Help me pick a jet boat. Bass style vs CC jon
Gavin replied to wheel10's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
With all those granite boulders up north, I’d look at a Snyder or a Rockproof like folks run on the Susquehanna, not the tin foil hulls that work fine in the Ozarks. Riverpro made a great jet but I think he’s out of business. A UHMW plastic bottom would be a plus up their. -
Used to tie a scud in under 60 seconds. Toss some dubbing in your off hand and line it up, Roll into a dubbing noodle between your palms. Tie on with piece of flash, twist around the thread and wrap. Done. If you want to get fancy, John Wilson’s Trout Crack takes another step or two.

Take her to Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis, they will do their best. It is not a death sentence.

MDC does purchase trout from private hatcheries for the urban program. My old buddy Tom delivers trout from Westover to several MDC lakes. He delivers to private lakes as well.

My tomato starts did better than expected, looks like we will have to give a few away. Doing Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra’s, supermarket plums, and several others. Might need to restart the herbs with more than 1-2 seeds per cell.

Contestants can bring additional prizes, on their own dime.

You should come by for the Bade Memorial. Urban fly fishing tourney on Jefferson Lake in Forest Park. Top prize (only prize) is a warm Stag 40oz or a warm 12 pack of Natty Light , plus your name wood burned on the traveling trophy that resides at Hargrove’s fly shop. You’re welcome to travel with it to bars and such, but it draws attention in a different way. It is not the Stanley Cup.

They stock a bunch of lakes on the St. Louis side. Allot of them are C&R until Feb 1st, and they get fished out quickly after that. Jefferson Lake by Big Barnes gets a bunch and its safe to fish there. I'd pack a side arm if I wanted to fish any of the 4 lakes they stock trout north of Page Blvd. No worries anywhere else.

3 species of longear sunfish, and possibly 6.

Agree with Al, rusty crawfish were sold at bait shops and replaced local crawfish populations in allot of areas. Don’t transport live bait. Catch it were your gonna use it, if you use it. Have the kids cast net or set a minnow jar, flip rocks for craws, worm rod some crawlers. It’s fun! -
It should not be an issue if you are resting and aiming it. Wing shooting would be out of the question. See how it goes.

Just go ahead and fish the MUD......3/10/2023
Gavin replied to Steve McBasser's topic in Table Rock Lake
Muddy water inflows bring food and warmth. I usually have a couple dozen dead worms in the bottom of my inground pool every time we get a good soaking rain. Lots of them get washed down stream. -

Gavin replied to BilletHead's topic in Conservation Issues
Hunting private land is expensive, but it beats standing in line or dealing with the masses of country ghetto trash that forks up almost everything in this state. Big city pecker heads are easier to deal with, they usually arent on meth or fentanyl. -
Paying to hunt or fish in MO as a resident is a sore spot for me. Hunting & fishing licenses should be FREE for MO residents IMO. MDC does not need that money. They make plenty from the 1/8th cent sales tax and that revenue stream goes up every year. OOS'ers should pay through the nose. Whatever their state charges a MO resident to hunt or fish in their home state. Reciprocity seem fair.

What generation level is wadeable water for White and Norfork?
Gavin replied to jonbo's topic in White River
Do your time and learn what is comfy for you. Only you can set your limits. It's always a crap shoot on a tailwater. -
Nominations for "The Good People of Bennett Spring"
Gavin replied to Flyfisher for men's topic in Bennett Springs State Park
I’ve never been a fan of Bennet, but Charlie Reading has always been fun to chat with. Think we have stayed at Rivers Edge & HVO 5-6 times with our camper in the past 15 years and we have never fished IN the park. Have not fished Montauk in 30 years either, but we camp there. -
The skunks are thick, or folks are smoking allot of MJ during rush hour.
-
If you have a better picture my friend Steve White could I’d them all. You could find him through my Facebook if you still do that.
-
I see what appears to be a midge oreno and a flat fish. Not sure about the others.
-
They look great! Will have to drive down and pick some up.
-
We have our seeds in. . I might start the herbs and tomatoes in a couple weeks,

There is always a can of Dinty Moore in my camp box. It makes a quick & hearty meal in a pinch.

Taste test with my 15 year old, she likes the hot & spicy and the yuzu(citrus) best. All very good and soy based.
