Stellar looking Po Boy!

All of the good polarized lenses come from one or two factories in Japan. Brand really does not matter. The top end lenses are the same. I like glass over polycarbonate lenses, but they are pretty close in clarity.

Looking for Bait Casting rod recommendations

Mud hole is the place 2 go. Shipping is expensive so order all at once. Have really liked the blanks from Batson/Rainshadow as well. -

North fork Composites makes short casting blanks. I love my 5’6” with a 5” grip. Great canoe rod. -
Fun moment at the local pond. About 12 local ducks and 2 dozen local geese usual. Many more on the pond today. Just go to listen because you can’t shoot them there. Called twice and had 3 I did not see come in wings and feet down then flair at 10yrds. Had 1/2 dozen swimming towards me. I suck at calling, but got some response today

Assemble your own. It’s the only way that you get what you want. There is a small learning curve and tooling commitment. -
There are breeding pairs of bald eagles all over MO now. Plenty around the big lakes and trout parks.
-
That’s cool. Have never seen a Golden Eagle in MO before.

Watco is just a brand named boiled linseed oil. It works fine. Epoxy would work too but more expense and more mess.

Welcome, but you are internet scouting. Get a map, burn some gas and find your own spots. The Cuiver is wadeable in spots. The Salt holds fish too. Above and below the lake. Clearer water streams are south of the Missouri R. mostly.

Easy to spatchcock a chicken. Kitchen scissors or my knife will do. I do grab the tin snips out of the garage for a turkey. Did a turkey breast for lunch meat before the roast beast yesterday. Toss the backbone in your stock pot with the rest for gravy.

No reason for them to fly south this year.

It’s always fun when you find the X in the winter time. Good for you guys. Don’t tell, and don’t hammer them too often.

Had our party last night. Rib roast, potatoes gratin, creamed spinach, green beens with balsamic, butter,& shallots. Spatchcocking a turkey is the only way to go. Basically, you cut the spine out then flatten out the breast. Cook on a wire rack on top of a sheet pan. Y’all have a great one!

Got all my shopping done today. Plan to prep these tomorrow & smoke on Monday.

Pick a date & time mid January.

Big, Fat, Fatty v Skinny. It’s all the same. Turn out the light and get on with it.

I’m fine with Ferguson Brewery...have never been there. Do they serve food? Meet new folks, try a new venue is the basic idea. Think weekday before Super Bowl would have allot of free calendars.
-
Thinking a Happy Hour would be the easiest. Lots of good restaurants in Chesterfield.
-
Yep, you need something to tow if you have a truck. That tailgate will get $ no questions asked at most scrap yards in STL. Maybe a bit less with the artwork.

What are your fishing goals for 2019??

Hang in there Stinger! My buddy is still recovering from that. Had the stem cell reset. Doing better. -
In the lab not in the wild. It is plainly stated in the article you posted. Smallmouth will hybridized with all of the other smalljaw species in the wild, but not largemouth. If you call a fish a Meanmouth you are just misinformed.
-
Start a west side group.
-
Largemouth won’t cross with a spotted bass outside of a lab. Pretty Spot/Smallie Hybrid. More spot than smallie.
-
Thinking a new location every time. New good, or classic old joints.
