Bill Babler Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 looks like I will be at TR this weekend after all. Will be staying at Shell Knob at a friend's place. Not sure I can get him up and around in time to make the take off, but would love to meet some of y'all. Are you using the ramp where Big M is located? Thought maybe I would stop by afterwards to say hello. If I am able to get him up and around, are you "taking entries at the ramp" on Saturday morning? Anyone that can be there at anytime please come on up. There are no entries and no fees, a trophy will be awarded for the big fish and we may have a couple of more goodies to give away. After the weigh-in there will be chili/mac and hot dogs a plenty. All, are more than welcome. We will start sending boats out at 7:30 and weigh in your biggin at 3 PM. 1 fish per fisherman but you may fish as many folks per boat as you wish. Here is another tip, we will not weigh in a fish for every person if it is clear that your fish is not as big as one that is already been weighed we will not subject the fish to that humiliation. In other words we are going to be as kind as possible to the fish. I'm guessing it will take something in the 3.5 pound range and above for consideration, so please don't give just any keeper a boat ride. I'm sure it has other plans for the day and if possible we will want it to carry them out. I have been fishing everyday almost and I'm not catching any big ones yet. ie (May not mean a thing, I never catch Big Ones.) Maybe just me but there were not a load of giants weighed in the CPA. Going to be a similar type deal with us because we are a single bait derby. 3.5 to 5.5 will be the key. You get a solid 4 pounder and you got a shot.

willyfish Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 What is considered a big largemouth for that stretch of water? I know long creek and up the James are out of play. Just curious, never spent much time that far up the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 From the Kings River upstream I consider any fish over 6 a big fish. Any fish above 7 is worth bragging on. An occasional 9 or 10 happens, but certainly not every year and never to me. I moved here in 2002. In that time I am lucky enough to have one over 8 and another over 7. The good news is that it is a rare year I don't catch one over 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 What is considered a big largemouth for that stretch of water? I know long creek and up the James are out of play. Just curious, never spent much time that far up the white. Would not be any worse than running it the other way around. Really on TR I think any fish over 5# has a chance at big bass on any given day. Lot of times it will take more, but that is kind of the line. Something 5# and change, 21" or so.

Bill Babler Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 As Dave and Randy said there are Big ones swimming those waters. I had several on an Alabama rig up there in the 8 pound range last year. There are 5 and 6 pounders to be caught and it happens everyday. As I said before, a solid 4 banger on Saturday will get quite a bit of attention. It is also very possible that a Big K or Jaw could take the show. Lots of Jaws up there in that pushing 4 range, and you saw the K's I caught on Monday with at least 1/2 dozen 3.75. Fun will be had by all. Good Luck Muddy Water 1 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macsimus Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 While I am greatly anticipating the thought of winning that coveted trophy tomorrow, , I'm looking out at the lake currently and I can't see it due to some really dense fog. What is the plan if we wake up to the same tomorrow morning? "There was a time that I didn't fish, but I cannot remember it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac River Jim Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Bill I'm thinking the same way you are I think a solid spot like you caught the other day might be the ticket but my question is are they gonna stay deep in submerged timber or are they gonna make a move. the rain is going to trigger them but when. I'm going to go to a couple my old spring spots for K's start deep and work up till I find them. Fishallday18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 While I am greatly anticipating the thought of winning that coveted trophy tomorrow, , I'm looking out at the lake currently and I can't see it due to some really dense fog. What is the plan if we wake up to the same tomorrow morning? We'll still do it, may have to stand around and wait for the fog to lift. Looks like there might be some rain early, but it's possible that may get rid of the fog. If you are late for the take off, you can still be part of the tourney, so don't feel like you have to rush if it is foggy in the morning. Just be back at Eagle Rock by 3 PM for the weigh in.

5bites Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 If it's possible I may have to pick up a hitchhiker or two later in the day. If it's drizzling in the morning I don't see the wife wanting to do cartwheels to the boat early in the morning. If that's not cool then that's ok. I'm positive my oldest son will be there short of it raining fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
