Members Whiskey Joe Posted May 20, 2012 Members Posted May 20, 2012 Got out for a morning yesterday. What a day! Water was just right & enough fish to keep us busy. Best was an 18+" Smallie, also a 16", and a 16" Drum. My buddy even caught a Rainbow. And on the way out, we messed with a Black Rat Snake (I kinda like snakes too). Everything worked out nicely. Buzzbait was fairly productive. Best was my go to bait, TUBE! Love that river! Enjoy the pics jcarterpe@gmail.com, BURBIS license plate Canoe, jug of water, fishin buddy, & couple of fishin poles and I'm good!
Greasy B Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Those are some mighty fine fish. Congrats. Catching a rainbow is pretty rare, did you have it for dinner? Chance are slim that it will live much longer unless it finds some cold water. I think there is a spring branch up from myers that is stocked with rainbows. I recall someone telling me about catching rainbows below it. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
ozark trout fisher Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Nice! An eighteen incher on the Bourbeuse is a pretty special fish, plus a rainbow. Sounds like quite a day. I'm planning to float it and fly-fish it this week, so good to hear it's fishing well.
MOsmallies Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 That 18" smallie is beautiful... The 2nd one (I'm guessing the 16") looks like a hybrid (Smallmouth x Spot). Great pics and thanks for the report! Paul MOsmallies
