Thread: Heading to Rathbun this weekend

so when I called you sat I should have dialed ext 39.

actually I think it would be deep 69 extension. Ive done the same thing at least twice and acouple other times where it wasnt my fault. Thank god I have insurance on my cell. However Im not smart enough to run a BBerry I hope you had it backed up Brian.I'm headed for lake tommorow. Will give an update later.PJ

I just hope none of those crappie are using all of my minutes!!

Good luck Cory...

I am going to Lake of the Ozarks this weekend, but I will be back at Rathbun in in two weeks. Should be good timing. Might go out after work this week too. I sure hope the water clears more around Bridgeview, they seem to be pretty scattered right now.

I have insurance on the phone, but of course the phone is backordered.

Great post...you guys are giving me the fever. Hope you have a safe trip to the Ozarks.

Actually had a great day for size but not numbers.I fish a little deeper water and ended up with 10 good fish 1/ 12" and the other 9 were 13 1/2 to 14 1/2 inch females. Their eggs have a long ways to go yet. Now we're getting alot of rain which will mess with my style of fishing but benefit the guys that like the shallow stuff up stream. We'll have to see how high and muddy it gets.PJ

Anybody make it out this weekend? Looks like the Lake must have missed most of the rain Friday. Hopefully things are clearing up a little?

I'm planning to head over on Friday for the first time this year.

Wife and I are heading up the 6th for the weekend. Camping at Bridgeview, Dodge pickup (Mo. plates), Lund Rebel boat w/Johnson outboard. Stop by if in the neighborhood.

Just FYI:

I heard 12 mile was on fire. A good source said they caught 100, kept 40. I Fished Roberts Creek last Sunday most all day and caught 2, both deeper. But one was 15"! That was fun.

Anybody been on the Lake the last couple of days?

Sounds like we may be getting some more rain?

Can't seem to get a break.

Was out there Saturday, it is as muddy as I have seen it in a while. A lot of bedris in the water also. Water temp is 57-58 range. Current level is almost 915. I know I am not popular in my stance here, but anytime the level is over 912, I love it. It just needs to clear up a bit. We are forecast to have 80 degree temps most of the week. Barring anymore rain, next weekend should be decent. The water will clear up slightly, they bite just fine in muddy water (my experience) you just have to hit them on the head. This is why I prefer high water I think, I tend to fish a lot of heavey cover, veritical jigging. The higher the water the more cover available to spawning crappie.

As for saturday, action was slow. Going back out today, starting out later, had some rain this morning.
