Seth Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I know a few of you mentioned in another thread about going down tomorrow. I'm just following to see who is still on and who isn't. Sounds like me, dad and my father in law are going down for the buzzer. We'll be somewhere around the cleaning station and the river bend near back parking lot when the buzzer goes off. Just checked the forecast and it looks like it will in the low 40's and windy. Might have to dig out some gloves to protect those hands.
JestersHK Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I had to push work to tomorrow so I can head down to taney this weekend... Super bummed I'm gonna miss combat fishing with you guys...
Seth Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 I'd much rather fish Taneycomo anyways. Are you fishing from a boat? Sounds like they are going to be running water hard to try and get caught up from all of the rain they got last week. Hopefully it flushed a lot of that muddy and trash out of the way by now. Fishing last Saturday in the Elfrink was a freaking mess and the fishing was horrible. You know it's bad when very few limits are weighed and you get third with a measly 6.10#! JestersHK 1
sms_alum Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I should be down there for the morning. I’ll look for you. I think I would recognize you from some of the trout tournaments. Any idea if they have any flooding? The meramec near my house in Eureka looks pretty bad.
Seth Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 The James Foundation Facebook page says it's slightly high and murky. That's fine with me! Last year after the flood hit, we experienced some of the best trout fishing I've ever had down there. The fish were slamming jerkbaits and spoons in that high dirty water. I had one that day that was 17" and shaped like a football. It wasn't quite 3#, but I know it was 2.5#+.
Seth Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 I'm swinging by Walmart to pick up a GoPro hat mounting kit so I can sport the GoPro tomorrow. That should help me stand out a little bit.

jdmidwest Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Screen door, private parts, slamming motion would be more fun than trying to fish an opener ever again. I have not done one since the 90's and those were not done sober. I can't take weekends any more till about 11am.

Haris122 Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Even though it's nearing 2am, I'm still hoping to make it down there in the morning sometime.

Good luck to those of you heading down later today. I'll be out east until next Thurs , but can't wait to read about your successes and near successes.
