Never give up!

Went for a few hours and fished one cove (in my small boat). The water was 71-73 degrees, level was high of course but not too muddy in the cove. One guy at the ramp said he only caught one. Another...

Yeah right, how convenient. 😄😄😄
Kidding aside, congrats on a great day and thanks for the report.
I hate fishing after long heavy rains (except for cats) but it's still better than working.

This ^^^ but teach wife first and if the ramp is busy tie you boat off out of the way so others can use the ramp while you're parking.

Years ago I had a color hummer, don't remember model, with a quadrabeam. Recently I got ahold of a XTM-9-QB-90-T. And bought a 788hd ci. It had downvision but wasn't quadrabeam compatible. Just got...

Went there today (Fri) males and a few females are starting to be on banks. Not aggressive, I didn't have live bait but caught 4 females 2 in 8 fow, 2 on bank. A dozen males, a few were dinks.

I was there looking for a house and talked to a few that were fishing. They said a couple of weeks ago they were slayiing them below the dam but it's slowed down. A couple guys at the marina and were...

Thanks for the reply hdnntr.

Nice catch, congrats. What was the water temp at t hill?

Clay county somehow managed to encompass the lower 2/3 of the lake with parks and there are no Corp's boat launches. Here are the crook's outrageous fees.
Smithville Lake :: Clay County, Missouri

Does anyone have images of similar trees with and without fish for comparison ?

Does anyone know if you can use a light underwater now in MO or does it still have to float?

I've been considering one for awhile. I'll buy one by spring, keeping an eye out for a used one or a good rebate. I realize they're expensive but so is going to the lake. If it can make my days more...

Thanks all, now I think I'll try to wait till winter/spring. See if they have a new and improved or some rebates. They came out with the UHD 6 months after I bought my 93.




Yes it's the...

I fish a nearby lake with a katrillion trees in it. I'm looking for an electronic upgrade to help save me time finding trees with fish on them. Yes I can narrow it down using mapping and drop offs...

I've had the best performance and not babying by using AGM batteries.

The Mo conservation used to be the best but not anymore. Their arrogance- never admitting their mistakes and their constant patting themselves on their back is only a small part of their fall. I...

pony doesn't have anything but little-dinks in it. where are you out of kc?

I had 3 opti s; they were lite in weight and did not run as long per charge. My battery dealer told me they have a lot come back. I went to the AGM 10 or so years ago and won't buy anything else. I...

I've owned the 47 but sold it to try the 797. The 797 with a thruhull ducer didn't impress me. The SI helped me FIND structure when it worked but the 47 helped me fish it better. I got a great deal...

99% of all thieves are lazy and stupid.

"1600 items"

The sad part is the law seldom catch anyone unless they get a tip or just dumb luck. Many times they don't even investigate, just make...

I thought that point was rocky? I know I have never seen anyone there in the spring. maybe there are too many crappie guys fishing that time of year. next time use the mobile phone and call them in...

i like to fish points when they let water out. good luck and you all have fun.

My bro and I were fishing from a canoe in the early spring and saw a "free" bobber. leaned over and yes, 2 wet cold azz men in water minus small tackle box for a 49 cent bobber. canoe was sold that...

When there is a breeze the Inflatables will move all over the place. check out port-a-botes that may be a good solution.

YES, buy the $3.50 bottle. I swear by them. pour out 20 or so and leave them in the sun to dry while you fish so they stay on the jig hook better.

Unless I'm casting I almost always use them. If I get bites without a nibble then I'll quit. Every once in a blue moon they seem to slow the bite. They are a 1000 times easier than messing with...

good luck and be careful.

Thomas Hill has excellent crappie fishing and very large ones at that. I talked with the conservation guy from kirksville and he said it's one of the best lakes because of the shad population. We...

I had a roof repair job in the city and stopped by burtons bait on my way home. I seen the mo con fish bio for smithville and he said the crappie were on the banks. I stopped by with my collapsible...
