Boat Week
Ever since my old boat died at end of August, I have been casually shopping for a boat, about a month ago, I found a deal that I felt that I shouldn't pass up and now this weekend I am going to Missouri to go pick it up. Pictured below will be my boat for next year, its a BassCat Pantera Classic with a 200 Merc.
Thanks to those that shopped my ebay auctions and clicked a few ads to help me get a few extra bucks in my boat fund! I will be fishing Lake of the Ozarks on my trip this weekend as well. Watch my facebook page to see more pics & vids from the trip and of boat all weekend long.
Hopefully weather will remain nice and I can get my new boat out when I get back and get some more smallies like this one that I recently caught.
I thought about getting an Alabama Rig for my trip to Lake of the Ozarks, but lead times are just too long after Dan Morehead won a tourney on Kentucky Lake and ebay seems a bit crazy to right now for the A-rigs.
So if any of my readers have fall fishing tips for Lake of the Ozarks, leave a comment or send me an email. Or if you got good food or lodging recommendations around Warsaw, MO, comment on that as well! I think the plan is to fish out of Brown's Bend area this weekend.

Hey Rich,
Welcome to the BassCat Family. I run a 02 Pantera 3 and just love it.
As for the Lake of the Ozarks, that upper part of the lake is probably not gonna be much good for using that Alabama schooling rig. The water color is usually very heavily stained and the fish are always shallow, typically in 1-5 foot depths, either around brushy docks or on woody cover. Good luck

Thanks, I am pretty excited about the boat, I agree, plan to catch fish mostly on Ima Square Bill, Buzzbait and jigs

Hey Rich. What was Mozingo like? Was it worth the stop? My son and I will be heading to MO wed morning if the snow doesn't get too bad.

It was pretty cool, I believe it has some good potential, I will send you an email & blog about it soon.

Rich,
Congrats on the new boat, I'm diggin that you went with a bass cat. I fished an FLW college event on Lake Oz a few years ago in the fall. We ended up qualifying for regionals through that event by taking 5th - caught all fish shallow around brush and docks, finesse jigs, paca craws and spooks, good luck!

Sweeeeeeeeet! That is one fine looking rig Rich. I have a Nitro fish and ski myself as I had to have it pull double duty as a family machine. It get the job done nicely though
