That looks like a Hybrid killer !

What's that 500 supposed to do, cover your deductible ? Any decent body shop already does that. It'd be kinda cool for those of us that only carry liability ins. Opens a door for fraud in a big way though. I have plenty of deer hair to rub on fenders and stuff.

Yep, boats sink. Bass boats with livewell plumbing especially. Soon I will replace a dozen or more livewell valves that froze, swelled up and busted over the Winter. Never fails, every Spring. An auto bilge is often the only indicator the operator gets that a boat it taking on water before it's too late. (Too late: meaning there's too much water in the boat to get on plane.) So if you do not have an Auto Bilge switch....Get one!

No idea.

Kinda depends on the stretch. The G'nade is longer, so.... I guess yeah, the Gasconade is better.

Big enough to swallow a Volkswagon ?

Or the Spoonbill project (stupidest thing EVER).

Here's a few ways they can save money.... Do some maintenance on their trucks and stop allowing all the agents/employees to use them AND THE FUEL CARDS to do all their personal errands while not on the clock....ya know, so the vehicles last several years longer. Those boys/girls get paid plenty well enough to afford their own personal car. Sell the dam high-dollar John Deere Gators at all the state parks and replace with wheelbarrows to move bags of trout food and such across the street. Wonder what ol' Kaching Mahing gets paid for his pictures for the Conservationist magazine ? Should I go on.... ? MDC does some really cool stuff, but they also piss away MILLIONS on ridiculousness. The part that sends me orbital is when they threaten to close all accesses IF the gravy train has to slow down.

Population of Mo is about 6m, Fishing permits alone are 12.00 Do the math.

Fins, the big deal is.... FORTY TWO MILLION dollars per year ! I don't care who you are or what you're doing, that's ALOT of freaking dough to play with. If they loose that then we might stop getting magazines. Pffft.

One can only hope. They ran as high as Kelly ford last time. That's far enough to insure a successful spawn I'd say.

For all intents and purposes.....No

Rio Grand or SA GPX, either will do great on the BVK. I like to cut about 3' off the tip of the line since "delicate presentations" aren't my thing.

LMAO! Good one!!!

I call this a Hardtail Clouser. White bass like it OK, but Walleye seem to REALLY like it. Never tried it on trout waters. Hmmm

Oh I can live with less trout, and as far as catfish go......they've been around a lot longer than MDC has. I learned a long time ago not to become overly attached to anything that can disappear overnite. Ya know, if the MDC wants to be free from state legislature then they should not go to bed with Family Support payment services. Taking away someone's "legal" right to fish/hunt because they got behind on court ordered alimony payments is freakin' bull$#!t. "Take A Kid Fishing!".....oh wait, you're late paying off your ex-wife....Nevermind, you can't.

Well then if nobody can claim it then we can't be charged for "trespassing", or ordered to leave, can we ?

We have already paid (in full) for those "resources". So if they are " taken away" from us then WHO gets to claim them ?

What was the Windyville guage reading the last time you failed to find enough fish ? When the river is at 2.0 or below the rainbows school up like crappie in specific little spots. If it is a little above 2.0 then they kinda spread out and act alot more like trout. As far as the stocking goes, no I don't believe they stock even 1/2 of what they claim they do, but IMO they stock enough, considering their method. If they stocked more heavily then they should "float stock" instead of merely dumping them in at the accesses....but they don't seem to have the time or energy to do anything that involves that much effort.

I throw the big ones on a 9wt., and the smaller one on a 7. They cast fine, no problem there.

A piece of duct tape will probably outlive that 4-stroke.

Yep, cover it up. Duct tape comes to mind, it should last as long as that 4S 50hp.

Pete, either you are filthy stinkin' rich.....or your daughter doesn't have the same insatiable appetite for shopping and expensive attire that mine does. No really, her SHOES cost more than my TRUCK ! Therefore she works AND STILL stays on the Dean's list.

Rut, I'll see if I can put together a SBS before it is time to start throwing them. To the uninitiated they look like a Blockhead popper knockoff, but what they really are is a fly rod buzzbait.

Love Googlys !
