Smalliebigs

Oh, Cricket you're such a wordsmith!!!! you really threw me with that alleged sarcsm that flows off your finger tips to the keyboard. please give me some more wordsmithin' as you put it. Can you please lure me in and spin one of your tails about Allah.Your words confuse and bewilder me but, leave me wanting more.

Tim, what a sweet Warmouth!!! very nice!! and the pic of your son....priceless...it happens to the best of them. Al, you are correct about the arm posing as I am guilty as hell of that. Pizza Hut and groceries and beer delivered on to the sand bar @ Shady Beach......now that's cool. Man I wish could do a journey like that.

Al, I truly love the old school pics thank you for sharing.Your float from Short Bend to Times Beach must have been truly epic????? I can only imagine what a cool time that would have been. I would love to do a very long extended float down a waterway....very cool Al. Mitch, the ladies are beautiful, I already told you this, you're a lucky man MORE OLD SCHOOL PICS PLEASE!!!!!!!!! I love them

Pete, I agree with you 100%, I gave Emily a broom Sunday and was showing her how to use it, while my wife is showing her how to access my money market account online and how to get funds out all joking aside I love them both dearly but, my fishing had been curtailed to say the least.I'm in serious need of a babysitter or a new set of balls to put them both in their places......just kidding honey if you somehow access this site thru our favorites and read this.

"Praise Allah!"............WTF are you kidding me?????? Osama getting plugged in the head is not tragic......forcing others to be around you as human shields and them taking a bullet now that's tragic. "praise Allah!".........man that's f'd up.

Thanks for he words of wisdom Pete.....15 years is all it's going to take???? I agree with FT57, the food bill and education are going to be the end of my money as I know it. I just didn't think the fishing was going to come to an abrubt end........here is an image of the two girls in my life sucking me dry of my last ounce of manhood it's not fish porn but I wanted you guys see who is killing independent Scott softly

All of these fish were 18 or bigger.....it's funny how the camera and the distance to the subject alter the image. 1990 1988 2009 2009 2009 before and after before after Mitch.....let's go fishing!!!!!! dude I'm dying over here.....this baby thing is a life changer.....it will take fishing out of your life

I will agree it sounds like both sides were loosers but, I disagree that justice was served.This little cock roach should be hung and fed to the Turkey Vultures, pieces of human waste, from other countries who murder US citizens should not be a burden any further than the trial. Exterminate his murdering butt and do the state of Missour's tax payers a favor.The landowners should be held accountable to a certain degree for letting a Mexican-National tote a gun to the creek with the possibility of squeezing off rounds........and I have had a few on here question why I carry a pistol to the river .....HA

Paul, can you pm me your contact info???? I was trying to get a hold of you to no avail.I hope you are still catching some nice smallies....I know you are. Scott

Mitch, I think you might be looking at getting a new car???? lots of serious damage where you parked.My sister who lives near you in Ofallon has some serious hail damage to both vehicles on roof and house.Get you and that family back here safe so you can hit the rivers again. St.Louis wheather it's a trip and it kills you on your loss ratio good bye bonuses for 2011.

There was a debris ball showing up on radar last night during the tornado that hit Lambert....that's always not a good thing.I hope everyone is all safe??? I have an insured who saved hail that hit their garage and destroyed it....the ice balls were 3 1/2 inches....WOW!!!!!!!!

No kidding, it's shad were talking about here.I throw Skippy's everytime I go on the Mississippi and the Missouri, those toothy little suckers are THE best bait for Blues.

Al, how did you know that Indian Creek was ruled a public-non-navigable??? Can we find out how all creeks are designated or was there a specific case involving the Indian????.That creek is rated my most likely to have gun pulled on you since it's happened to me twice there. Platin Creek is another creek you can get into some trouble in a hurry if you aren't careful.

Man, it looked like a sweet float!!! I know I used to wade the Shoal with my dad back in the 80's and had no problems.I'm kinda glad I didn't go, like Ducky said I would be in the hands of Newton County calling my beautiful wife for a bailout. Did this piece of crap just come out of the woods with a pistol brandished or was he waiting on his sand bar????? I mean, I float with a piece but it is in my box and secured to the boat but, I would never threaten anyone when I have my pistol on me.That would jepordize my C&C and Curio & Relics.....what a turd bag harassing a bunch of guys floating on a Sunday who frequent the OAF........FREAK!!!

She was on some eggs...nice bass, it looks your work is paying off.you like that cracker spinnerbait

Killer report and post Bill!!!! I always enjoy your post immensely and they provide very valuable info.OAF is very lucky you take the time to post reports......Thank You and I will be hammering the Baxter area this week.

thanks for the list Dave not one of these stations is anywhere near STL....lol ,what a joke.I will just have to keep using the additive....I refuse to run ethanol thru my outboards, cars or lawn equipment.

Ken, oh it will take a beating, I beat the crap out of mine.You have to sometimes the waves are impossible to avoid.My tour doesn't have the transducer but it will sure move that Seeark around great.The 798's are better than the 788's, I only have the down imaging but it still pretty rediculous with the maping cards and gps.You are also correct the livewells are small, I rarely if ever keep fish but, this last weekend at the LOZ the slabs were barely fitting in the livewell You are really going to like that 140 Suzuki with the gas prices.....just whatever you do or whatever LSK says always never run gas that has ethanol thru it and follow the break in intructions precisely.I wanted an Evinrude but like the Suzuki the only down fall is not that many certified Suzuki dealers/mechanics.That hull has alot of lift to it and planes really well, I met a guy in Arkansas that has a Camo Stealth it's pretty cool. You're going to have some fun post some pics and review of the rig, please.

Kenny What up??? I have a Seaark XV180 with 90 Suzuki, thats all the guy I bought it from would let him put on it but, I love it.The Stealth and the XV have the same hull I think which is an 18 degree hull??? I ordered mine with a second layer of .010 of aluminum so mine is heavy and dosen't run as fast.Mine will run only 40 mpn by the gps, it's all the faster I need to go.I also have three big batteries an onboard charger and a Motorguide tour 82, oh, and Hummingbird 788 ci di's on the front and console that also adds weight.I fish Tablerock,LOZ and Kentucky lake quite easily for my standards.Seaark makes a good hull I think you will enjoy and the Suzuki is really nice no matainence hardly and so quite you can have a conversation while running.i will post some pics

that "chin" strap is for your sack of nutz

Pete, you defintely give up knowledge and I soak it up like a sponge....thank you

Mitch is correct those smallies....specificly on the Meramec are very close.There is a lot of staging and pre spawn behavior going on.If we could just have some consistant weather with no flooding smallie eggs will be laid soon.Mitch anytime you want to blow off work you got my number I will get in Mitch's conservative butt boat anytime

you bet, stuffing tender young lovin in the oven

Reason number who friggin knows why I don't post trip reports and pics on here anymore. I'm just fine with sitting in the peanut gallery and shooting stupid comments out about everyone's stupid comments.I do learn a little bit from time to time on here though but, mostly this is for comedic relief for me now.

oh don't give away any of your patterns......ttttssssttt I agree with Mitch but, don't really worry about it, I just don't post trip reports and pics anymore.....it's not worth the BS. I do know Mitch is a darn fine fisherman and alot of you guys would benefit big time just beeing around him on the river.
