I've got a little 15' Lowe mod-v with a 25hp Evinrude. My first boat ever, bought just last summer. Fun little boat, but cramped with 2 adults fishing & don't both y'all be trying to lean over the...

Awesome. I will do that.

And what he said. I didn't mean to come across as such a Debbie Downer. I know I'd be over the moon to limit out on crappie.

Not sure Live Scope's in my near future, but I've got a Garmin UHD 73SV to mount & figure out. Oughtta be a quantum leap forward over my current method of burning gas & beating the water.


I...

Don't take this the wrong way, but posts like this almost make me feel ill. Can't tell you how many times I was on Truman & Pomme between July & October & caught exactly 3 fish. I read everything I...

I'd be overjoyed just to bring home that many nice crappie, let alone those bruiser cats.

How is a L rod a potential problem, running 4 or 6lb mono? On the off chance we hooked a lunker (or a log), shouldn't the line break before the rod could be damaged? Not being argumentative or...

Grew up with a Zebco 33 & didn't learn spinners till much later. Truth be told, I only bought a couple nice spinning rigs (just got back into fishing earlier this year after a 35+ year hiatus)...

I've got a Zebco Omega Z02 that I like a bunch. Very smooth. Never tried braid with it (I've never tried/used braid at all). Came on a Zebco "Omega Graphite" 5'6" ML spincasting rod. Works a treat...

Some weirdness with my chromebook display. I was using the forum skin & for some reason, the colors have gone screwy on me today.

My impeccable timing continues unabated. Missus & I rode up to Fairfield today, but no bueno. Had hoped to go up the Little Pommy some & the west side of Indian Island, but it was really windy &...

That is what I’ve heard & it is definitely on my list. I hear it’s a pretty good all arounder for crappie, whites & cats as well. I want to explore the Sac & Osage both. It’d be fun to see just how...

Thank you. It's actually a fun little boat. I'd found some deals on some fancier/bigger boats, but I wanted something better suited for the rivers & skinny water around here. Also left room in the...

I appreciate that & thank you for the kind offer. A more accurate statement from myself however, would have been that I don't have a fish finder mounted. I've got a Garmin Echomap UHD 73SV waiting to...

I've only been fishing Fairfield because my uncle has a place there & as a total boat newb, it's the nearest launch to me with a dock (I'm in Osceola). I think I'm about ready to launch without a...

We didn't get skunked, but just. Went out 3 times Wed & Thur, fished shallow & deep, off points, bluffs & bridge pilings, even ran a couple miles of the Big Pomme arm, fishing that timber. Threw...

Nice. My uncle & wore out Truman around Fairfield, the island there by the launch & even a couple miles up the Big Pomme Arm, weaving our way through timber. Shallow, deep, off points, the 83 bridge...

Very cool. I was in 6th POB from early '99 through late '08, minus a 3 year vacation to SOCEUR. Small World. Probably bumped into one another on a jump or chute shake. I remember some intense little...

Thank you. I was assigned to Bragg for my final 13 years, though I only spent 8 years physically on Bragg, with trips to Germany, the Balkans & Africa. Same old song & dance- go airborne & go on jump...

Wife & I retired late '20 & decided to move back "home" from NC & landed in Osceola. I was born & raised in LV Co. KS & my wife's from IL, so we figured here was the perfect compromise & could not be...

My uncle & I will be putting in at Fairfield. Chasing crappie mainly, maybe some jug fishing for cats & I'd love to stumble into some white bass in their topwater frenzy.

Any pointers? Likely...

Nice! How do those cichlids eat?

I got some Teva sandals. Pretty much made for boating/water. Nice grippy sole, too.

I just picked up a size 20 from Bass Pro for $48.99.

Beautiful. I'm a sucker for any finely crafted, hand made object. Noob question though, if I may- how do you fish those fly/jig thingies? Just like a regular jig?

Got it out on Truman last week, with my uncle teaching me how to do the boat thing. Good time & the little bugger runs out good. Myself, uncle & cooler max out the boat's posted max weight & with the...

My apologies for the necro post, but does anyone have any updates on this technique? I'm a noob/re-entry angler & after learning drop shotting & Texas rigs, I was doing some google-fu about Ned rigs...

Anytime someone who knows fishin' wants to hop in the boat with me & show me where to go, I'm game.

Looks like either a diamondback or blotched water snake.

Thanks. Being a Harley guy, I had to resist the temptation to start throwing crazy money at it. Lol! I'll be chasing whatever's biting, especially crappie & bluegill, but with all the...
