Not that it is any consolation but my wife got one of those last Saturday because she was parked on the line of the spot. Sorry it happened to you as well.

On a brighter note, is the fishing...

Fishing below the dam has been productive for us recently but there have been a lot of people there.

I haven't been on the lake in 3 weeks so no real help there, sorry.

We fished a few hours on Saturday and only had two fish both caught by my 8 year old daughter. She had a great day and it was nice to get out.

What Bruce said is dead on, probably 2 weeks until things get real good. Of course I will be there fishing this weekend so if you see a black & silver fish-ski with 200 Merc and 2 small kids holler...

N2,

We fish the dam area, all my fish were within a mile of the J bridge. Sorry, didn't go this weekend, not sure how it was.

Fished Thursday to Sunday, lake is still dropping a foot plus per day. Limited two plus people each day within a few hours, lots of 10+ fish and some 12's thrown in each day didn't keep any less...

Thanks for the other pic.

I saw those pics and have many like it, just would like to see some others if anyone has them since I won't see it in person again until Friday.

Also, I would assume the carp are getting up there...

Shaveme,

Do you have anymore pictures? I would like to see them, they have really upped the flow since yesterday morning.

Jolle,

Main lake was still fairly clear (for Twain) yesterday, fished below the J bridge Saturday and Sunday. Easy limit on Saturday, Sunday real slow and tough to get under the bridge. It is...

As about now we have a new record at 639. Fishing was pretty good on Saturday none the less. They are getting ready to turn loose of flood gates and let it out.

I just want to hop in here and say thank you to the two guys who pulled me, my wife plus our two little ones in Saturday after my outboard decided to take the day off.

Fishing was OK, less than...

old fuzzy,

I don't think that fishing has been tough at all for midsummer. The biggest compliant I hear is from people who either want to pull up to every tree in the lake and catch fish or that...

There is Simpson lake in Valley Park but I wouldn't go there for a day of crappie fishing if I was going to go that route I would head to Busch Wildlife. There are some other small lakes that have...

There are a few lakes in Illinois that are an 1 to 1 1/2 hours away. The next closest would be Mark Twain then followed by Lake of the Ozarks. Sheer number of fish would probably go to Twain with...

It doesn't seem possible that anyone would want to come to Fenton, MO to fish. I leave there to fish :confused:

N2, it really wasn't bad at all. My daughter who is 6 and has no patience what so ever was catching fish handily. I am in a black, red and silver Astro fish and ski w/ a 200 Merc. It usually looks...

Just figured I would stop in and say we had to good days this weekend on MTL. Fished Saturday evening and Sunday after lunch; fish in 15 or so feet of water in 30-40 foot deep water.

Not nearly...

The biggest cut back for me will be deciding to make the 250 mile round trip just for the day which equates to $50 in my truck. We still spend a couple of weekends a month at the lake but I don't...

I have never had any real luck at Simpson but have caught some really nice smallies at Johachum (sp?) in the DeSoto area.

I was taking a stab at his reasoning, I am pretty sure I am missing part of the equation so hopefully he will chime back in with an answer.

I think that Deadeye is referring to flow not necessarily stage but I could be way off base. It is not so much about the water level since the fish will spawn no matter how high or low the water.

Thanks, I read the report and it appears that there was someone with him which makes it strange that he was under water for 10 minutes.

What a tragedy!

I caught the end of it on the news this morning. It seems a 79 year old drown yesterday at MTL, does anyone have any info? condolences to the family.

Where at on the lake? Fishing was pretty good Saturday 2 limits of 10+ inch fish. We couldn't buy a good fish yesterday, though the fish are still full of eggs and seem to be prespawn still.

I never unplug but used aquarium sealer the last time I sealed my lights and have no problems at all.

I wear Oakley half frames which are smaller than the M's and like them a lot. I couldn't bring myself to pay $250 for another set of Maui's.

Bugman,

Call Tristate Trolling motor, they are in Florissant, MO their number is 314-921-7292. I am not completely sure if they ship but they do good work.

Really I am surprised it was only 61. Rumor has it they wrote a ton of open container tickets a Spalding beach on Sunday but that is just hear-see.

Most any good DUI lawyer can make this go away...

Sorry I should have said Fishmark, I wasn't very specific. Color is nice but I haven't found it necessary personally but I have older electronics and still use a flasher a lot.
