We did not get to fish all day due to some work interruptions, but it was all good. We stayed in touch with friends and compared notes all day, That allowed us to make adjustments except that I just did not want to throw the A-rig like they did, LOL. Following are pictures of a jig fish caught in Mill Creek, A spinnerbait fish caught in the Kings and an A-rig fish caught in Big Creek. Water temps hovering around 50 degrees.

Stupid work.

You are flat killing me with these reports. Better not let Champ see that one with the blade stuck in its head.

Too late, Dave. I have come and I have seen.. Actually, I have one tied on for our Beaver derby tomorrow. Couldn't stand it any longer.

Good luck tomorrow. Should be interesting to see what the weather does, and when.

Absolutely fantastic fish. You all got around from the Kings River up to Big Creek and Mill. Those are just fantastic results. What were your numbers and how muddy was the Kings?

How big also was that A-Rig Fish, it looks like a giant?

Thanks for the fantastic reports you do. It it is wonderful to see you all hoisting those big LM.

We started at Mill Creek and picked up 8 quick fish, most just short of 15 inches, with the best being Lily's at 4+. Those were all on chunk rock 15-20 ft. Very mushy bite.

After a work " break" we ran up on the main lake by Point 21 and picked up 4 keepers on warts casting to about 10 ft off the bank. They all came off some cover like a brush pile. Our friends were working from Baxter towards us and we met them at the mouth of Big Creek at about 1:30. The A-rig fish was almost 8 lbs and came amid a 6 fish, 4 keeper run by counting the rig down only a few seconds in a cedar filled pocket.

I was throwing my custom painted PBJ wart and lost it when a fish took it into a tree and wrapped me up. So I came up blank during that run.

We had to take care of some other problem and went back to the house. We had just gone back out about 5:00 and were checking our friends progress when he suggested that we try the blade shallow in the dirtier & warmer water. They had called it a day already. I caught a 16+ in LM and then the big one several cast later, that was 8.5 on my analog scale. I'm so darn big that the fish are dwarfed some times, but both were nice.

Today, Lily made me fix the clothes dryer while she and a friend went to the Branson Outlet Mall and then I

fixed the exhaust manifold on my 1970 IH truck. A haircut and a Tommy Dog were mixed in there somewhere. We did run over to Mill Creek for about an hour this evening. We caught 3 very short ones on a Ned rig.

Headed back to the city in the morning but hope to be back late Wednesday, God willing.

Great report Danger! We were out on Friday as well (I think we may have run into you guys in the back of a small arm) and picked up 20+ largemouth/Kentucky and one giant crappie. I had one on a wiggle wart, 14 on a McStick (sexy shad colors) and my dad had three on an A-Rig and the rest on another McStick. Most were shorts with one 4lb6oz bass (really long) and the 15-16" crappie coming on the McStick.

It was only our second trip to TableRock and we had a blast!
