There is a guy who goes by "Uncle Steve" on Youtube. He does bluegill fishing, no driving, no music, no flyrod, no expensive lures, mostly just worms. I enjoy his videos and subscribed a while back. But it has been mentioned a couple of posts ago, these videos on here are lightyears ahead. I don't judge on whether or not certain content has been added/ommitted, I judge if I like it or not. So far, I have not been disapointed on here.

I appreciate all of the contributions submitted by others for everyone's enjoyment Pics, Videos, Stories etc. It is not always about the "Fish". I enjoy the ride to a new place, I enjoy the landscape of new (fishing) spots. Sure it is easy to come in and give a negative comment when drunk, but can you give the same negative comment when sober? I like the parts of the video showing the drive to new locations, usually I drive at night. Keep submitting. Side request, Hey Cheif, if you find any more of the Conservation Videos,please post them. I know they don't show fish being caught, but they are relaxing.

I enjoyed it as well. Thanks for sharing with this office chair fisherman.

Mic, The Alpine Shop has a few classes on Kayaks comming up, and also the "Demo Days" Check out thier website for dates and locations. Also if you become a fan of thier guest list/email list, you will get a one time coupon to be used on 1 item (boats/kayaks excluded). I was able to use the coupon with no problem. They had a decent amount of stock onhand at the Kirkwood Rd Location when I went in. Oh, and I did not attend the boat show, but seen some monsters being towed in. ( the wife works across from the America's Center)

If you could only have/use one: Shotgun, rifle, handgun - Rifle Kayak, boat, canoe - canoe River, Pond, Lake - River Flyrod, spin, or baitcaster - Spin Lure - small spinner Fly - Not experienced enough.... Color of Jig - Red/Black on one Color of plastic craw/worm - Dark colored Live bait or lures - Live Bait Only catch Smallmouth, Crappie, Largemouth, trout, catfish, panfish - Grand Daddy Catfish. My answers may change an hour from now, but this is how I see it for now.

The can of soda was great.

Yea, Mic, that is what I do mostly, luckily my oldest boy can do most of it by himself now. Both of my boys will bait their own hooks, and try to remove the fish they catch. Usually we do catch and release, but he wanted to take the big one home so bad that I allowed him to. He was also able to earn a Fishing Merit Badge by Catching, Cleaning, Cooking and, of course eating two fish. Dad messed up and put too much salt in the water to take away the fishy taste and then thought if a half hour is good, overnight must be great..... Some of the meat was just too salty and we were not able to eat it, but the majority was excellent. We were using night crawlers by the way.

I like this one. I won't be telling it to the wife though. I'm not that big of a man

Good tip :-)

OK guys, I finally downloaded my pics from the phone to the puter. We went fishing at a private sub-division pond in South St Louis County. My phone died so I could not get more pics, there were more sunfish caught by both of my boys. I was skunked, and am OK with it (now).

Jay Henges Conservation Area http://mdc.mo.gov/regions/st-louis/jay-henges-shooting-range in the St Louis Area already offers that. They supply the clays and the machine for almost the price of the clays themselves at Walmart. Very nice outdoor range all new for the pistol/rifle section. Wed, Feb 6, they offer "Introduction to Firearms". I hope this helps at least 1 person.

Sounds like a good day. :-)

My boys got those same 'copters this year. They also got cap guns, and cap grenades. I was very surprised to find the old style paper caps at the local Dollar General store. I am on a mission to buy my kids as many toys that spark thier imagination and make them use thier hands.

I can see it, and play it. Maybe if you update your browser, do a disc cleanup, or something of that nature. Those problems have created similar symptoms for me. Sorry that I have nothing more to contribute.

I liked it. Keep it up.

What is wrong with the laws we already have? It is already illegal to shoot someone unprovoked. The problem is enforcement. Lets keep threatening the public, but never do anything. It works for parents.... oh, wait, it doesn't work. Make stricter laws all you want, if someone is willing to commit suicide, you will not win, PERIOD. You can not have a Minority Report type of government. You will not find all of the mentally disturbed people, how would you start? by asking? "are you crazy?" "NO!", "Oh, sorry we had to ask..." I've said jokingly for years "Crazy people think they are normal". If someone who is mentally disturbed says that they aren't, can you uphold that as a lie? Think about it.

I will open the door for us po' people. I adore the Zebco 33 combo. I have multiples of them, and have never seen a reason to upgrade or change. My fly rod setup is a Bass Pro special (spent about $79.99 ready to go). My "River Rods" are a bit more expensive, not sure of the brand, I was given them in exchange for some work as a teenager. I work about 60-70 hours a week, have 3 kids, do scouting,sports, and cook when I'm off work. I just don't have the extra money to justify buying a more expensive setup. Maybe I don't catch the fish that others do, but I also don't put in the time that others do. I do appreciate the topic and hope that others will participate so that when I decide to upgrade from the sandbox, I have some direction.

This is the kind of post I love. Keep it up guys, I'm sure many would rate this as a like, or 5star.

Jack, yes, mine was abandoned on a piece of property I bought. It was there when I purchased the property. Mine in question is a 10' flat bottom jon boat. Not very valuable, but I wanted to use a trolling motor on a local creek. As far as the fines go, I would not take the chance (just me). Maybe you could sell this one, and take the money and purchase one with a title on craigslist.

Good info. Glad I asked. As far as I know, with catfish, you can "massage" the belly area, kinda squeeze it and it will "burp". This is supposed to help protect it from the difference of air pressure. I usually do not fish at these depths, so I am fairly unfamiliar with this method.

I applied for an abondoned Title registration for a flat bottom boat. I did not know the year of the boat, it was the last 2 digits of the serial number. Maybe it is the same for canoes, I'm not sure. I had to set up a time with the highway patrol to inspect the boat and to give me the last known address of the last registered title owner. Here in the St Louis area, they have a few locations that they will be at and do the inspections on site. What they do is look at the watercraft, record any serial number/registration numbers etc. Look up on thier computer to see if it was ever reported as stolen, and if it was ever registered. They will give you the form #798, (at least in my case, it was not available online). I had to mail a letter(Form 5227) to the last known owner, and wait 30 days for them to respond. Im my case, the last registered owner moved, and I could not locate them. I had to then, mail the request for title to the State of MO with all of the requirements on the second page of form 5227. Here is a link to the highway/water patrol to set up for an inspection http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/WaterPatrol/serialNumberVerificationStations.html at the bottom of the page is a link to the State of Missouri for titleing watercraft. Fair warning, once sent to the State of MO, it took about 2 1/2 months to get my title in the mail to be able to get my stickers, which I could not get from my local license bureau, I had to mail for them seperately. Once you recieve them, you will also get a boater card (Separately) which you are required to have in your possesion while operating the watercraft while under power.

What do you mean by " fizz a catfish" ?, Also, why wouldn't it "Go back down"? Sorry to sound like a newby, but I am in new territory here. I guess it is because of the depth and it is to do with the lack of oxygen compared to comming up? Is 'fizz' the same as 'burp'?

I love how your son always looks surprised when the fish jumps, and when he sets the hook. You always make great videos.
