Cut back on the catalyst and that won't happen.

Too much time off is my theory regarding Shields difficulties. His main problem was control of the change up.

Yeah I need to get on Shoal Creek and Big Sugar again, it's been far too long.

May I be so bold as to ask what size XPS? Going to Truman next week with a buddy and have used Hopkins there with good success before but always willing to look at something else.

Basically fine. The left one gets the same treatment 11/18/14. Then I should be good to go for the duration.

That is pretty peak waterfowling time.

You should come. It's a good time with some quality people and some really good fishing.

I lived in St. Charles for a while. I have a Lab buried in one of the levy's there. Bittersweet memory for certain.

Better looking too.

Facts have a well known liberal bias.

Way cool.

The best fan sign I've seen so far: "Cain is Able"

Yeah, that's not their usual M.O. either. That one hurt to watch.

Nice!

I used to live in Jefferson City. Did a lot of throw lines on the Missouri. Throwline is about 30' of main line with five 18" droppers set about four feet apart. Window weight on the bottom, top tied to something solid - tree limb best. Used a piece of innertube between line and anything that wasn't springy on it's own. Saves a lot of fish from getting off. Set parallel to current in flathead habitat - wood or big rip rap. We used bigger bait than what you are using in the post - bought carp from the hatchery in Taberville or caught perch from farm ponds when we could. Also used big circle hooks exclusively. We killed a lot of catfish, flatheads and blues both that way. Dark of the moon in June was one peak, a good fall rise was another, and really anytime in October/early November.

I don't know why you guys are off the blues. They eat really well too, just get every bit of red out. I don't put a knife on a channel cat that's bigger than maybe 2 pounds.

You got it Jim. Hang in there.

Nice report budman, thanks for posting.

Kershaw 1-5 in postseason going tonight on 3 days rest. Hoping for an honest to pete ROUT by the Redbirds. And to see Puig continue to struggle mightily and in vain. And to hear more whining from Matt Kemp blaming the umpire for well, basically everything.

Good luck.

I am in for Friday and Saturday. Grandson is up in the air right now - not sure about finals schedule.

I might have had my Chief's colored glasses on regarding our QB. Smith was ranked 19th overall in 2013 and is currently ranked 24th so far in 2014. HANG HIM!

I cleared that little problem up by moving Christmas party to 12/19/14 so I am golden for whatever. Leaning towards coming down early Friday morning. Who's going to handle reservations at Riley's?

Company Christmas Party on 12/12/14. I will arrive Saturday AM. Unless there is sentiment for fishing Thursday and/or Friday. Which I would do and then just go home Friday night and come back on Saturday.
