Do they still sell breakfast and ice cream? I like breakfast and my daughter’s like to feed the fish and eat ice cream. Only 3 reasons I’d ever have to stop there. The Campground sucks in comparison to others in the area.

Good for you guys!...Brisket just hit 204, and is wrapped and resting. 2 pork shoulders still on, 178 and climbing so a couple more hours for them. Screwed up and carbonized a couple racks of ribs this AM...Still gonna eat good.

Have several friends with Lyme and it’s been hell on them. A course of doxycycline after a tick bite is a good idea.

Got one pit going this AM. Need to light up the other one soon.

DI stuff was only in Boot Camp! LOL! Gotta love Gunny Ermy, he was an Air-wing POG too.

Perfect time to take a chance...No wife & kids, and stuck in a job were your employer treats you like a slave...Felt the same way when I chose to leave the USMC at 25. I hope you figure out what is best for you.

Got roped into a trip to Bass River Resort last weekend. Haven't camped there in 30 something years. Wow that place has grown! Tons of RV hookups now. People everywhere getting nickeled and dimed. Put in up at Berryman with two school bus loads around 9.30am. Laid back to watch the offload and got rolling around 10. Fishing was pretty decent for numbers in-spite of the crowd Not really any competition for bass, since all the weekenders were tossing wee-craws and rooster tails. Toss a bass lure in the spots that floaters didn't want to be and you caught some fish. Guess 25 or so and 3 in the 15-17" range between Berryman and Blunts (all smallmouth). Most ate a Ned and the rest on some fifteen or twenty year old Case fluke knockoff that I found in the basement. It was too crowded and mudded up to fish in most spots between Blunts and Berryman. Oblivious people in rafts piled up and doing stupid stuff. Some of it was incredibly funny, some was stupid but amusing, and only a few that I regret hearing or seeing. It was as expected, and not my problem. Caught a few more on the moldy oldy Case shads and a nice LMB on a Dog X. No Spotted bass or Hybrids so that was a plus. OK day considering. They should up the prices on the showers. I'd pay allot more than 50 cents to wash off after wading knee deep downstream of that floatilla.

Your still young enough to do anything you want. Pick something you like and go for it.

Well bless her heart, maybe she forgot to take her meds.

Those fish must have been really friendly....Both of the sports were pathetic casters.

I'm gonna drink great wine and dress in funny clothes when I grow up https://www.tastevin-bourgogne.com/en/

Try Google Earth and use the historical views...Might give you a better idea regarding camp spots, but the river is different every time you visit. You should be fine as long as the water is not too high...Quick float out then. Good luck.

Sold...

Kayaks are 6' long sit on tops and they were great little river boats & pool toys when the kids were younger Pickup only in the 63119. $100 takes both boats and paddles. Call me @ Tree1Four7NinetyFiveTreeSevenTreeTree.

Depends on if he uses it or not. Borrowed a friends and killed it a couple years ago. Bought him a new new one to replace it...and borrow it as needed. It's his...HE can store it😄!

Lake development and restocking programs? Well bless your heart❤️.

Interesting fish. At first glance its certainly a hybrid. There are lateral line markings (similar to a largemouth or spot), and horizontal bars below the lateral line (like a largemouth or spot). Not a great pic with its mouth closed, but it appears to have a bigger gape than a smallmouth, spotted bass, or Coldwaterfisher after a liter of Tito's😀. Would have never guessed smallie/largemouth cross.

You cant really go wrong with an MXH blank from Mudhole if you go the custom route. Have wrapped several, and all have been great. Rainshadow and Northfork Composites make some great blanks too.

That sucks Pete...Hope you heal up quickly!

Looks like fun, and thanks for the report. Glad you stayed dry, Somewhat. I haven't been out yet this spring so very jealous.

I'd travel to catch/gig/snag suckers and fry them fresh on a gravel bar, but I wouldn't drive 20 minutes to eat sucker in town. The experience is better than the actual consumption.

Buddy of mine was at Gasconade Hills this AM, they did not float

Gauge is up a bit above normal but no longer falling rapidly, it should be good to go.

You should be able to get a $7,500 tax credit for the Rivian, and another for the charger install. To bad it looks like refrigerator on wheels. Think I'll stick with my F250 until gas gets to $6 a gallon like it is in Europe & California. Chargers were about $2k when we were doing allot of EV credits for client's a couple years ago.

Sorry for your loss. Best to you and your family.
