I have a 75 gallon I'd be willing to sell

Maybe he thought he had the whole cove reserved for his dumb a**.

Really nice, congrats.

Just calling it as I see it

I have 2 Cabela's RLO combos, a 5 wt & a 8wt I don't think these combos come with good line so I'm looking to replace it. The 8 wt I will be using for bass fishing throwing streamers & poppers etc the 5 wt more for trout & pan fish. The local fly shop is having an open house in 2 weeks and one of the specials is bring in your old line & get $20 off any Scientific Anglers line. My problem is with so many choices what would be my best bet?

I have fished in some ponds around here and the water in them looks nothing like Table Rock. I would say visibility is about 2-2.5 ft. Nothing big but I did catch fish on them. Took the wife and rigged her up with a Neds and she was, out catching me, I spent all my time taking her fish off and didn't have time to fish. I think PBJ is best color with the next being GP.

Not really sure what makes a canoe solo but this one is made with Royale as AL mentioned not a Wenonah but sounds like a good deal. www.kcpaddler.com/inc/sdetail/785/116 it's a Nexus (Bell Canoe Works)

Maybe he's a professional hunter, Fisher person............

Wow Mrs Be that was one nice fish. . Congrats

Went to Presler lake this evening after supper and through a nymph out off the bank into some old lily pads left over from last year. Hooked this little guy. At 1st I thought I was snagged until the tip of the pole started going from side to side. He didn't put up much of a fight and his little body was pretty cold. Nothing to brag about but it was a fish.

That was cool, the look on her face was priceless. She'll have a story to tell the other kids when she gets back home.

All the videos I saw on the Hobie they were in a lake. The Mirage drive lifts from inside the yak, not sure how heavy it would be to lift while sitting down. The Native Slayer Propel 13 is real interesting looking yak, the fact that it will back up is really cool. From what I can find they run about $2500 for the basic model, the you can add the accessories you want. Thanks for the tip Plastic-worm from what I saw I like it better than the Hobie. According to Native The Alpine Shop in Kirkwood is a dealer but they are not listed on their web site. Might have to run by there next week and check.

I know that trolling motors aaren't registered any more in Mo. Is something to think about.

You did way better than I did today BilletHead, I was like Wrench I didn't see a thing and nothing was biting. Of all the people fishing I only heard one catch a fish and I didn't see it so I don't know how big it was. I have a 9' 5WT and had made some worm looking flies to mimick a senko. They would not cast worth a crap, I couldn't even roll cast. Granted I new to this fly fishing but I think my rod was to light for the flies I was trying to cast. When I went to a 14 wooly bugger it was much better. I'm thinking I need a 7 or 8WT. BTW very nice post and pretty fish too.

That looks like it might be a Pflueger Trion which is there bottom of the line reel. I personally use Presidents and have some some Purist. If you want a large spool reel there is the Pflueger Arbor which currently is on sale at Dunn's Sporting Goods for $59.88, free shipping normally an $80 reel.

From the videos it looks like the paddles might be some kind of rubber. You can also get both paddles to go flush to the bottom of the yak. The Mirage drive come out real easy so in shallow water you could pop it out of it's hole and paddle too. I saw a video a while ago where they took a Watersnake trolling motor and mounted it through the Mirage drive plug. You steered the yak with the rudder.

I have been thinking for a while that I want/need a kayak. I have a 16' jon boat with a 20 hp prop on it, trolling motor and all. Used the heck out of it the 1st year I had it, the next year not so much and last year I don't think I had it out at all. It's a nice boat and I enjoy it but needs to be a jet for around here especially as low as the water have been lately. I'm about 10 minutes from the lower meramec. Back to the kayak, while looking at different kayaks for fishing I came across the Hobie Pro Angler with the Mirage drive. This seems like a really cool way to power a kayak especially when you want to fish from it. I am also a big boy at 6' and 275 lbs, plus 68 yrs old. Does anyone have any experience with the Hobie Pro Angler? Do you think that getting a kayak I would be biting off more that I can chew? I have no idea how hard on it would be to paddle and I also realize that the answer would also depend on the water. I could go to Simpson lake and get use to handling one before hitting the river. The other thing is just how practical is a kayak for someone who normally fishes by themselves? I know in a lake it's not a big deal just paddle back to the insertion point. On a river it's a different story. from reading the post here it appears that you yak guys put in at one place then float to another. This doesn't seem like it would work for a loner. Thanks

Maybe he pissed Mother Nature off and she wacked him. Hey dumb butt don't stand under trees with dead limbs they might fall off and wack you.

You can get them online in Missouri, pay the fee, print it and your done.

Might get some interest at tinboats.net, bunch of guys there with tin boats.

Next time one of mine runs out of ink I will save it for you

Yes sir I would say so. That explains the trip to Mass this time of year.

Man that's a lot of snow, little more and you won't be able to see the house. Sort of reminds me of last winter when I was going to Elkhardt, In to pickup trailers & busses. The snow was stacked higher than the street signs. The 2" we got yesterday was enough to last me till next winter.

Welcome aboard.....

Those are nice. What are you using to give them the slick shiny finish?
