We Have Huge Issues - Smallmouth Poaching
Greasy B replied to MOsmallies's topic in General Angling Discussion
Great news! Thank you. -
I dont see how fish could possibly be kept alive and released safely. Maybe you could get some pictures of dead fish. Wouldn't it be something if nobody won because no live fish were weighed in.
-
I guess squeaks, bubbles and and skirts are all fine but it seems to me hook gap is the most importaint characteristic. Buzz baits and single hook popping bugs are similar in this respect.
-
I couldn't agree more. Why the hell are river tournaments even legal?
-
Late last year I inventoried my buzz baits. Threw away old crappy baits replaced the skirts on a few and acquired a few new ones. I now have cheep baits, fancy new bait, baits that squeak and baits that don't. What I don't have is any success. I have one rigged up most every weekend and will continue to do so, not sure why.

Good idea, this way when your Monkey bites off your fingers or eats your face the authorities will have a positive Identification. .

Stepped On This Critter Wade Fishing My Local Creek Last Weekend
Greasy B replied to E Green's topic in Photography
Yep me too, good thing I was fairly intoxicated at the time or I would had to change my drawers. -
I think it does. I see fish more willing to expose themselves in feeding areas on streams less traveled. The habitat on my favorite creek varies non existent to middling. Wintering holes are often 2 miles apart. I find fish in all but the worst graveled in holes. As long as there is 2 foot of water and a log or downed tree its worth a cast. One area I call the cow pasture the habitat is horrible, the banks have been stomped down, there is very little depth and only the occasional log but I often catch my best fish there, strange.

Nice boat. Value has more to do with how much the boat will be used rather than cost. This boat was obviously not a good value for the guy who bought it, never used it and paid for storage. If a person were to buy it at the price asked and used it twenty days a year for ten years it would be a bargain.

Funny but true. I too get all glossy eyed when I log on to TW or walk through BPS/Cabls. Last year i went a little overboard but so far this year I have been strong limiting myself to consumables. With two big trips coming up I'm not sure I hold out any longer.

I see MF as another great stride toward allowing this amazing river reach it's potential. Since the eighties and nineties we've seen stocking go from strictly a numbers game to something much more sensible. We now have Brown trout regulations that allow more just the occasional fish to grow to good size. We are slowly seeing a cultural change away from herding, chumming and gut hooking. If we could only keep more Rainbows in the river long enough to take advantage of the incredible growth rates this would be a fishery second to none.

Thanks for the story. I'd say you made the right decisions.

Today: 11,700 cfs at The Hazelgreen Gage. Probibly 1/3 of that coming down Osage Fork. Big water.

Locating an auto museum in chesterfield valley is a prime example of the level of arrogance and ignorance involved.
-
Nice!
-
Floods aren’t all bad; the ones in the eighties that wiped out the club house blight on the lower Meramec were the best thing that could have happened. Without enlightened zoning laws or any public desire to preserve riparian corridors floods are all we have.
-
And a little scary with new trees down. On the creek I frequent most it seems more holes will fill in than gouge out, not the equilibrium you would hope for. One thing that is interesting is the displaced fish. When the water drops out after big floods I often catch nice fish in very skinny water. Its as though they lost their home and ended up in places they would not normally be found.
-
Make it less accessible.
-
Yeah, this is a big one. Until last nights deluge we still had good water on Meramec, now it appears the whole southern half of the state is blown out.
-
Not all bad, at least It will clean off the gravel bar turds.
-
This water could be a blessing for September.

How Did You Get Started Flyfishing?
Greasy B replied to Justin Spencer's topic in General Flyfishing Topics

Might be fishable in a week but I would give it 2 weeks.
-
Few years back I spent a week fly fishing for smallies on one of the great bass rivers up north. We came equipped with all manner of divers, hair bugs and streamers, the most productive fly by far was a Bluegill bug, white with red dots.
-
Yep, that's my take on it.
