    I guess I was a snob for a few years, all that went out the window when a work buddy took me cricket and slide bobber fishing for Bluegill. My old buddy Bobby could find and catch in just about any body of water any day of the year, probably the best fisherman I've ever known and I've known a few. Method and equipment are only a matter of preference not an order of skill.

    Had the boat packed up to camp on middle Gasconade. 5 hours of relentless down pour sent us to the Fairfield inn. This morning it was only up a foot or two but chocolate. Stopped at Sand Ford on the way home, what I great stretch down to Plum Ford, well at least when the rain runs everyone off.

    I don't understand the questions or why they matter. Whether I have one type of rod or another in my hand is a personal preference that could change from one day to the next or even hourly. It has nothing to do with how much money I spend or how much time is spent one way or the other and there certainly is no hoity toity element to any of it.

    Years ago when I started getting serious about Bluegill fishing the brother and I had a crickets vs flies contest. He creamed me with the flies because i spent the whole time chasing the darn things around the boat.

    That list is disturbing especially how many times LOZ appears.

    Nice fish. It's often seems that river fishing gets better the hotter it is. I suspect there is a point where it is too hot but anymore my level of discomfort is reached before the fishes level.

    I guess its more of a rocker than a rake because the is no flat spot. One of the cool things about boats is how they vary based on where in the country they originated and how they are uniquely adapted to the type of rivers are in that area. I think the various Ozark Jons are as practical as ever on our rivers. With the new material available they may be better suited than ever. Do you think someone will come out with a traditional Jon hull constucted with the materials used on boats like Hog Island and Gheenoe?

    Wasn't too long ago BPS had a paddle Jon in their catalog, if I'm not mistaken they were long, maybe 18ft. Charlie Campbell help design them. It's good to hear they are still being made, I'd like to have one but I'm afraid the aluminum would make more noise than I could stand. This Shawnee river Jon is heavy and long but can also turn on a dime.

    Cool boat, perfect for Gasconade, Niangua and any midsize river.

    Thanks Gavin, I have had my eye on that stretch for some time but its so far out of the way I didn't want to waste a day exploring. I suspect any outfitter traffic would be what ever groups are launched and all I'd have to do is stay out of sync to avoid them.

    Does anyone know if there is a place to launch a trailered boat at or near Sam Baker Park? I don’t necessarily need a ramp, a firm gravel bar and a safe place to park will do. Thanks, Mike,

    Last I heard it's nasty. Something about a substandard sewer system for an upstream suburb.

    A bass would probably be more dangerous.

    Hahahaha, yep. Good for you DianW, you flirted with the militarized zone of the OF and survived. Legend says all who pass below the big sign shall perish. You could have been abducted and sent to a re-education center or perhaps harvested then ground into soylent green.

    Ever notice how many dudes are walking around with Mt. Dew bottles?
  16. Greasy B
    It does look like that, I've seen it.

    Every time this comes up I get a knot in my gut. I'll write my representative again but a doubt she'll bother read my letter.
  18. Greasy B
    Great report, nice fish. I think the dark water makes the bass more comfortable chasing a top water bait.
  19. Greasy B
    I always figured there was an element of planned obsolescence with Senkos. I don't care too much about the cost or hassle of constantly replacing baits but I do worry about all the fish trying to digest a piece of plastic.

    You are living the dream, and sharing it, thanks.
  21. Greasy B
    Yeah I've also had it happen on JF, one time we did allow a woman who was floating alone share our camp site on the condition she puts up with us. It was a weird experience I'd just a soon avoid. That was several years ago, I haven't been back since.
  22. Greasy B
    My buddy fishes a Senko the same way, skittering across or just below the surface. I roll my eyes until he starts hooking up. I'm a little more deliberate letting it sink just out of site then twitching it to the surface and letting it drop again. Don't think one method is more effective than the other unless he proves otherwise.
  23. Greasy B
    That's what I was expecting. We fished a central Missouri lake that produced well in the past, only found a couple of abandoned beds and no active fish???? Go figure.
  24. Greasy B
    I say why not, don't we already forfeit large sections of our waterways to the loud and obnoxious. Our society doesn't value peace and tranquility, we look at our waterscapes as playgrounds for idiots and we even admire those who turn them into amusement parks. As for regulations... we all know that's a bad word. When I'm an old man I think I'll give up all public water and spend my time trespassing on tiny creeks. I'd just as soon take my chances with gun toting, paranoid red necks. If they want to kill an old man with a fly rod I'll accept that fate.

    Prettiest boat on the river.
