Bass...above Greer or below Riverton. It is a water temp thing. It's 56-58 degrees in the heavilly spring fed trout water, but some will stay in off current warmer ares. Bass will seek the warmer water in the winter but they leave, to seek warmer water above, and below in the spring.

I usually have better luck with suspending jerkbaits or a rattle trap, but have caught them on clousers. Coyote tail, with minimal flash. My nymph rod usually has a Pat's Rubberlegs...size 4, and another fly. RLGRHE, Pinky Peach Glo Ball, Prince, or a CR Gold.

My daughter and me started a bunch of tomatoes this year (full sleeve of solo cups worth). We only had room for 7 plants. The Neighbors/office got the rest. Starting some pole beans. Daughter’s herbs are in the ground. Cilantro, purple basil, green basil, and thyme. Plan to add parsley and chives. Maybe a couple stalks of sweet corn.

There is a Walmart in Salem, but that is about it. Reeds should have everything you need. -
I guess I’ll blame it on lack of intelligence. Why should idiot bass lotto players be allowed to monopolize our big public lakes.

I never saw the point of tourney angling. It's expensive, and I'd bet that the great majority of tournament participants rarely cash a check (if ever).

I tend to see more stripers in the slow holes between Rainbow Spring and Blair Bridge than I do on the lower river. The river was flowing pretty well last week, 1,300 cfs. Wading is tough at that level, you will need a boat to cover water.

Very nice!

I want one with at least 40x20 primary grill space. This will do for today by rhe fire box is about to fall off, and it’s cooking to hot. What do you have? May just haul this down to the welding shop and have them mid & fix it.

There is a low water bridge to portage. It's been years. Talk to Steve Andersen at Cherokee Landing. He and Christine might be able to help you out.

Epic trip! I have not been to S Florida in a few years. But it looks like you caught most everthing in the invasive trash can slam other than a python and an iguana. Glad you had fun and I enjoyed your reports.

3x flouro is my usual. if getting swatted with no hook up. Twitch it. or speed up. The old crackleback bounce. Twitch it a half inch, until bang. Trout don't really care that much on a dingy river like the Niangua. Heavier tippet would increase drag and speed it up.

Likely in a dumpster. Add it to the list of deductions in the settlement if she had custody. Should have stayed there, if possible, or carted all of your stuff out prior to move out. Sorry for your drama, but it is only temporary. Better times await!

They are good eats. Grandpa Ben would catch a bunch off the beach in Ft Myers. FL. Filet, skin, and fry.. Stingray is good too.

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.
