[quote author=6C746A71747A7B407E787E76711F0 link=1244058673/12#12 date=1246508407 fished melvern all day. zero small mouth. still had an ok day though. take your lipless cranks with you.

Busy - what lake are you talking about with the smallmouth? I've got smallmouth fever - thinking about going to Melvern this weekend to try and cure it... ;D

Went to Leavenworth Lake on Sunday - had a good time got a few fish, but nothing spectacular . Going to try Lone Star this coming weekend.

Thanks GMAN. I'll let you know how it goes... ;D

Anyone fished these lakes recently? I've not been to either of them, but would like to go to them this weekend. Any tips for a first timer at these lakes? Thanks!

No, I don't fish the tournaments at Smithville. Then why in the hell would you choose that lake to figure out?

So are you fishing Burtons and MSTA?

Very high quality jig. The round head spider jig works really well around here...

Looks like they have there site up and running now... http://www.bassxlures.com/

I read his article too. I came to one conclusion.... He bought a bunch really cheap and is now trying to sell them for a nice profit...

What type of rod and line are you using?

Got 2 wild shiner aruku shad 75 yesterday at BPS for $3.77 each!! Looking forward to using it. ;D

That's what I figured. I'd go to La Cygne, but I need some new tires before hauling the boat that far...

Anyone seen the lakes lately? Wondering if the ice will melt off by Saturday or Sunday?

Beaver Lake, Grand Lake, Bella Vista Lakes - not far from the many great Ozark lakes. Call Hook Line and Sinker they can suggest clubs and lakes.... I believe there are a few different clubs that fish Beaver Lake exclusively...

bump I'm interested in suggestions as well. I've been thinking of the bazooka tube - holds 4 rods/reels... anyone used it? Thanks!

probably the most common way would be a jig head with or without brush guard... but the possibilites are unlimited....

I keep them in a box by color, size is pretty easy to tell - 3/8, 1/2, 3/4

Not Olathe Lake, not Hillsdale, not Clinton Lake (Lawrence, KS)... There are a couple nice smaller lakes around South KC. Other then those I've come to believe that KC doesn't have much to offer for bass...
