I want to thank you all for your input. I have always had ultra low blood pressure, and am generally cold. These ideas, reviews and information really give me a direction. (Even though I am not the one who asked)

Sounds like a good deal to me. As long as the lands have something for everyone, I like them. I love to camp at state parks myself.

I think that the cold temperatures of concrete may play a factor in the old myth. The wood acts as an insulator from the concrete and gives a more stable temperature, maybe...?

Never heard of them. Where in St Louis?

Macsimus (Cal) is great. He just doesn't seem to like to show off his real skill. I just hope to continue my trend of doubling the number of fish caught the prior year. I do plan on being there.

I figured it was currently one of a kind. His video didn't show anything caught. Glad he has caught something with it. I really do hope he continues to do well with his business. Small business owners rock.

I typically don't keep fish, but was not aware of cleaning them at the ramp being illegal. What is the problem? I thought it was a common practice.

Had me laughing also (at the post). I have never used a spoon, and am curious. I primarily fish in creeks and rivers, lots of debris. I'm afraid that I will snag left and right with an exposed treble hook.

Just goes to prove the old adage, "you don't have to catch a fish, you gotta catch a fisherman ". $1650.00 for a bait that hasn't ever caught a fish.....

I wonder if he will charge shipping.

Just checking in. I'm 38... lol. (Really I am)

The only place that gets cleaner during the flooding than prior.

We can have "JoeFest". I would be interested.

Amazing opportunity. I will see if I can swing the time off.

Hello, and welcome .

I have an extended cab Dakota. I really worry about breaking the tips. I will give the jackets a try, also the padded band. Is that just a velcro band?

All. I am possibly going to buy a new rod in the next few days or month. I have couple one piece rods, and have a hard time getting then out of the cab of my truck. They are not 7 footers. Just curious if there wad something that I am missing. I could put them in the bed, but it is open. Too easy for grab-n-go.

OK, just to add to the mix. 1 piece, or 2 piece? Why? How do you store/transport the 1 piece?

Very nice!

^^^took me a moment.

I have actually already made a dolly/ trailer and it works out okay. Needs bigger wheels. Probably need something like a deer cart. My other problem is weight. Myself and kids just get a little uncomfortable for the small boat. I bought the Gheenoe to make it easier, now we have two and I am sure it will. Just trying to make it easier to get to a couple ponds that are not walk-in friendly. Might as well just deal. I also don't believe that I use half of the capacity of a large battery. Oh well, I ask, you answer, now to do the right thing. ;-)

The battery question has been adressed a few times. Here is my twist. I have a 10 foot flat bottom Jon. I have a deep cycle 34 series and it's is very heavy. I do not trailer, and usually have to carry a decent distance. I have been toying with the idea of using a small deep cycle battery, about the size of a power sports battery. I have a 36lb thrust trolling motor. Maybe go out 4 hours on small streams. Any experience? This is probably going to be on my Xmas wish list. By the way.

When I was just a kid, I fished to the city ponds exclusively. There were many ducks and geese. As a kid who was not catching anything would do, I practiced my casting by aiming at the geese and ducks. I never got one. Quite a few years later, while fishing in one of my favorite ponds, I casted out. To my surprise I finally caught one of the ducks that I had come to believe to be impossible to catch, truly by accident. Luckily for me, and the duck, a friend's dad who was also there knew that if you pulled a certain way on the leg, it would put the duck in a state that would not allow it to move. Essentially you straighten out the leg, and the duck could not move. Made it much easier to remove the hook and tangled line. That day will always be in my mind. Funny, I couldn't tell you how many times I tried to hook one. Not even knowing what I would do if I caught one. Luckily the day I did, and adult was there to guide me. Thanks Triple E, wherever you are.

If you ever make it to South St Louis County, try Cafe Telegraph. It's the old Rec Room, for the locals. They have a pork chop that is charred. Looking at it I was very turned off, upon eating it, yum! Love these posts by the way. I am sorry that I have not contributed yet. DC
