An Outing on the Insane Upper End

Good to see you get a couple, looks like they are pretty healthy.

Nice looking fish rps and thanks for the report..

I have fought the urge all last month to go fishing just knowing what was in store for me. All schools around here should be in session by Wednesday..

As I grow older I get grumpier and since I carry a fire arm that I would be in trouble..but on the bright side there would be a few new artificial reefs for the fish to call home....lol

 

pretty sad when a normal fishing boat is not safe to be in on the water, and the safety issue is not weather related.

the big boat owner on a public water said "I can't believe someone is out there fishing in a row boat".

More and more frequently I think to myself ... Aren't you lucky I can't cull you!

I know, really. My little boat may seem like not much to them, but to me, it was the largest investment ever for my hobby. I just want a fair share of the water.

 

Was out until 11:45 ish this a.m. just below Piney.  Couldn't stand up in the boat any longer and decided to put it on the trailer before my 12 year old or I got hurt.  43 years of fishing TR and I've never seen it like this summer.  Written my letters to $Long, $$McCaskill and $$$Blunt along with making my views known (politely) to the Corps and Water Patrol.  Hoping everyone else has also.

How in the world they allow massive cruisers on a lake like TR is beyond me. The wake board boat chaos was down right nuts.  Cutting in front of one another, not paying a bit of attention to what was going on around them.  NOT one sign of the Water Patrol.

Fishing was fairly good on 3.5" swim baits and spoons.  4 nice keepers with a total of 16-18 fish on flat points near deeper water.

Fall fishing is just around the corner 

Some one said they had record breaking boats sales this year..don't know if it is true or not....but it sounds like it...
