We are at the 46 mm

We were at the cabin last week and the water was very dirty up our way. Only fished off the dock but minimal action. The water still seems very high for spring so my guess would be that they will...

Prayers sent from Illinois and will re-send from Missouri when I arrive at the cabin tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,

I am on spring break next week and I will be down to the cabin to open it up for the season. From what I hear it has been cold and wet and the water is very muddy. Anyone been on...

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Our extended Huskie family is large and we will get through this in time.

Hi Everyone,

It was a crazy day today. I work at Northern Illinois University where there was a campus shooting today with 5 students killed and 17 injured. I can't imagine what it was like for...

Hi everyone, I am Joy. I don't post much but read what you all are up to 1-2x per week. We have a summer house on the 46 mile marker of LOZ. We live full time in the western suburbs of Chicago but...

I quietly read and learn from everyone hear and it sure has helped my Crappie fishing when we are down at the cabin.

Thanks for your help everyone. Have a safe weekend!

Hi All,

Has anyone been out on the lake. Just wondering how much crap is floating around with all the water coming in/out with Truman and Bagnell flood gates open. I was out in the boat last...

Have any of you who fish LOZ seen any clear creatures floating around that look like jellyfish. At first I thought it was a big wad of clear caulk or glue that someone threw into the lake so I...

Thanks for all your replies. I can't wait until the weekend.

Hi Everyone,

We are heading down to the lake this weekend and staying through Memorial Day weekend for some much needed R&R. How muddy/stained is the water with all of the rain you have been...

This is a great place at the 33 mile marker of the osage arm off F road and accessible by the community bridge. Lee Brennon is the owner and I think they have a website at www.sunsetinnresort.com.

I agree with the tomato juice. I could list a variety of smells it works on but I will leave that to the imagination. However, I will say getting sprayed by a skunk was not as funny as it sounds.

We will be opening our cabin in about 10 days. Are the Crappie biting? If so, on what and at what depth. Thanks!

McCormick makes sodium free seasoning for all types of meat (beef, chicken, fish) They are actually very good.

For baked fish try cooking your crappie in tinfoil out on the grill.

For...

I don't contribute much but I love to read the threads and learn from you all. Thanks for maintaining this website, I appreciate it!

I agree with B&P Hickory Pit at LOZ.

Jack,

I need to give you a call. Our lake house is in Laurie and I can't wait until we open it for the spring. Chicago is very cold at the moment and thinking about fishing is making the days...

orange sherbert, lime sherbert and black abyss.

I am a physical therapist and you could not want a better job. I love learning about fishing from you all. Thanks!

Can you get the slabbusters on the internet or at any of the bait and tackle shops in Laurie or Sunrise Beach? I would love to try them this spring when we open the cabin.

We were down at our place before the storms hit last week. I was catching 10" - 11" crappie like crazy in about 7 feet of water over cover off the dock. I was using blue/green grubs topped with a...

Great job taking your daughter fishing. I loved to fish with my dad and miss him everytime I go out. Also, great job on picking her name. I am a bit partial since Faith is my middle name. Keep up...

We have a 25 foot voyager. Ours is set up for cruising but they make some great fish and cruise models. We have a 150 HP on ours but I think the boat is rated up to a 225 HP. Voyager is a small...

Anyone been fishing the upper osage? I hope I can get a few days of good fishing in while I am down at the cabin next week.

Thanks for your input. It is appreciated!

Wow, that is a nice fish. I can not wait to get back down to the cabin!

Hi,

Could someone share what type of filet knife sharpener they use. Also, how often do you sharpen your knife and what sharpening technique do you use. Thanks a bunch!
