Re: Is luck involved?

The more I go, the harder I try the luckier I am! I tend to forget the bust days because I have more good days to remember. Practice makes you lucky.

Re: How many of you topwaters

being drunk and using a firearm is nothing to laugh or brag about. Daw, you were in the service? Were you discharged with less than honorable service? And, still hold grudges against all those who served with honor. Yes it was leave, regular as opposed to other types of absences, but didn't want to ...

Re: How many of you topwaters

daw, your lack of knowledge is shameful. Servicemembers get vacation time each year and most can schedule their time to enjoy life. You might be greatful for thier contributions, public dime? What is that? Everyone has personal time. People have lives outside of Old Monroe. Wake up and smell the ros...

Re: How many of you topwaters

Soldiers/service members often waterfowl hunt 30-45 days a season, depending on where they are stationed, so did I. Still try to hunt often. Keep the faith and follow the tradition! Take a friend or a kid hunting.

Re: How many of you topwaters

topwaters, most of us have been chasing ducks before ducks were a gleam in your dads eye! over 50 years of watching sunrises from duck blinds and feeling the brisk damp air as wings beat overhead in the morning light. The smell of marsh mud lingers as plants begin to decay and the smell of outboard ...

Truman 8-12

Partner and I fished for crappie Saturday morning, ended up keeping 28, 9 and 10 inch fish. Nothing bigger to be had, tightlining with jigs and minnow or niblets, down 11 feet. Caught all the keepers in less than 20 feet of water. Tried dropoffs, treelines along river channels and nothing but dinks....

took two men from Germany fishing for crappie. One had never fished before, the other on his second day of fishing. Due to heat we quit at 10:00 AM and had 37 keepers, from 9-12 inchers. First time in a while I had caught some 12 inchers there. All were suspended down 10-12 feet, caught tightlining ...

Re: 17ft. Alumaweld Bass Boat

I have a 90 yammie, like it well and fish all the major lakes in Missouri and is rated for a max of 115 HP. It depends on where you fish or hunt and the number of people in the boat, my two cents I like the 90. But the boat has been very sound, used mine about 100 plus days a year for over 13 years....

Partner and I fished less than 4 hours in the heat Saturday morning looking for crappie. Boated over 70, mostly 9 and 10 inchers, using tightlining with jig and minnow. Most were caught as the bait fell into the 9-13 foot zone over brush. drink plenty of fluids and go when you can. but wait, I think...
