Structure like points? Or brush piles or timber? Would also like to see what you graphs look like when you find “what your looking for” it seems like I mark fish all over the place but have a hard time narrowing it down to a place I should fish!

Oh sorry I copied from FB post l...asking 3750

Cast and Blast Special - Jon boat is in great shape and been stored out of the weather. 2008 tracker grizzly 16' long. Trailer is a 2008 trailstar and is in great shape. The motor is a 25 hp Mercury 1988. Trolling motor is a newer MotorGuide proseries 46 lb thrust! The Beavertail boat blind was bought new last year and is still like new! Extras: stainless steel prop, extra aluminum prop, 2 spare tires, fire extinguisher, paddle, throw cushion, anchor, 2 seats and post, clip on dog stand, gas in the tank has been treated

How deep were the crappie? I'm assuming about 15fow?

May could check tan-Tara resort or VRBO?

Anyone have any experience with a guide down there that they would recommend? I'll have one day to go for it while visiting family next month!

Looking for a reliable and fair repair company to fix a dock! Our experiences have not been good so far with the particular person working on it.

chapstick on the guides has helped keep the ice down on the rod guides

i wish trout size was more of a concern for the MDC. I would like to see some reasoning. I'm assuming its because they dump more fish in and more are kept than places like Montauk (where fish were clearly bigger this year)?

Thanks to those that participated in my survey a few weeks ago! I mentioned that I would post the results so here they are. Although it's not perfect I've already received my grade so general discussion about the results would be great (no need for criticism...unless you cant help that itchy trigger finger).

Up the pay scale! Lol that's about it...maybe a move out of Education eventually though. I just didn't want to get the masters degree that ties you to teaching forever.

I'll try my best to clarify here it goes...the invasive species scope came from a side conversation with my professor, so I decided to make that the main focus of the survey. The survey can be aimed at angler preference and satisfaction about invasive species management at Bennett springs, so it's not really a survey about fishing quality of Bennett it's a survey of "Bennett Springs Trout Park Angler Views on Invasive Species" which is whet the survey is titled. The entire survey is qualitative in nature due to the recall required by anglers. The survey is designed to start broad and narrow the focus down. Question 1 - designed starting broad to encompass any area you can fish for trout in Missouri. So the result would be to see How much time is spent outside of trout parks (when compared to Q2). Question 2 - I'm asking Bennett Springs anglers. Notice it wasn't posted anywhere else. Keep in mind I'm trying to make this easy on myself and do most of it on line, I know it's not the most scientific thing to do but it'll work! Question 4: is designed to be open-ended and the benefit of these types of questions is to uncover ideas or concerns that might be unknown at the time. So if the researcher get 50% "more trashcans" ...guess what the park needs. Or it may even be one response that sparks a conversation by the managers for "more trashcans." Thanks for the feedback I'm sure there are flaws ... I'll take my B and move on!

The focus is "to assess the angling preference and satisfaction for anglers from a local fishery" I did want to include some aspects of invasive species in the survey as well. My degree will be in Biology from southern Illinois. But this class is a fisheries management through University Nebraska Kearny (thought it was a good fit my UG is in Wildlife Management)

Thanks for the great response I may post the report once I'm done. In a few weeks!

I'm currently completing my last graduate class! One of the assignements is to create, administer, and report on an angler survey...here it is! Please help me out by completing this 10 question survey about Bennett Springs State Park. Thanks. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1IrOynQ_iDM5nqI3CPf1b78GiNstOERbtXmSQWn3P_PQ/viewform?c=0&w=1&usp=mail_form_link

going in the morning i'll let you know!!

heres my new duck boat!! no paint job yet

He will be missed! Vince talked me into skipping class and fishing on his lunch break one time..we went down and he caught 15 fish i caught 1 (well actually he never knew I skipped).He was the first person to teach me how to catch fish on taney and man he could catch 'em!!! It was sad to hear the news.

What are some of the structures your catching bass off of? Taking a buddy out there this week it be nice to have a starting point?

Fished mid lake caught a couple keepers around docks near the mouths of coves or jigs. Biggest fish came off main lake point on carolina rigged lizzard, also caught a bonus fish (walleye).

Sounds like a good time i'll be fishing it for the first time this week i love flipping and pitching ( i fish a lot on LOZ). Hope we can catch a few!

The FLW Tour guys last week were catching them on jerk baits, jigs and some wiggle warts. I know they had to work hard for them. I went wednesday and thought i had had made my trip when i pulled my jig out from a secondary point and felt a good solid thud...for some reason a 6lb drum is not as fun as a 6lb bass??

Ready for montauk it feels more like a trout stream. I was disppointed with bennett last month no fish! Any reports from anyone last weekend whats the water like?

Thanks Rick, I look forward to seeing you down there this fall, and hopefully exchange some new fish stories. I just took a job teaching science in Lebanon High so i wont be quite as far as i have been!
