Members CBNMO Posted March 20, 2012 Members Posted March 20, 2012 There is a gas/convienience store north of Cape Fair, and west of Galena, at hwy 248 and 173 called Crossroads, Stan sells hooks, sinkers and usually has snagging rods n reels there, plus the general fishing stuff and live bait found at a good country station near the lake. Don't know about the prices ?
Members Jeff Burkhart Posted March 21, 2012 Members Posted March 21, 2012 We snagged 3 sat between walnut springs and point 15 one was 82#.. Hopefully with this rain I can snag some tmrw nite at Longs or even Blunks time and weather will tell. Heres a pic of Saturdays catch
Members Jeff Burkhart Posted March 21, 2012 Members Posted March 21, 2012 If any body snaggn needs sinkers this yr I make 6oz and 8 oz I'll do for .50 a pop let me know e-mail me or send me a message
Seth Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Longs has been loaded with spoons since the first night. The high water will send them fish clear up to lake springfield I bet. Congrats on the 82 pounder. The biggest we got when we were down opening night was 60-65. We caught a bunch of small males for the most part.
Members Jeff Burkhart Posted March 24, 2012 Members Posted March 24, 2012 Me and the boy snaggd for 3 hrs wed nite and not a fish then got a text at 2 a.m. ystrday from some die-hard buddies of mine that they finally made it to Blunks. We snaggd for about 8hrs ystrdy and ended up snaggn 19 fish. Big sows early then all little males till right at dark and the sows moved back in. Not as good as years past and just cant help but wonder if it is even the big push or just an early push of fish because of the flood.. Time will tell I guess. Biggest we snaggd ystrdy was a 76lbr but broke off some HUGE fish! good luck to all and keep me informed how everyones season is going

I was at Blunks all last weekend and couldn't even hit one. Guess I was a week early.
Members Jeff Burkhart Posted March 24, 2012 Members Posted March 24, 2012 We were from the bank. Last weekend they were still down around Walnut Springs and Asher Cain.. We snagged out of a boat last w/e and snaggd a few... To really get into them you gotta wait for that river to come up 10ft or so then they make the push. Over the last 7 yrs every spring James will flood its just if it is still season or not. Last yr it was on Easter Sun when they made there run. Ive got buddies over there that when it floods they stay with the school till they run all the way to Hootn Town. The minute they start hittn fish they call and we head over from Forsyth. Send me private message with your number and I can put you on the spoonie calling list I have created. Same guys every yr and were kinda like a family now. Its good times
