Hey Chris, was that you in the black lowe at the dam Saturday evening?

I just read previous post on what the ned rig is and googled it. It is definitely worth it to get you fish out there.

Well took a solo trip for my first trip to Melvern. Holy zebra mussels!!! I've been wanting to try this lake for awhile to help me out with my smallmouth urge. After reading all your posts I decided to hit it up even without a partner. I tried a few cranks and lipless cranks without any luck so I decided to try this "ned" thing I've been reading about. I caught 2 smallmouth on my first two casts! After that its all I used. I caught easily 30 fish within 3 1/2 hours of fishing. No size to brag about, but I did manage to come back with a mean bass thumb. I thought I would be buring gas to explore the lake but just stayed at the dam. Needless to say I will probably go out solo again on Tues and for sure I will be headed back out there Thurs with a buddy. Just wanted to say thanks for you guys posting some of past reports. I would have posted my pics but they were all dinks. Also I'm going to check my line a lot more next time:)

I'm a Missouri guy that just found out about this site. Normally I'm on other forums but this has quit a bit more info than anything else. I normally fish Truman, Pomme, Stockton, and T-Rock (all for fun, no tourneys). All these reports have me wanting to try out Melvern now. Last good smallmouth bite was over two years ago for me at Norfork. Needless to say I think I may be headed that way soon. This board has me seriously reconsidering KS fishing:)
