Out here fishing not catching but I'm happy be out here though last time I caught a couple nice size tasty channel cats but I've yet get a nibble but the night is nice.


I did have a day in Missouri with my GF and drove out across Truman lake & I've decided I want go kayak fishing it. Anyone know much about Truman lake in Misou? What's fishing license gonna run me for out of state?

I've caught billions and billions of fish but not one ****ing one tonight. :cuss:

I'm not too well versed in Salt fishing from piers and the beach, but when I've done charters, I've used a borrowed Penn Senator and Ugly Stick Rods.

For freshwater bass, I use primarily baitcasting reals, my two favorites are Shimano Calcutta's in the 100 size...Rods in the Medium to Medium Heavy Range...I have a smattering of Fenwick and Bass Pro Rods. I also use a Daiwa Pixy reel with a medium action rod for finesse stuff as I am not a real proficient user of spinning gear.

Trout fishing you will want a light action or ultra light action Spinning Rod. My trout rod is a Fenwick along with a mid range Shimano reel. I usually bait fish for Trout, but occasionally will throw a Mepps, Phoebe or Kastmaster.

I like Fenwick rods, Loomis is a bit rich for me.

Wait, you don't use an Ugly Stik with 30 lb test to throw 6 oz egg sinkers and 3/0 treble hooks with power bait? From observing behaviors of others, that seems to be the best way to take 45 ugly hatchery trout out of a tiny stream for dinner.

Billions? 1-888-OVER-BAG :)

I live close to the dam on truman. What you want to know?

I caught two Walleye Monday which was the first Walleye I've ever caught. I put minnows on two rods to troll behind the boat and got one that way and caught the other on a rooster tail jig. They made a great meal for last night.
