Gotta do what you gotta do.

Awfully nice offer BH. How can I pass it up? Count me in.

Facebook Chester Illinois buy sell trade has one for 250.00 currently. Not sure where you are.

Probably a good idea to use it for a whole season before using it in the winter.

Marty, thanks for sharing. As do you, I also really enjoy the hobbies mentioned and explained on this forum.

I only see one cast when he posts on here. Where is it posted daily?

Interesting topic. Here is a picture I took this morning. The moon was in a neat position. This is not my house, but a neighbor up the street.

Yea, um, his looked nothing, nothing like that. Lol. Black, and brown, with nubby spaced teeth, whiskers/barbells, and scales. Looked prehistoric.

I am told that the Mississippi River "stocks" the lakes in the park during the floods. A few years ago we went and my now 11 year old son caught a bowfin. I had NO idea what it was. It unhooked right as we were swinging it over the boat. I got a good look at it, and explained it to a guy in the parking lot. He called it a dogfish. We looked it up and eventually found it to be the bowfin. Let me tell you, it was concerning me that no one would believe me. It was as ugly as a fish I've ever seen. Teeth spaced, barbells like a catfish, scales and a long forehead. Lol. No telling what is in that park. I enjoy it. They also rent boat, and kayaks in the park.

Yankee, welcome. Please comle back and let us know what worked for you.

I know that spot! Great fish.

@Macsimus lives up north. Maybe he can give some advice?

The girls were so proud of their catch. Gotta zoom in. LOL

I celebrated my 40th last Wednesday. It has been a tradition of my family and my wife's best friends family to camp to celebrate my birthday. The kids had a great time. My daughter Eva, and her daughter Avery share the same birthday 1 year apart. We fished at a lake separated by a street from our campsite. Avery had never caught a fish before. That changed this weekend. Thanks to @Johnsfolly and his little plastic lure. We even had doubles. Both girls caught a fish at the same time. Avery out caught all of us. I squeeked out 1 green sunfish. My 11 year old boy really, really wanted to catch a 'big' fish. We couldn't find a single bass (did not try the ned). I told him we could use one of the sunfish, cut in half as bait. We waited until almost dusk, casted as far, as we (he) could. He waited a while, then supper was ready. Put his pole in a holder, added a bell and just a few minutes later I seen the pole bend. I called him, he came running. He caught his 'big' fish. A good size channel cat.

Happy birthday Phil. I turned 40 on the 12th. Went fishing this past weekend. I'll have the lack of report on shortly.

Still available. Floats shallow

I still have my Gheenoe for sale. It has very similar qualities as the NuCanoe. See previous listings.

There is an intersection in St Louis city called Grand and Gravois there is a Schnucks there. Schnucks is our local grocery store it's been about 2 or 3 hours there and you will see all of that and more. We have Lone Oak Park which has elk, Whitetail, turkey and bison amongst a lots of other wildlife. We also have the st. Louis Zoo and Grant's Farm which has every animal that I desire to see caged. This city boy will take a ride on the boat any day though.

Yes please !!

Awesome trip, neat to see it play out on multiple pages and almost "live" to boot. Thanks for sharing with those of us who are drooling wishing their circumstances were just a little different. GOOD job to both of you.

Not to discredit Dennis, sounds like a good guy. Many, many people are much better than the media would have us believe. We have had many posts on here people looking to reunite someone with lost property. As the newer country song goes, "I believe most people are good..."

I remember when snowboarding made it to sports tv. Sims was the only board. I'm a skateboarder. Not good, but I love riding it. Fun fact: I graduated in 96, my high school ring (which I still wear everyday) has skateboarding, and fishing engraved into it.

I love these trips. I REALLY enjoy reading about your adventures. You always give the little things that don't really amount to fishing, but they make it the adventure. i.e. the picnic table with stickers, the picture of Pat cooking the mixed fries, you get the point. I really appreciate it, when I get to CO next time, I'm gonna tell some one about your story. Wouldn't it be something if it was someone you met along the way?

Ouch! Seems to be going around lately.

Very neat trip. Always great when the whole family catches.
