I have not been down past pt 15 on table rock since about March. Is anyone catching any crappie from pt 15 to piney creek? I have a few spots way up the james I have had success, but nothing below...

Are you targeting channel swings, the edge of channel drop offs or just out in open water. You say on the drop, so are you dropping jigs around timber. Not trying to probe too much, just curious. ...

There are some real good farm ponds over in Illinois that hold some giants. As far as I am concerned, you are going to have to drive a little to get to some good water. I fish Table Rock and it is...

I just installed and used a helix 5 DI/SI and it is a great unit. I also bought a Ram mount to get it above the steering wheel and a little more in my face. I had to drill some more holes in the...

For some stupid reason I went fishing on Saturday. I waited around for the rain to stop at the house, but that did not stop it from raining and sleeting on me all afternoon. I did not get skunked,...

No sir, it was one of those "Fife" characters from the big town of Galena. He sure showed no sympathy, empathy or other words. He was determined to write that ticket. I sent the clerk a little...

I did pretty good on Sat. Got a bit of a late start due to the long arm of the law. BTW, you all better drive the speed limit through the hole in the earth called Galena, MO. They will get your...

We have to get together and share some of those hot brush piles. It seems that where I have had success is in the brush on the upper side of channel swings up James River, generally below the...

I actually caught some good fish below the 76 bridge on Wed and Fri. Did not go Sat. You had to be patient, but I caught several on jigs and minnows. Found some of my long lost stumps on Friday I...

Throw my name in there. I might as well have a little more garland for my Christmas tree.

Hey Kit,

How did you do Sat? I am going to go to the Pt 15 area on Wed, Fri and Sat. Escape the Black Friday madness!!! I am going to go up, to the three dock and some other stumps I have...

I am going to go to a seminar on Lowrance next week. I am not really sure if I like lowrance. I do like the Humminbird system. I am really excited about that winter bite. I think a guy should be...

Hey Kit,
I went Friday afternoon up in Flat but did not go up into James. I spider rigged from the point marker to the opposite buff and in the channel up above the stump on the right. I caught...

I have not tried up in Flat. I plan on going this comin Sat and I will start up around Walnut Springs again, but I am going to do some long lining up the James and in the mouth of Flat. I think I...

Went to the Rock. Caught about 25 but only had 6 keepers. I am really struggling to catch keepers. I tried deep, shallow, open water, around laydowns and stumps. I am a little confused where to...

Hey Beagle, if you can get out there, let me know. I was catchin fish way up James, almost to McCord bend. Those fish were eatin up minnows and jigs alike. I have a feelin if that water temp will...

Had some success on Table Rock Lake the past two days. Caught fish up in the creek arms. Caught many short fish, but managed to put together a descent pattern. Just wondering if anyone has fished...

I get hung on one of those piles above pt 15 about every time I go. I got to go Friday and caught 6 keeper crappie out of about 30 shorts. Got tired of feedin them little devils the minnows, so I...

Hey Red Ranger,

I have been riggin for three years and I have found that placing the sinker on the bottom similar to a drop shot rig is what works best. I also use a VMC drop shot hook called a...

Here is the bottom line. Everyone has had to p while on the lake. Get over next to the bank, and position the boat in an angle against the bank. Kneel down next to the outboard motor and no one is...

Load the boat boys. I have seen 17" of snow in March and days in Dec where a man could go without a jacket. If you do not like the weather around here, just wait about 2 days and I will change.

I am a little late seeing this thread, but I have to tell you DOFC, that part of the lake is honey. I went yesterday to that part of the lake and caught a limit from 2:45 in the after to a little...

Hey DofC,
Went to Pt 15 last Wednesday and caught em. Had 11 good keepers. Spider riggin. Fish was deep. Caught about 21 all together. Could not catch a keeper above the Point marker.

Hey beagleman, Ill do my best to remember your description. I fish out of a blue and silver Ranger 320V with a 100hp Mariner. I will usually spider rig up around pt 15, however, I think I will try...

I have a 597di on the front of mine and I love it. The other day I was spider rigging on a flat in about 18.5 fow and I would run through a giant school of baitfish and as they would swim past my...

Any of those pix looks like the upper end of Table Rock when the white bass start to make their annual run. I was down there fishing from the bank one day and caught 4 real fast and the next thing...

All of this back and forth discussion about the number of rods a person can use at one time is very valuable and beneficial for all fisherman in MO. About three weeks ago when the Stone County area...

Hey DOFC, Thanks for breaking up the ice a little the other day. I probably wont get down to the lake this weekend. A lot to do. If this crazy weather will line out, I think I can catch em up...

I had a 100 hp mariner do the same thing and Ulrich Marine in Branson West got a newer unit off of a salvage boat and it worked fine.
