thats what i tell him, the fish didnt dissapear into thin air.. there still there and we intend on catching them.. no matter how this trip goes i still call it better than work or sitting at home, or fishing around here right now.. i just really like this lake, it will be my 8th time down there couldnt think of anything else id rather do this time of year

should be there sunday march 20th through the next saturday. my dad is freaking out because of the low water and lack of grass. Also the lack of real good reports, im still more than up for the challenge! i just have to keep his mood good.

ill let the pictures tell you my opinion on the ice

zoom magnum trick worms in any watermelon color for me, red, candy or seed.. also like the magnum more because i can fish it completely weightless wacky as with the regular i use a small finishing nail in the nose.. im a little partial to the trick worms for a good reason, caught my PB 10lb13oz with a watermelon red

havent had the steez combo out yet, cant wait! had the other zillion on another 7'3 carrot but i broke it late last year. now what do i do with my last 4.9.1 zillion??? i have an extra 6'6 LT daiwa but havent convinced myself to use it again...hmm decisons

thanks, should be a good ol reliable boat. oh and yah cant wait to see this snow gone!

My first boat.. we picked up a 1990 pro 17 today, gotta say for 20yrs old its not to bad. i have no excuse to not go now during the week, on the weekends its on to the skeeter (some reason my dad wont let me teke her out all the time on my own) just gotta do some good cleaning on it and set it all up for my tackle and preferences, espcially a butt seat, i cant stand to sit down all day that low. should be a good year

7'6 carrot stix 4.9.1 7'2 carrot stix 4.9.1 6'6 LT daiwa 7.3.1 all zillions, very pleased

nice fish, i have a love hate relationship with that lake. i have a 12hr drive to get there though

wow nice fish, i just kept scrolling down the page with a grin on my face

she kept yelling at me to go catch bass so i cant let her down right? only got to go for 2 hours sunday and caught two, cant complain much when the second one was this size. caught on a zoom magnum trick worm watermelon candy no scale, guesses? i say somewhere in the 6 range, she was healthy and heavy. then again i built two decks this weekend and im sore so everything feels heavy

fork is cranking them out this year, we saw a lunker at the minnow bucket back in there live bait tanks waiting to be picked up. havent broke that 13 barrier yet but it was cool to see one at least

my dad went there saturday and said it was almost the muddiest hes ever seen it and didnt fish long. if rains keep holding off here it should clear up nice. I dont know if your on facebook or not but cannon dam general store has a page on there with updates quite a bit.

ill be there at the same time 27th-3rd

you always know when glades is hot because it looks like a crowded parking lot of boats! done good there though when it was that crowded, tons of grass through there. Have you ever went past the entrance of glades and had any good luck, we were thinking about trying up farther this year but not sure?

you might call me crazy but was that in early march in some really cruddy cold weather. we seen a guy fall last year about that time. we were on the west bank to from the 154 bridge a mile or so.

True story, a few years ago about this time I talked my dad into using the boat for the day and to my suprise he said yes, i was pumped and ready to go. got to the ramp and got in way to big of a hurry, i was by myself got out unhooked the boat and immediatley got back in the truck and backed it on in then hit the brakes a bit to slide the boat on out, watching in my mirror to see if it came off ok, and it did but hey im by myself there goes the boat. So then i was just in shock of what i just did, luckily the wind was in my favor and the boat didnt go to far, but the ramp is really shallow and it stays like 2ft deep for like 20' off the bank, so off comes my shoes and sock and i go walking for the boat, remember its march in northeast missouri and the ice just melted. i wanted to keep my shoes and socks dry so i could still fish later. so i got back in the boat and started to get my tackle ready and then looked down to to bottom of the boat and noticed water, guess what forgot the plug, crap. trollled back to the ramp got in the truck backed it in then ran the boat back on the trailer to do the plug. lazy me didnt feel like pulling out to put the plug in so i bent over the back to put in and yah dropped it right in the frigid water, back in the water i go. so i finally finish all this nonsense and i got to fish, i think i caught one over about 4hrs of fishing, time to go and i load the boat just fine and as im cranking ther strap on the front to make it snug.. snap! there goes that. i couldnt beleive it. all in all it was some tough lessons learned that could of been worse, i was so used to having a second person with me that i just forgot everything. of btw when i got all the water in the boat i had my nikon coopix camera in a bag on the floor, bye bye coolpix and the 200 i spent on that.

im heading down there with my dad march 27-april 3 had a 10-12 last year, was my best ever. Really shooting for 12+ this year

so far all good colors listed but you cant forgot watermelon seed. this color has done great for me all over.
