We have been enjoying a great couple of weeks of Winter fishing on Lake Taneycomo. Last weekend we had numerous large groups, as well as a tournament on the lake, and all had no problem with limits early in the day. Not a lot of HUGE fish, I’ve inclueded a snapshot of Jack, who lives [...]

Table Rock Asphalt has begun dredging operations to remove silt, from around the Lake Taneycomo Hwy 76 Bridge. I spoke with TRAC the other day, and this is a MODOT project. Thought everyone would like to see this pitcture of Aggregate Annie setting up this morning.
