Thanks for the info june-bug!

I hear ya! I plan on sifting thru those pages for sure!

Thanks guys. I'm really surprised at how little information is out there on the #1 rated bass lake in the country!

Hey all, Headed to Many, La to fish the big ol' pond October 18th - 21st. and we've hired "The Legend" Harold Allen for three days on Toledo Bend So what can a guy expect for the third week in October? I'm guessing that there would be plenty of fish in the creek arms at that time? Any must try food recommendations in the area? Area attractions to check out? I would appreciate any general information of the area, food, fishing, etc. I'm sitting 900 miles away here in Iowa chomping at the bit! Thanks!

Thanks for the info Mike! I really appreciate it. We are watching the weather and are packed and ready to hook up the boat at a moments notice! Darrin

Planning a winter get away to Newton Lake, Illinois. I have never been there and I'm looking for some basic information. Any help would be appreciated. 1. Which arm of the lake is the warm water side? (power plant lake) 2. What kind of water temps can you expect this time of year? 3. There is a 25HP limit, can you get on fish with just having a trolling motor? Thanks, Darrin

I'm talking about a tongue pull trailer Matt. I'd love to see some pictures of various set ups that are out there to get me rolling with ideas. I've tried searching Google with out much luck....not sure I'm typing in the best search words, but at the same time, I'm sure there are not many, if any sites to look at such a thing? You still in Texas Matt? ...I've been out of the loop this last year. (edit) oops, I see your location under your avatar : Darrin

Thanks for your reply 8-) This year we will have 2 divisions in our series, we are adding the river series with 5 tournies on pool 10 of the Mississippi and will continue with the lake series that we started last fall. Darrin

Do any of you have any information on tournament weigh in trailers? Plans, photos?? We are looking at possibly building such a trailer for our tournament series. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks, Darrin

Thank You for the thoughts and prayers guys! This is an unimaginable experience to say the least. The water has NEVER been this high, EVER, the good thing is that we are OK and we have shelter. Here are a few pictures of downtown Cedar Rapids before and NOW Notice the bridges in the first photo and compare to the following 2 photos. The water is a long ways from the bottom of those bridges at normal water levels and as you can see, they were completely coverd.....it's just unbelievable This first picture is of the the courthouse on May's Island This is the courthouse right now!

Iowa boy here as well...Cedar Rapids

Actually, I was looking for some mojo, I have a little confidence

No, where I was would be at the complete opposite corner of the state. They still have 30" of ice up that way! Water was 44 degrees.

90% of the state still locked up with ice on the lakes, so I had to head 90 miles south to find open water to cure this extreme cabin fever. I only caught 5 fish, but one of them was pretty nice 6lb 3oz 22" Black n blue jig n pig 5751852

Thanks for the info guys. After doing a little more research acar555 is spot on...no gps. Darrin
