I have the 128, and compared to my Old Town of the same length, it has its faults. It is quite a bit heavier and thereby harder to paddle. I've also had problems with inserts pulling out of the...

I started tying on a Herter's vise, wow, 60 years ago. It worked well but wasn't "stylish" and was replaced by a Thompson A.

L'il Fishie by Garland or Larew...

Very cool. Lindy makes a line of little feather jigs called the Lil' Nipper. The jigs have painted heads, though, and have more feathers, which condense a bit when fished. They are about all I've...

Thanks! I passed the info along to my friend.

A friend is looking for catfish guides for the Truman/LOZ area. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Your current insurance provider may have a plan that works for you-- it might be more expensive than you want to pay, but until you qualify for Medicare, it may be a good option. Good luck.

I have a Garmin Fishfinder 240 Blue an Airmar transducer. The power cord in relatively long but cut. The unit worked well when I pulled it off my old boat, and it's been sitting in a box since. I...

Just saw your post, and I'll throw in my $.02. We moved to Clinton three years ago, and I'm a happy promoter of the town. It is NOT 20 miles from Springfield, but it has low crime, really low taxes...

I like the fisheng foam boards that fit inside a Plano box. It's a West Coast company owned by a friend, but the boards work very well. Look for FishengProducts on the web.

Over the past couple of years, I've found that I've had really good luck trolling with crank baits that have a UV finish. Recently, I had a great day on upper LOZ using a #5 Shad Rap in the green UV...

Bass Pro 1Source recently posted the first article I've written for the site. I don't normally post links to stuff I've written, but 1Source likes traffic.

We were going to move to KC for the grandkids and looked at all the lakes in the area. Finally, made the right decision and moved to Clinton-- the town and not the lake. We're an hour and change from...

We bought a place on the creek late last summer, so I don't have a lot of info on it. However, it seemed pretty good off our dock, but it was not as consistent as I'd like. I didn't get the big boat...

Thx, Bob and BSF.

A quick question-- how do you prep the blades before adding solder?

Two-inch in that color is a killer for walleyes in the winter...

If you can get marine plywood, you'll find it easier to work with and better in the long run.

Exterior ply works, but both pine and fir ply will check over time. And that requires some...

Supposedly, it already has brush under the dock. I'm chomping at the bit... Unfortunately. we don't close until early August, but that gives time to get the chores done on the house in town. I've...

Update-- Just agreed to buy a place on the upper lake in the Edmonson/Heit's Point area. Looking forward to getting the boat in place and spending time there.

Thanks for the replies and help. We visited the cabin and weren't thrilled with it, but we do like the area. We're still looking, but we're not in a hurry. I'm glad to hear that the upper end of...

We are considering buying a cabin on LOZ in the mile 75 area. Since this is a ways from the dam, is there a lot of boat traffic? How about the irritation level?

Having seen the mess, er,...

I'd look at Xpress as well. I love the idea of having an aluminum trailer.

I've yet to use mine; however, I just wrote a preview on them for a magazine I work for. The basics are they lay flat on the water when you use the right weight and rig them so that they are in...

I've not tried the mold, but I can't imagine the flash would be a deal breaker.

On the Lil' Nasty-- Go to Barlow's; they stock the hook at a pretty good price.

That is inspiration...

Stopped remodeling for a day and took a quick trip to Warsaw, stopping by the area below the dam-- there were a lot of cars in the lots on both sides of the river, and guys were fishing. I'm...

I'm close to getting serious, and the 188 is about what I"m looking for. It's probably a bit out of my range at the moment, but I'd like to know what you're asking.

thanks,

Nice ties...i've used them for trout, but I've not tried them for crappies yet. I've been thinking about digging out my trout boxes for 'gills.
