Truman Lake Chinese Fire Drill

We tried but did do very good. Couldn’t find minnows for two days near Clinton, brought some microscopic minnows from KC, fought the wind. Held a rod, tried dialing in the livescope, try to position the boat, try to keep transcducer pointed int the right direction, try to watch the screen, try to see the jigs in the water……All that and had to deal with Joedog. Man a lot going on. Oh well always nice to get out and fish with friends. Did see fish, did see fish bite, did boat one nice one a Bobby Garland 3” tipped with a tiny minnow.
Guess good and bad reports can be posted unless Slab decides to delete this thread. :cheers2

Ha, sounds like a typical trip for me.

It definitely was an education! Learned some stuff about the livescope. Learned a few new 4 letter words, too!! LOL!

But....as always....it was a fun day and better that working!

Oh....plus...a very worthy shout out to Coal Tire and Battery. So rare anymore to just pull up to a place, fully intending to just get some free air, but instead they take time out to check the whole tire, replace it with the spare and button everything back up. Just dropped everything and took care of it! How cool!

Bummer about the fishing, but you did have Joedog in the boat. :dono Glad to hear ya'll got out

No worries man, I was out Saturday morning. Froze my tail off for 3 fish! The water was WAY up compared to weeks past.

well sounds like a great trip, but y'all never catch many anyway do you?

you can always claim it was strictly educational trip to learn how to work the LS and not fill the livewell. Aw anytime your on the water with a good friend it's a great day!

Still beats sitting indoors, glad you got out for a bit.

Fixed it for ya Beag!

Could be wrong but I kinda recall a time that a certain feller kept some in a home made bait tank at his house. :)

I done as good with minnows as the Chiefs did playing the super bowl...........we both stunk...

Two posts in like 11 days? 2021 is better than 2020! :biggrin

Your Stank is a different kind of Stank!!!! :Rofl

hey don't be a purist sometimes minnows are the only ticket that get's it done. other times matters little or jig and minnow is the ticket. is why all the guides have a pound or so on their boats always. I rarely use them on my home lakes but if I'm going all the way to MTL, LOZ or truman dang sure I'm going to have some with me.
