Tight to brush I would say. Live bait for me.

I saw on bucksaw's site that they thought the lake is starting to turnover.. didn't think the lake was cool enough yet, but what do I know!!

[beagle man]

don't think it will change much, water is still warm, the fish may move out a bit, but will be close to there normal areas, the high pressure may send them a little deeper on truman, Stockton and Table rock I think will be the same, easy at times, tough others, so if you can go GO, if not i'll go and tell you how good it was...........

Check out South Fork web site. They had 2 1/4 inches of rain yesterday. Lake will be rising.

Just checked forecast again.. wind gust up to 20.. if it lays down maybe Saturday afternoon..

Dress appropriately, drinks lots of water, wind dehydrates you even if you aren't sweating.
Some of my best catches have been under less than desirable conditions. Wind and wave action often stir things up and IMO can initiate a feeding frenzy. As long as your boat can handle the wind and you are comfortable with rough water GO. Above all, be safe. practice your boating skills before trying rough water.

I'll never own a boat without a windshield and given the money I have spent on rain gear, should consider a full canopy
