Mr. Ranger

Great. Thanks for the advice.

I've tried finding some new spots here lately, only to strike out. International Harvesters in Lakeland continues to disappoint. Next i'm trying Orgil Park in Millington area. Anyone fished out there?

You know, I'm not sure. She repaired a baitcaster of mine and only charged me $15. I think that is drastically underpriced.

Darn, guess you'll have to go back! What a bummer... 2 Bass Pro trips in a week!

If you go to the Bass Pro on Sycamore View, they have a lady named Jane who does rod and reel repair. Shes a guru, and is incredibly affordable. She's fixed a Shimano Curado for me, and while she was at it replaced the guides on my Denali rod. The Bass Pro guys back in fishing have her card, but you can leave your gear at Bass Pro and Jane will come pick it up, repair it, and return it. Takes a little faith the first time, but she's never done me wrong! I highly recommend her, and so do the Bass Pro staff.

Merry Christmas! I hope all of you get the rods/reels/tackle/Bass Pro gift cards that you all asked for.

Caught a decent little guy (1 lb? 1 1/4 lb?) on a green senko at Mike Rose. Went back again, missed two bites early and then not a single bite after. Seems like a nice little pond.

Has anyone ever fished at Mike Rose Soccer Complex? I just called, its open to fish and there are bass in there.

Nice fish. Is that in Collierville at Halle?

You write your name on a slip of paper and deposit it and $5 into a box. Boat rentals are closed, I think. It's all honor system!

Just got back from a trip up to the Ozark lakes. Man those guys don't know how good theyve got it with all those clearwater rock lakes. Table Rock, Pomme de Terre, Stockton... caught some big pigs and handful of keepers. Oh well, back to the pond hopping in Memphis. If y'all ever get a chance to travel up there to fish, DO IT.

Had a couple decent days on Pomme last weekend. WHITE Buzz Bait on the windy flats and a mouse color spinnerbait while running parallel to some bluffs. Caught some on a wart as well. Caught a nice 5 1/2 pounder and a dozen or so keepers each day. Yall live in the best part of the country.

What line are you using? How deep are you running that rattletrap? Baitcaster or spinning reel?

What color wiggle wart is working? I've heard that some pumpkin/orange color is working on a jig. The Toyota Tournament up there- 13 pounds won it and 4 pounds drew a check... that's some sad fishing right there. I'm traveling from Memphis up to TR to weekend fish, and the report on the bite right now is not encouraging. Any tips will be helpful. I can put in wherever. I'm open to suggestions. I tend to stay away from Branson/Big Cedar points. I usually put in at Kimberling City.

Any updates for recent Fall fishing on TR?
