Dang, I didn't know Drew was just a twirp Geeze I'm getting OLD Happy birthday guys. Hope you all had a good one.

KCR, Root doesn't wanna get his feet wet.

Not if you're into catching Gar You're right though, I can't think of anyplace I've ever been where the gar are as thick all year long. They truly need to be thinned out somehow.

I think it's more accurate to say: It has ENOUGH problems WITHOUT jets.

I can't speak for "the Rock" but up here at Lake Ozark the bigger gills are plentiful along the brushy creek channel banks where there is overhanging trees and brush. Nothing but little ones around the docks though.

The rocks are there to keep vehicles from clogging up the gravel bar at the swimming hole. Putting concrete ramps on the Niangua at Barclay and the 64 access was a mistake in my opinion, that is NOT jetboat water....or at least it shouldn't be. Any stretch of river that requires everyone to get out of the river and hug the bank everytime a jetboat comes by is not an appropriate stretch for that particular craft. Just because it's possible to run it doesn't make it ok, IMO.

You ain't seen nuthin' yet...stick around until about mid-February.

Mule farts need to be studied thoroughly before we go back to that.

Holy Smokes ! That is awesome country and those are some beautiful fish. You guys are livin' the life Man. You mean to tell me that there is a "Wrench creek" ? How could it possibly get any better than that ? No wonder you don't care that the board has gone to hell while you're gone ! I wouldn't either Just kiddin' y'all be safe and by all means stay out of helicopters.

Surely George and Sharon Frank caught that on film for Weaver's next upcoming blog. I wanna fish the park with you bro, you could clear the Johnson county boys out of a hole with a quickness.

Any more questions ? Good Lord what have I done ?!

That was great !!!!!

How did that stategy work for you when you were practicing law ?

They quit titling electric trolling motors about 15 years ago, if they have changed up again (which would not suprise me) I haven't heard about it. Titles and registrations on TM's is crazy, the identifying numbers are always on the plastic control box housing....which gets damaged and replaced frequently. There is no way to confirm that any TM is titled correctly if the serial number sticker is missing.

Why do you suppose that is ?

Excellent ! Nice work Nort.

Where could they possibly even come up with a number like that ? Sounds like something derived by adding up all the fudged insurance claims prepared by bait shop owners that got hit by floods, tornado's, earthquakes and Hurricanes. They have to be going by the numbers of what has been sold and had taxes paid on it. Most of which is NOT lost in the earth....it is holding down the floors of all of our garages and storage sheds.

Thanks Counselor, I knew you'd give us permission if we asked correctly.

Personally I'd prefer to hear what's REALLY on someones mind...instead of having to decypher some county boy's attempt at a polite and sensitive version of it. Eric gets hammered for speaking his mind on several issues, and I have too more times than I can remember. Smalliebigs got hammered for saying what was on his mind after another senseless drowning took place in his back yard, because the bleeding heart crew felt his comments were insensitive. Since when are Hunters, fishermen and general outdoor type riverfolk expected to be sensitive and hold their tongues all the time, especially when in the company of people that supposedly share the same lifestyle ? Allow Me.... STFU, Counselor Ness, I'd rather read an essay from Trav than to see another scolding post about literal christian behavior every time you run across a heated discussion.

OMG !!!! I got really drunk once and screwed a peacock.....Are you my Son ?

No-No, it's "Squarebob Spongepants" ! You live in a cave or sumpin' ? What's the water temp on those WB flats now ? And what size are the shad their chasing ? We have a million schools of tiny 2" shad surfacing on LO now, the schools are bigger than my house and although they flush from time to time like something is after them, I can't get a single bite. Just too much bait I'm thinkin'.

Ok I've googled and am now convinced....Lead=bad / Flouride=good

Possibly just Cabela's subtle way of asking everyone to stockpile so they can reduce their current inventory of lead products. The lead ban threat has been a controversy for over 20 years now....I find it almost impossible to get stressed out, or even concerned about it anymore.

Knowing the way the media operates, someone may have reported that he got a cramp and couldn't swim the rest of the way....So the story just came out as "he couldn't swim". A guy reportedly got "ran over by his own PWC" here at the lake during the shootout last weekend and suffered moderate injurys. The local news reported the cause as a "mechanical failure". The real situation (told to me by someone that was there on the dock) that he did not have the kill switch lanyard attached to his wrist, he went to hop up on a dock, slipped and fell, and when he popped back up he smacked his head on his wave-runner which was still running and knocked himself unconscious. Now that's not what I would call being "run over because of a mechanical failure".
