Advanced Gravel Bar Camping
Gavin replied to Al Agnew's topic in Lodging, Camping, Kayaking and Caoneing
Looks good over there....is all I need. You know it when you see it. -
Guess the Shimano's are fine for glitter boat jockeys..They suck on the river...get them wet or the slightest bit gritty and you would be better off with anything else.
-
Looks like a Mad River Explorer or a Nova Craft...Think there was a Belitz named Sylvester. That is the vid that inspired me to try it.
-
Pflueger's & Abu's have been very reliable.
-
Think I've dunked on the NFoW more than any other river...Tim the Enchanter in the boat, too much beer, fishing slow...5 times in one day....Wore a pair of Teva's...Glad it was an 80 degree day..I didn't care.
-
I've done that 3-5 times in the winter...not much in the way of fishing after you get past Dry Fork..Fair scenery though. Some of the sloughs might produce a fish, but not much. Looks like a fun trip though.
-
Looks like a Peerless and some bamboo too. Hard to top one like that on a dry.
-
Very true. A wader belt is a must in cold weather.
-
Very nice! 17"?
-
Nice catch BTW
-
Coldwater rescued my soggy wader clad self out of the river years ago. Wasn't an experience that I would like to repeat, but I don't think that I would have drowned.
-
I knock them on the head and bleed them out quickly whenever I want to keep. On ice or cooked as soon as possible.
-
I've been learning to pole a canoe upstream...Cant say that I'm good at it...Get tired of it after 2-3 miles...but I'm only doing it on day trips so far. The late Ralph Brown or the Belitz Brothers would consider me pathetic with a canoe pole in my hand.
-
"undercooked indifference"....you been hitting Tito? LMAOF! 9 more weeks till fishing. Lets go.

Garrisons To Onondaga - Frozen? Canoe Trip 2/15-2/16
Gavin replied to Whiskey Joe's topic in Meramec River
Id listen to Mitch about location...that there is gold. -
I like that last jig head..is that one you make?
-
Floated it with Coldwater years ago....Great trip but poor fishing, IMO...wrong day I guess...river was up, and muddy.
-
Mitch can measure anything in 3D. Wonder if you can make an old school wart on a 3d printer.
-
Those do work. Have a great 3/32oz head and Mitch's 1/8oz heads work great. Have not found a lighter head with a good weed guard.

Thought prairie restoration meant no funds to cut the grass;).
-
You will want to replace that awful molded seat in that boat. and move it forward for better balance. Add a Sitbacker or other canoe seat. An old milk crate works well for tackle storage. Just enough height to keep it dry mostly. The anchor system is optional...I have one, I cant remember the last time that I used it. I'd get a long kayak paddle in addition to a long single blader.
-
Just guessing, 17"? Long & narrow....Matt Tucker's BBQ prep looked good. Hope you got some, and fed it to that fish.
-
Sure, you can access at the springs...you have to pay to park...Pay the daily parking fee, or get season parking pass if you visit often.

Rod Building Question - Part 2 - Quality Blanks
Gavin replied to MOsmallies's topic in General Angling Discussion
I've been happy with most everything from Rainshadow & North Fork Composites. Tom Hargrove might let you use his lathe to spin a grip if you want to undertake that task yourself.
