Fished pool 17 Sunday. 3 fat 11" crappie, 2 bluegill, 4 LM, and a nice SM (my 1st). Tube jigs. 1st time out with new boat.

Rathbun 6/4. Lots of dinks, quite a few "take a 2nd look" at them, kept 12 nice ones. Had 1 on top that would push 2# but couldn't get her in the boat. 80 + water above the bridges and dirty.

The Corp site has been saying 54 deg. I couldn't believe that. Took the 3 hr trip to find out for myself. Glad I did.

7am water temp - 65.6
2' over norm
Main lake - murky+
Cove temps - 68 - 71
Cought at least 100 dinks
Kept 12 - 15oz-1# 2oz
On the banks
ALL males

Been watching the Corp's lake info. Has anyone been on lake with a water temp? I can't believe it's been 54 for 2 weeks.

I agree Dennis, EVERY snake is a potential man killer!

I got one of those tickets on Mark Twain last year, I just filled out a day pass, put $3 and the ticket in it and dropped in the box at the ramp. Never heard anything more. I know where the park lot...

You are probably right on the location, after re-reading the Register's report, I was referring to what I was told by some of the local folks. They thought it was to be built along the road, around...

From my understanding on where this stuff is going to be located, you can't even see the lake, however it is close. I don't think they will allow homes, private docks, and the like, on, or near the...

Thanks Tim, VERY tough with all the wind that day. I was out of battery by noon. I really was supprised that the 1.55 # held up. We had 4 of them on Friday. Good luck at CAST Classic. talk when you...

maybe next year! :([/QUOTE]

Burk, this next week to 10 days will be fantastic. You won't regret it if you can work things out. :D
Roger

thanks, will talk to Larry. We need Mark Twain in too. Just got up, glad I'm not having to fish in THIS wind.
Roger

Tim/Burk. just came from Rathbun. Crappies are Very CLOSE but not quite. Main lake is clear and 64. I didn't get on the lake til 10:30am and got blown off at 2pm. It RAINED so hard. By about 1pm I...

Burk, it ALWAYS rains and storms at Rathbun.LOL Just watch the main lake should it get real windy out of the south. Lots of ramps around the lake to get out of the wind. For a 1st timer, head to...

That's enough! :mad:

Come on guys, lets play nice. Things are getting too personal and we don't want to lose the tone of the valuable information we get on this website.

thanks for your cooperation, Roger (Jigman)

Tim, we are going to do Cast, CUSA, and Crappie Masters at Rathbun. Wife just give me "the eye" on back to back to back tournaments. I told her since Jacob's a senoir this year and off to college...

Tim, looks like you had a good show at Lake of Pines. Too bad about Milwood. Hope you get back in the water soon. Good luck at Eufaula. We aren't going to get out much til the Rathbun tourns. (might...

Went to Odessa today. I wanted to run some stabilizer through the motor. The water temp was 57-58 deg. I got into Yankee after "slithering" through 1'-1.5' of water. Yankee had 3'-5'. Couldn't buy a...

I took a drive Tue by the lake on the way to work. Looks like it could use some more water but it wasn't as low as I'd been told. I drove to the upper pipes. LOTS of water coming in. Nobody fishing...

thanks Herb, if you hear or see anymore, give me a haller. I'd like to slip over to Rathbun or Mark Twain, soon as I get caught up cuttting wood (as if THAT'S a possibility).

[QUOTE=TAE73]Jigman,


Hi, Rathbun was awsume last spring. We haven't caught fish like that for several years, both in size and quality. My son and I got 3rd and big fish (1.74) in CUSA tourn in...

Hi guys, We hit Mark Twain hard in the spring and a bit in the fall. It's about 3 hours for us. Roger

Herb/Tim
What's going on over there? IDNR report says Odessa's "full". The guys at work say you can still walk across it. Is it full or is it as full as they'll let it get? Finally getting...

Could anyone tell me about the crappie action in the fall on Granada? When? I'd like to bring my son down to see if he can put one "on the wall".
thanks Roger

Hey thanks for the info. my son and I are going to fish a Lions Club crappie tourn on Sat. Glad to hear about the gas price. I don't think 9/10" fish will do much in tourn, but if we can't do any...
