Would get to know the guys at your local shops. T Hargrove's is my home shop/bar. The guys at Feather-Craft are great too. Great online store at FC. Hargrove makes awesome custom rods, will tie flies, make,fix, order anything for you and call or ship to you. Good inventory, at Hargrove's but will drive 2 blocks further if I want a grab & go and Tom does not have.

See them in the St Francis area regularly and not looking for them. 34 bridge, shut ins on the St or Big Creek. Saw one on Black River near K bridge, and one on top of Taum Sauk Mountain.

Boat Trailer Tire Pressure
Gavin replied to MickinMO's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Never had a real issue with a boat trailer. Mostly tires or wheel bearing maintenance. The same can be said for travel trailers, but add plumbing! -
Boat Trailer Tire Pressure
Gavin replied to MickinMO's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Dunno, trailer tires are cheap. Just replace them. Usually order on the rim and delivered to my house for $100 a pair. Etrailer.com in Wentzville, MO is great. -
Should make good bait.....Heck a green mop fly, or smaller green weenie fly can be deadly this time of year. Ned that color should work too. Hopper, Cricket, Beetle season now. Fish are looking up. Plenty of 1.5" long woodland crickets in the pool skimmer. Test with a buzzer or walker, if they nail it get the fly rod out. Poppers & Hoppers.

Think Flip & Dave are about ready for the retirement home. Dave used to pedal this book years ago, bought it from him. Has some good Great Lakes carp intel and maps. Dave was a pretty good speaker when I booked him for OFF, Plip was a Flop.

Wow! Thanks for the report and the eye candy. Looks like a bucket list trip!

Bob’s Seafood on Delmar has frozen Louisiana snapping turtle. It’s still lots of work to dice up, even when shelled, gutted, and slightly processed. Counted parts of at least 4 turtles in the vac pac last time I picked some up.

Cut their gills, let them bleed out, then toss on ice...They taste better that way.

Reel seat repair
Gavin replied to aarchdale@coresleep.com's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Could probably drill and inject some thinned epoxy with a large gauge hypodermic needle. Should hold just fine but I’d send it back. Can’t stand the build quality on most factory rods. Wrap my own mostly, Tom Hargrove does my graphite fly rods. I prefer the full dress, in away colors. -
To be honest the Lake O water & related green scum is just bad as the red tide. It’s not salty enough, there is too much of it, it’s toxic and all man made. It’s been killing the fishery around Ft Myers on the west and Port St. Lucie in the east. The long red tide this year is a double whammie.
-
Yep, you have some dead ones. No big deal compared to SW Florida right now. No fishing between Sarasota & the Glades right now. East coast has some impac bout not as bad. Canceled our trip, selling off all in FL. A toxic swamp off SW Coast now. Used to have great fishing, but a dead zone now.

Sorry about the foot! What did you break? Broke my 4th & 5th metatarsals once. Only down for 2 days, but in a boot for 4 weeks. Big toe is the worst other than ankle.

I’m sure that there is massive non-compliance with labeling & limits. This guy will get a small fine at most. Rarely keep fish, but when I do it’s almost always for that day’s consumption. Limits of Alaskan Salmon or Halibut would be different. The fish houses up there do a great job with the processing & shipping.

Urban folks just can't swim. My kids swim like fish, learned as infants in our pool. Swim every day they want too. Urban folks just can't swim. Took the boat up that way 2 weeks ago. Murky water and some current. Did not want to swim there due to the murk, but lots of folks were. Came home and jumped in the pool.

What's considered a big smallmouth vs. a trophy in Missouri?
Gavin replied to Smallmouthmama's topic in Smallmouth Talk
Really have no desire to take pics and keep score anymore. Still keep a hawg trough around for a quick measure or a snap, but enjoy the trip and my company more than anything else. It's great when you can take a good pic of your buddy with a good one, and good to have your pic taken. -

Gavin replied to Smallmouthmama's topic in Smallmouth Talk
My MO PB is a 21" fish from the Gasconade. It's hard to crack 20" on the rivers, but usually catch a few in the 17-19" range every year.. If you want to claim 22" or over you better have a good picture of the fish on a measuring device. -
Bellerive has had a non disrimination policy and black members since about 1990. Not a member but know a few. Great time there today!
-
There are predators that will eat fish on a stringer. Otters, snakes, turtles, bull sharks. Bull sharks kill several humans every year. Usually those wading waist deep with a bait bucket and a stringer of fish tied to them.
-
Every blue line around you will have smallmouth or trout in it. Some will have both.

Don't know what your beef is. Great event for STL and most good golf is at private clubs. Figure that every Golf club takes a ton of folks off your river, your lake, your CG.
-
Yeah, that's what Jen & Nick Girondo think is as good as it gets. MDC biologists. Would call that sorry fishing.

The reef will be legal nationwide in 5 yrs. Dont smoke anything anymore. Ciggy's,cigars, like those CO gummy bears.All gone😊

Spearfishing for deer the - Airbow controversy
Gavin replied to MoCarp's topic in Conservation Issues
Who cares about how you shoot a carp or a deer? Where can I find a great 1lb cinnamon roll in a breakfast joint in MO?
