Question: I have a yearly boat ramp sticker for Hillsdale, does that not get me the use of Melvern's State owned boat ramps at no charge??

Now thats funny!!! I have a change of plans also....My buddy Sean thought his church picnic was next Saturday 11-2pm, turns out it was this past weekend 11-2pm!! So we can leave Saturday morning to head down! I will reserve spot 37 next to retro on spot 38, can some one else grab 39? My cell is 302 943 8810. I have a Gold Titan and a Black Lowe FM165

Book it and those of us camping can split the cost when we get there, will need to bring ext cords and a power strip so we can run mult items off the power. I will be leaving around 230pm on Saturday to head down my fishing buddy Sean has a Church picnic he has to attend from 11-2pm. I have Claytons cell number, I will PM my cell to those of you that are camping Saturday. I am going to stay possible Sunday night and fish Monday also any one else have that plan?

No clue never been down to Melvern, any suggestions? What boat ramp are we meeting at on Sunday? Also are the roads paved down there? Not a real big fan of busted up gravel roads!

A few of us are heading down Saturday to camp and fish let me know if you want to join in!!

What colored crankbais?

I am going so Clayton(Bluebasser) can kick my arse and meet some new folks that I BS with on the board! I have never seen Melvern but hey it gets me out of the house for two maybe three days to fish so I am all good!! I did promise myself that I would expand my lakes this year so what a better way to start!!

My buddy Seans wife gave him the green light so he will be fishing with me.

I have a buddy I am working on to get him to go.

perfect, also who is going down Saturday to camp and fish?? Hi Salenity-Boat Chris Schauer- Boat Retro basser kanasbassfisher08 Flash+friend bluebasser86-Boat anyone else taking a boat down?

I am in will head down Saturday to set up camp and fish a little since I have neve even seen Melvern. I have a 2010 Lowe FM165 and who ever gets me as a partner we can figure out what to split etc and if your up for camping we can fish Saturday and even Monday! Who else is planning to head down Saturday and camp?? If my partner cant make it Saturday, someone else is more than welcome to jump in the boat! PS: I drink enough beer on land so no need to drink it in the boat

If you make it back before 4pm post a report, I may head down there Weds afternoon!

Nice pig Clayon!!!!!

Gotta love the pink glove!!!!

BOAT (VESSEL) LICENSE FEES Boats with outboard or inboard motors of more than 10 horsepower: City of Paola Residents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $7.00 daily or $25.00 annually Miami County Residents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $7.00 daily or $35.00 annually Non City/County Residents. . . . . . . . . . . . . $40.00 daily or $125.00 annually All other watercraft or watercraft used solely for fishing. . . . No fee required You are correct!! All I saw was the $40 and $125! Thats cool I will give this Lake a go very soon!

There is a guy on facebook called Kansas Angler who posts all the time about Miola but I looked up the non resident boat fee and was like holy crap!!! Nice fish in that lake from what I have seen!

I fish it but for Walley, Crappie and White Bass, there are bass in there but you better be ok with getting back through the stumps, all the bass I have caught out of there are heading left from the main ramp and the section of trees back by the boat ramp on the otherside of Hillsdale Point. If your not dialed into Hillsdale it can be a very long day, IMO buy a map of the lake to learn the channels. If that does not work take 169 south to 58 East towards Louisberg and take 69 South to Lacygne

**SLUMP BUSTED*** fished Saturday with a buddy of mine Sean in his 8 foot bass hound. Football Jig with Paca Craw Blue/Watermelon and Scum Frog at sunset**20 fish, few pics of the "larger one"

This guy in Kansas thinks this one weighs 11.5lbs, i think he was smoking something

If your PB is 12-13 pounds you dont need any help just go do it!!! PS: Thats a big ole pig!!

I could not agree with you more! Here is a pick of a friend of mine from Georgia, this Bass weighed 13lbs. So this guy in paper wants me to think that the Clinton bass weighed 1.5 pounds less than this monster?? Come on man! PS this one was weighed, photo and released!

This one ate my Yo Zuri 3D crankbait by the discharge last year.

Big stakes at Kansas lakes Fishermen at selected Kansas lakes could again become instant millionaires by participating in Cabela’s “Wanna Go Fishing For Millions?” promotion. Kansas is one of 19 states in which fish have been tagged and can be redeemed for prizes by fishermen who catch them. The competition begins May 5, at which time the lakes that contain the tagged fish will be announced. Fishermen must be registered in the program to participate. The registration period is now open, and those who register early will receive a list of participating lakes. One of the fish could be worth as much as $2 million if the lucky fisherman is using Cabela’s Fish Recon app. To register or receive more information on the program, go to the website www.cabelas.com/fishformillions. Last year, 143 winning fish were caught nationwide, and Kansas led the nation with 26 of them. Clayton Westgate caught 17 of them Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2012/04/26/3578946/outdoors-digest.html#storylink=cpy
