9/23 anonymous cove with green roof dock

[m&m]

I took a neighbor fishing on Thursday for a couple hours. 8:30am - 11:00am. He is a fly fisherman and wants to get into bass fishing so I decided his best chance to catch something might be that anonymous cove. I caught a nice 3lb smallie on a c-rig creature off the gravel point. We had a couple of blow ups on a whopper plopper. I taught my friend how to throw a bait caster so it was a good day. I did leave a little something in the tip jar. WT was 77.

Mike I got out super early. 6:15.  Buster Loving beat me out. Said his client caught some walleye while it was still dark. 

I fished Spring Branch. Started with a plooper and got nothing. Went to a buzzer and then slowed it way down with a Spro frog. Nada. 

Switched to a Berkley Surge Shad fishing it thru tree tops, really slow. Had 4 Monster blowups and either I or the fish missed them all.  One was a big LM, he missed it twice and came clear out both swing and miss. 

Ended up catching 4 jaws 2 keeps on a 3/8 pigsticker. 

Back on the trailer by 9.

 Mike - nice report and you must be a great teacher if your friend was able to pick up a bait caster and not have a "professional overcast" the first couple of times....

Sounds like fish may be transitioning...but if Bill struggles.....I am not sure what to think!?!?

But I am envious of the both of you...

A question - if everyone knows about the anonymous cove is it really anonymous? Just asking for a friend...😉

Well, I'm not familiar with the anonymous cove, not really interested.   But the "tip jar"  does peak my curiosity.

For those not familiar with the cove or the tip jar, I’ll let the caretaker provide the information. 
Bill, it is definitely that time of year where “right time, right place & right lure” is necessary for the short feeding cycle.

C4F, I do have the patience to teach, but most of the credit goes to my friend who is also left handed so no need to switch hands during or after the cast. 
By the way, catching or casting aside it was a beautiful day to be on Table Rock Lake!

Thank you for the donation. The dock is in need of some repairs and with the cost of lumber every bit helps. You're a good man.

Alex on the other had is all take and no give. Guy owes for about 7 years in back taxes or "membership fees" to Unsaid Cove.

For the rest of you, if you appreciate using Unsaid Cove, the tip jar is in plain sight on the dock. Don't be stingy. Due to the lack of donations this year I had to cut back on "Defense Spending". I friggin' had to resort to buying some slightly used and damaged Blackhawks, AK-47s without triggers, foggy night-vision goggles and tanks missing a tread or two from the recent weapons cache that the Taliban somehow acquired.

abkeenan you are not doing it right....to get the good stuff you need to call the cove not to be spoken of a separate country...we would then ship you everything that you need to sustain yourself and your infrastructure. 

That way you wouldnt have to put up with the hand me downs

Maybe it's time to cut back on weaponry to defend Unsaid Cove and revert to sheer manpower. With our present border defense that is softer than an Aaron Neville love song and open arms for any and all refugees from around the world, you could probably assemble quite an army.

Our lawn doesn't have any grass to spare with thousands of newly acquired "Cove Commandos" trampling it all down. Time to have a meeting with Unsaid Cove Members and see if we can't raise the Defense Debt Ceiling to get the things that we need to protect this cove that is the Opal of the Ozarks.
