Have not done a thing to our pool in awhile. We offer it up to the neighbor family’s when we are gone, and we have trained them to maintain it in our absence.

Good to here from you Joe D. We need to go fishing again. I do like exploration, but there is something to be said about tried and true. Used to explore more. Do less of that these days.
-
My wife won’t look in the skimmer basket. There are some dead furry critters and amphibians in there sometimes.
-
Drunk dude who got shot had some coming. Words exchanged and he displayed poor judgement in the face of poor judgement. Azzholes both. Agree too walk away and not much to worry about.

Open, legal carry is OK on the farm or in the field, but Johnny Cash said it best. Don’t take your guns to town boy.Why tip your hand? Plus, you look like a man with a child’s pecker reliving his Roy Rogers cap gun days.

It’s about 2-2.25 hrs from St Louis one way.

Bats swoop my pool constantly when I leave the light on. I like those critters. Never find one in the skimmer basket.

I could not care less about what Wal-mart does. Have 2 hand guns that sit and collect rust 364/24/7. Might not shoot it, but inspect/clean all at least once a year. Have ammo on hand but don’t store a bunch. I date the boxes and get rid of it if over 5 yrs old. Will usually go bang as well as new but buddies who shoot allot are glad to have it.

Nope, but I've floated that area...You probably don't want to take a jet boat downstream from Ruby's at the Narrows.. You will encounter a 100 yard long shoal with fast water and lots huge rock's about two miles below there. I usually end up walking at least part of it if I have a loaded canoe or my jon. Kayak s//b OK.

Glad you had a great trip! Thanks for the pics. -
Had opportunity at our friends farm near Topeka. Farm borders a 300 acre lake. Some teal, mallard, and geese on the lake, but no doves working their corn & bean fields. Bass fishing was good and a case of clay birds died so might do OK with birds to shoot. Kids had fun swimming & kayaking. Good time but poor hunting.
-
Might get shot is a huge overstatement. Some drunk rental boater got shot by a drunk landowner on the Meramec a couple years ago. Haven’t heard of anyone else getting shot for trespass and I’ve only been run off politely a couple times.

I don’t see any that look like chanterelles. Hen of the Woods, Chicken of the Woods, Chanterelles, and Oysters are fairly easy to find & ID in the fall. Chants & Chickens are some of the easiest to find. Morels & black trumpets are hard to spot.
-
You can scope it out via net, but scout new stretches on the way from known water someplace else first. Used to check 4-5 on way to or out. Don’t check much anymore.

Gateway TU was talking about that a couple years ago...Guess they got it done..

Great Top Water Action Between the Rain Drops

Sweet! Good for you....Caught a few on top this summer, but never really nailed it. -
I agree 100% Scott. To hell with them. Not worth the bother.

Once you start the ball rolling and fire up the fryer...Something is going to get gigged and fried.

The duck zones do not make sense because they ignore geography.

I don't think that MDC's objectives are motivated by money..They are guaranteed to get more every year thanks to the 1/8 cent sales tax they receive. Under table money, and side perks might be a part of it...The Conservation Commissioners are usually high rollers and appointed by the GOV....They have a big PR problem with avid outdoors people....and there needs to be some public oversight at a high level, because the agency is currently unaccountable.

Think that most big White/Taney/Norfork tailwater fish prefer to eat fish guts almost exclusively. Plenty of rainbow guts available for no effort.

Love Fishing with low pressure systems
Gavin replied to LittleRedFisherman's topic in General Angling Discussion
Sweet! Fish do bite when a front moves in. -
Welcome. There is a lifetime's worth of river fishing in this state. Some lake fishing too.
