I am the only person that fishes TR that has never caught a goggle eye, not one ever.  But, that is certainly a biggun.

Venture away from the upper end once in a while and maybe you'd catch one. I'm actually shocked with as many days you're on the water you haven't snagged one. That's mind-blowing being as they are fairly abundant in TR.

Would assume they are similar to smallies in the fact that they are natural stream fish and like the gin clear habitat like that of the dam area. In April sometimes it can be hard to keep them off your Ned type junk. They love the where the rip rap ends near the spillway over there by Moonshine.

That end of the lake is just too far for me to travel, even to pursue the mighty and elusive (for me) goggle eye.

I know there are some on the upper end, and I agree, you'd think the Ned would've picked one up for me by now, heck I have caught several trout on the Ned.

I believe it's mostly what area of the lake you fish. I have never caught a trout and fish the upper White often, also fish dam area a bunch and have caught many goggle eyes.

Sometimes you just gotta get lucky.

I will get you down there in goggle-eye land someday. Need to take you down there on a good jerk bait trip in the winter but you just don't catch many gogglers that time of year. I haven't caught a ton of them myself coz of  my river roots but the ones I have caught seem to be from KC downlake and very available in the spring months.

You river rats just stay up there where you are.....don't need you tracking mud down here in our nice clean water. Plus jerkbaits are for jerks and don't work around the dam anyhow.

Hey, don't look now but I think Florida just scored another pick-six off your boy Drew Lock.

Our friendship is over. You have any garlic scent? You already poured all the salt in the wound.

Lock stinks. I've had some rather heated debates with some of my Mizzou buddies on Drew is a Lock2Suck and his prospects going forward. They see it, I don't. I suppose Odom sees it as well. I must be developing cataracts at a rather young age or something. Or maybe that is Lock who can't see when the lights are flipped on, on Saturdays.
