Out and About!

[jdmidwest]

Day one, Current River from Doniphan till 1, then the Trump caravan came down river. Had a nice little walleye and several bass on tubes an a drop shot worm.

Looked at upper North Fork and Theodosia arm.  High water whacked that area good and all looked closed.

Camped at Table Rock State Park for next few days

Neighbor is afraid of dark. Fking light show over there.

The rest of the story.

That camper glowed till the late hours of the nite.  He spent extra for the track lites along each edge of the camper that moved in a light show and the flood light package.  Probably cost him a few extra thousand on his 144 easy payments at the dealership.  But a few Cobra Scares Beers and I was able to sleep.

Tried to launch the next morning at the Table Rock State Park ramp.  It was closed for some Bass Pro Function.  Took a little cussing, but they let me put in, had to drop trailer off at campsite and park rig at Marina.

Cloudy, cooling off, misting rain, and front rolling thru.  Few bass were landed around the points.  Best came behind a tourney fisher on a tube.  Not mine, none for me in the back of the boat.

Fished later at Taney and only caught one trout.  Moss was floating everywhere and making it hard to fish.  Leaves and debris kept choking up the jet pump.

Missed Phil at the shop, he was out fishing.  Place looking nice, best on the river.

Pulled out on Monday morning and headed back to Current River.  Caught this nice little walleye that afternoon.  Ended up with 45 assorted bass and goggle eyes on Tuesday on a nice fishing day.  Most were short fish, but lots of fun.  Had the river to ourselves.  Nice camping weather this trip.  Enjoyed the ride.

Who caught that one?

[jdmidwest]

My buddy caught the bass Sunday off a timber point near the camp.  There was a tourney boat fishing in front of us as we rounded it.  Big tourney out of Rockaway beach was what we were told.  Just 3.5 lbs

Out of Rockaway Beach on Taney?

[jdmidwest]

The Park Guy point to the area across the dam and called it Rockaway Beach.  What is the area on other side of dam from Table Rock State Park?  There were trailers all the way out to the road there when we went to drop in a Cooper Creek.

BTW, Fall Creek is about the end of full blast running in a jet boat.  Idle speed only above there.  Prop jobs clog up the channel.

Not sure what they call it across from the dam.  Used to be a campground I think.  I'm sure somebody on here will know.  Trailers out to the road at Cooper??!!!  Crazy.  Yep the guide boats sit in the narrows like they own it.  I pick my way through and take the dirty looks in stride.

I’m not sure but I believe that is Old Highway 86.
