Members timr0123 Posted October 11, 2013 Members Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks for the info. I checked the Chamber site yesterday to see if there was any updates, but I must have been on it before hand. Thanks again for posting.
Sprint21fter Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Does this mean that the ramps are back to being opened? Heard that there was a cable strung across the road at H-Hwy at big indian.
Pepe Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 So how was the tournament? Good turn out? I haven't heard any news.
ozarksfishin Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Turn out was prett good. Great tournament as always with awesome dinner afterwords. We ended up winning with just shy of 16lbs and second big bass. Second place was Don Berry with just under 13lbs. Caught our fish relatively close flipping docks.

Champ188 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Ah, the old fall dock-flipping bite is on. Love it! Funny story ... Donna and I were up there several years ago fishing the Champion owners tournament. We typically struggled in that deal but this particular year the dock bite kicked in just in time. Found the pattern Thursday and spent Friday searching out all the right docks, mostly in the Kings. Felt progressively worse Friday afternoon and by 6 p.m. I was in bed at Schooner Creek Resort with every blanket we had over me. Had come down with the flu. Being hardheaded, I insisted on fishing the next day. Still running 101-104 fever, I did my best but it took a real toll on my normal accuracy. I chipped the paint off a dozen jigs by clanging them off every boat lift and dock post in the Kings River and beyond. Ended up with three keepers that weighed over 11 pounds (yeah, the size was right) and lost another half dozen in that same size range. Should've had 16-17 pounds, which would have been right at the top of the leaderboard. Against my will (sort of), we were packed up and headed home before dark ... Donna having ruled that we were NOT fishing the second day of the derby. Probably a good thing since we ended up at the ER the next day to find out I already had pneumonia. Anyhoo, congrats on the win, Stone. Love that dock bite!
Quillback Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Champ, you are one dedicated bass fisherman, fishing whilst coming down with pneumonia - Holy cow!
Fishin Hodge Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Good job Phil, What did it take to draw a check?
