colored sowbugs and scuds. I was fishing a 15 foot leader with two #6 split shot.

I didn't go so I can't tell you too much. Maybe next week after I pick up my new pop-up camper I'll get back to you on my report.

Pat,

I bought a Rockwood 1980 10ft Pop-up. Its pretty nice to me. Power lifting system,A/C,heat,heated bed mattresses,1 piece door,bbq grill that attaches to outside, awning, 3-way fridge. I didn't want anything too big for my dinky underpowered 4.0 Ranger. It should do me pretty well. I looked around for a deal on a used one but finally caved in and bought a new one. I go Friday to pick it up and maybe head down to Bennett or Montauk. As soon as I get it I'll take a few pics.

I'm back in Hannibal MO till Thursday on a job and I head home that night.

Talk at ya soon,

Rich
