I'm meeting some guys in Jeff around noon on Wednesday and heading for the James. Gonna get out during the daylight, do some graphing and maybe catch a few crappie/whites before it gets dark and then be out at midnight to hit it hard. I don't expect us to catch then anywhere near as well as we have the last two openers, but I'm sure we'll catch a couple. Taking a couple newbies so the goal is to get them to each catch at least one and preferably more. I'll probably be on LoZ or the lower Osage this weekend.

I was below bagnel dam a few years ago catfishing and kept getting bites every 5 seconds and finally figured out it was spoonbill running into my line haha, I could literally net one anytime I wanted and after that I lost all desire to go snagging lol, I do love walleye fishing this time of year below TRUMAN

They can be annoyingly thick below the dam at times. The last time I went up there fishing was for crappie last spring. You literally could not make a cast across the current and retrieve it without hooking in to a paddlefish. We had to stick with vertical jigging and even then we still had several swim in to our lines and get hooked up. Throwing a spoon or crankbait for whites and hybrids is even worse!

I went snagging once in my life and about 10 min into ripping a bare hook through the water with hopes of hitting a random fish I felt like such an idiot I hung it up and said take me to the ramp. Good luck to all you guys that like to do it though.
