now jig color didn't matter, depth was 12 ft down in 30ft. of water, had to be moving slow trolling at about 1mph seemed to be the ticket, or trolling crank baits about 75 ft. behing the boat, water looked good not to high, right color, found fish off the bluffs in the flats. some arround trees, didnt matter big or little trees. some were just out in the middle of now where, just lurking about, tizzie I must say the fish were in, well alls well that ends well, thanks again rick appreciate your assiatance.

U Didn't Have To Fight Much Wind???? Wind Got Up By 9am Here On Truman Today...... Glad U Got Into'em....... Broken Key... Have U Ever Had A Really Good Nothing Go Wrong Trip????
A FISH IN THE PAN IS WORTH TWO IN THE LAKE
Nice job Beagle. I fished maze creek, price branch & cedar ridge and it sucked!! Only had two keepers and not even very many dinks. I did lose a monster eye as soon as got him to the top and as I watched heart broken I managed to hang the other three rods up in tree. Just not my day today. I am taking my nephew saturday to stockton and I believe I will fish that side of the lake, any suggestions?
all's well that ends well,,,,,so they say

Great job Beagle. Thanks for the info on your last Stockton post. Just bought some line counters so the info helps. Do you use any weight? I am going to try tomorrow pulling some off the side while we spider rig, thinking I will use some weight because we will be trolling slow. Are you running around 1.5 mph? Sorry for all the questions.

Beagle.....Well I think you had 3 or 4 trips smooth as clockwork. Guess it's about time MURPHY showed up! Glad you were able to flag down some good help. Seems the key problem has showed up here a couple times lately. I'm gonna check and see if I have a spare, if not I made need to get a new key. Glad you caught a few, and still got home in time for your nap.
I just KNOW it was a big one!!!

Thank you, RICK CLARK for helping out a good buddy.
Way to overcome, Michael!
Sorry You Had Boat Trouble But At Least You Got Some Fish!
My key broke off in my ignition Friday of camp. I just kept using the stub part of the key with the broken off part still in the ignition. It was a pain in my arse but it started up for us every time.
