Good for you, Clay. That little girl looks so much at peace. Now, hopefully for you she grows up and helps with maintaining her new best friend.

x2 well said, keep us posted with all activity.

I have never been pinched by a crawfish/crawdad but that one would worry me. Do they not pinch as hard as I'm thinking they would?

Thank you for the waders and boots, great price and shipped fast, packed well. Daryk.

-2 you have been zeroed out.... Love that one. Good job Ness.

Until you know how well it runs, and you are comfortable with it, go up river, not down. This way if something goes wrong the current will bring you back. Some of the best advice I was ever given.

You will have great karma, maybe the agent will call you and remove the citation. My friend and I were fishing as teens, got checked, his license was expired, he didn't realize it, and was ticketed. The following day the agent called my buddy ad told him not to worry, the ticket was being dismissed.

Just remember this, there are many more good people than bad. We just have a hard time spreading the good stories. Sucks for this to happen, but think of how many people passed your boat with no intent on removing anything. The odds are still in your favor. Hopefully those who are involved get caught.

I love fresh fried catfish.

I have done business with Joe, got quality stuff for a more than fair price. Hope all's well with you Joe.

NICE!! That is cool. I really hope my kids think of me that way when I am older. What am I saying, they already do. I get to fish 2 times a year with the kids for sure, Fathers day, and my birthday. Good on you, Glory Daze.

Luckily for me, your not near me. I would have some explaining to do. .. hope you sell it soon.

Sawyer mini is a great water purifier. It works similar to the lifestraw, but with less limitations. About $20.00 depending on where you go. I got a 4 pack on ebay for $17.00 each after shipping.

That is a nice buffalo.

Can anyone direct me to an outfit that would rent a boat/trailer combo in the St Louis Area, or just a boat on a lake? I rented a pontoon at Lilley's and the family had a blast. Wanted to know if there was anyone in this area that rented. Thanks for any input. I am aware of the canoe/raft rentals, but I want a boat. A couple hours away is not a problem, just do not have the time to go to The Rock/ Lake O, etc.

About the WD40, a guy on YouTube actually contacted the manufacturer, and asked them if it contains fish oil, if they recommend it, so on. According to him ( muddy river catfishing) it is legend, WD40 is not really making any difference. I haven't tried it, and I cannot be sure one way or another, but I do not want to pollute any waters with any additional toxins. Check out his video, he is a down to earth guy, he gives a lot of tips for catching catfish, and other species. He also sponsored a kid's fishing day in his area for kids that have not fished before, supplied rods, reels, tackle, bait etc. Hijack over. Daryk

I second SmallieBigs, have always enjoyed your contributions. Thanks for taking the time to share. Be safe, and enjoy it up there.

Thank You to all who have sacrificed all. Shame that people do not care enough to learn more about how to find different solutions, than to sacrifice lives of others.

cool video, thanks for making it.

Great read. Thanks for sharing. Just celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary. I hope you continue to have great times on and off of the water. Daryk

"I wanted you to feel the short shock of the cool water, see its murky greenness, and enjoy the thrill of the current as it pulled you downstream when you were taking a swim. Do you ever feel as refreshed as when you take a swim and then dry out on a hot gravel bar? After a long, shitty winter Summer is almost here. Get out there and enjoy some river magic. " Well put, and thanks for taking us along.

Sounds like fun. Creeks hold some large catfish.

Am I the only nerd who scanned through all of the "BLAH's" to see if another word was implanted?

Nice addition.

Very neat, something that I believe will be cherished, especially if you show her how it is done. As a young boy, I did not appreciate things that were handmade/homemade, unless I had to do it myself. Then I realized what it took to make it, and I really enjoyed it more.
