I always was kind of envious of you guys that live close to the clear water streams here in MO. But after reading this article, I think the muddy watered rivers in my neck of the woods look mighty appealing. No floaters, no jet boats, even no conoers. Just a river to yourself and figure just maybe I have it better off. A matter of fact, I have never seen a jet boat in these parts ever. There are a few long props around which is what you need for navigating waters around here. But a trolling motor is a standard engine for the rivers around here.

Thanks guys and thank you Al. Elk river right now i think would be quite low for I have been on it several times, and the oldest boy and the nephew paddled the first 11 miles out of Bennet Springs Sunday, but thought the scenery could have been better, plus the dragged bottom many times. You guys have given me some ideas to check out and now I can look at to which will be easy to shuttle. Again thanks.

Guys, I have not been on in some time for i have had no time for fishing. But I thought about squeezing some time out to do a canoe trip. Might be several canoes take part just for a good scenic experience. I know you guys know the rivers in southwest and south central and even central Missouri more then I do, so I ask if anyone would have a favorite 7 to 10 mile stretch with a view? Was thinking the Big Piney might be good, but have never been on it. I also know that some of the rivers around might be low in a few weeks, so that might need to be taken into consideration. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I had a aluminum 8 footer once that needed repaired. Finally junked it for got tired of looking at it. It had two seats and looked like it would have made a good little slow water boat. it weighed less then 50 pounds. Put many a mile on a 10/32 i used to have as well. the smaller ones are nice when loading and unloading.

Well I thought that was a great read. And wow what a opportunity. At least seeds have been planted and God's word will not return to Him void.

Seen this on another forum but thought I would post it here for all you to look at. Like to have the money it cost. But wow what a imagination.http://www.wimp.com/boatramp/

Any preference on jerkbaits you would want to share? I have a rapela But mainly use it as a crank bait in the spring.

For me it is the wife goes to sleep and I lay awake half the night trying to figure it out. Happens all the time.

It could have been like my beaver interruptions this year and I had at least ten. They didn't even pay much attention to me. I even had to get up and shew them away from my lines. if I was still a meat eater they would not have fared so well.

Sound like almost a disaster. remember almost tearing the back of a boat off when kicking a motor in gear at a fast idle. Never did that again.

My wife is from the Philippines where this recipe is from. She says only those that cant afford a pig for their wedding substitute dog. But as well she says it isn't an appropriate choice because the bride and groom will be barking back and forth throughout their marriage. Don't know if the pig would be much better with then that superstitious, for with the pig they might be squilling at each other..

Depends what society you are talking about. For there are many recipes out there with this being only one. Makes me thankful that I am a Vegetarian .

neighbor used to butcher pobelly pigs all the time. People would get tired of them and pretty much give them to him. But I have to admit he ate about anything.

Sounds like the 45 70 I used to own. And I say used to. Yes never had a dear get away with it but man I finally got tired of the recoil.

Let's see you give it a bath in the toilet LOL
