The Lady always wins.

Looking forward to giving them.

I'm talking about the Maximum Capacity placard. That is not needed? If not, party on! That has had me worried.

I guess I conveniently overlooked that. Guess I know what I will be doing next. Any advice on removing and reusing the registration stickers? Another question, anyone know how to get a coast guard plaque? Mine was painted over multiple times and is not legible.

What's wrong with them?

Took my newly finished (almost) boat to Rte 66 state park for the easy boat launch. I wanted to test out my new toy. I bought this boat to flip, but decided it was a diamond in the rough. (Polished turd was recently done on here.) With some help from the little ones, I was able to transform my junker to a jewel. My son helped me until after midnight last night with the last minute touches to be able to launch, and tow safely. My son caught the only fish on this trip, (I can't say I wasn't trying), although it was really a test and tune trip. I am very proud and satisfied with what it has turned out to be. I don't have many interior shots, but I like the comforts so far. I seen a gray Scion at the launch with 3 OAF stickers on it, not sure who's it was.

This post was 9 years ago. Almost to the day. It was a different world. I am a product of St Louis Public Education. There are truths to what has been stated. I am glad the drunken man was ok, and that someone else was worried enough to stop and try to help.

Thanks for the report. I want to get out there.

Doing my part.

I believe there is a phone app that follows most of your ideas. Whether or not it is accurate, I have no experience. I don't spend the time on or near water to experiment. I am interested in the experience of others.

^^^ dang!

We use a 2 burner propane flat top griddle with scouts. It is really a useful tool. I'm not sure the brand, but it makes short work of breakfast and other meals. Has a grease hole with a catch tray in the corner. While I prefer to use cast iron, this is not.

@Haris122 I like them. How was the creek level?

As someone who has a hard time justifying that amount of money (not that it is not earned), I would expect the full package. I have learned from this Forum that is not likely. Had I never came across here, that would be my expectation. We have learned over the years, what it takes, and the reality of a guide trip. I don't believe most everyday people understand that. Myself, I don't care to get up early and out the door that early on vacation. But on a fishing trip, I would have no problems. As far as bait selections, I am no purist, but I would expect an education on the items used.

Now it's time for me to brag a little. I let my son use his new kayak on his first solo float. Now it was only 1/4 to 1/2 Mile. It was also on a creek that had little or no current. I dropped him off made sure he was going to be safe, he broke off on a snag on his second cast. I threw him a Ned rig but he never tied it back on. Mom did not know about this float, until afterward. He did fine. He has recently completed the Lifesaving merit badge, small boat sailing merit badge, Along with the kayaking merit badge at 2 week long camps. I was not worried. I did take the opportunity to try to fish. I got 3 very small green sunfish on a Brown rooster tail.

Very cool. Good job Dad.

Them are nice fish, but that boat! I am envious. I love the idea of a raised platform, and standing while driving. I will get there , just gonna take a bit.

Jimathy, the ones who are posting are worth listening to, even though they are rough with the comments/responses. I am actually impressed with the validity/quality that has been given. I think of fishing reports similar to gambling reports. No one tells you when they lose, but always happy to advertise when they win. Btw, you should feel privileged. You brought Paul Dallas out of retirement. That is no small feat.

New OAF term. "Freaking Sealion". To go along with "stinking bass".

Awesome.

Awesome trip, hope you enjoyed our small town. I am not much for Kettlehuts, but most seem to like it. The fishing trip sounds like alot of fun. I am really sorry to hear about the rod.

Glad to see you guys met up. Thanks for the report. Miss ya Marty.
