Just thought I better create an account and get to talkin. Born and raised in the Ozarks and love to fish James River. I use a river jet boat and love to catch those big smallie from Hootentown to Galena. This last year, my daughter caught one just over 17". I just started a bass fishing club at Branson High School and I am excited about getting to take some kids fishing. Most of my fishing is on the Rock and I spend most of the early spring "soremouthing" the white bass and crappie but then I generally switch to mostly crappie as the spring wears on. I do fish for bass in the late spring and summer. Just a comment on the blog about the size of the bass in Table Rock. I have fished the lake since 1985 (could barely hold a rod then, too young) but this last year I caught 4 or 5 fish that were in the 5lb range and one that was approx 6.5 lbs. The lake has never been in any better shape than it is now. Very few fish have sores on them and that was common place 15 years ago. I urge all of you to take care of the lake and the fish in it. Leave it better than you found it and release those line touchers. They will grow. Take a kid fishing. The survival of skills and the fishing sport depends on you. I am an avid lure maker and love just about everything there is to love about fishing. Just wish they made a majic potion to get my wife to love it as much as I do.
