    It is really nice to see someone who appreciates what we have like you do. Really good video and congratulations on the nice McCloud.

    Those are seriously nice fish. Sounds like it was a great trip all around. Cut bait I'm guessing. Skipjacks maybe?

    Three year trailer = $22.50 + 3.50 for using a contract license office = $26.00 Three year boat = $55.00 + 3.50 for using a contract license office = $58.50 One time outboard motor decal = $2.00 +3.50 for using a contract license office = $5.50 You can go to a State run DMV office and avoid the contract license office fees. Pretty sure there is one in Springfield but it wasn't worth the drive to me. Get a waterproof box and keep the paperwork in your boat. If you ever get stopped, they will want to see it.

    I stopped for one of those voluntary inspection things a few years back up on Mark Twain Lake. Had everything in the boat they were looking for - life jackets, throwable cushion, fire extinguisher, airhorn, registration paperwork, everything. I felt really smart for a while. Until I actually got a warning ticket because my letters were too close together, had to take all the letters off, get new ones and install with the 2" spacing between the three groups of letters. Take Bill's advice on this one.

    It was that way last week too. Didn't try the creeks. Did OK but not great near the dam when they were running water, bet for us was along the bluff below Point Lookout. 1/8 oz olive/ginger Zig Jig got the most fish, white was second, brown/orange was a bust. When there's nothing running, I had the boys fish below the Fall Creek boat dock with gulp eggs. Plenty of action that way.

    Glad to hear that.

    I knew there was a reason I liked you as soon as I met you. That last picture really is the memory maker. Thanks for putting this kind of thing on the board.

    This would not even be an issue had the NPS managed the Riverways according to their own rules instead of letting things get out of hand like they have.

    Otters

    Terrierman replied to Terrierman's topic in Finley River

    Agreed on all counts, except I don't trap. But it is a cool sport. I'd be happy to show you where I'm talking about if you don't already know.

    Otters

    Terrierman posted a topic in Finley River

    There is at least one really big otter in the pool above Green Bridge. They're one of those creatures that I have mixed emotions about. Pure selfishness on my part I guess. I should work on that.

    One of the little things I like about the zig jigs is the eye is open when you pick it up, no poking paint out of a tiny little hole. The paint quality is above average. And they catch trout. Chief, they've got a lot of really good color combinations too. They're just really good jigs is the bottom line. And for a dollar each, that's pretty fair in my book.

    The upper river is open.

    I like to stop early and stay late. I've killed enough fish to last most people a lifetime, now for me it's the quality river experience. Most often alone, especially lately since my best human and dog friends died. But with buddies is fine too. I just love my time out there. And I do mean love.

    Were you the guy with the go pro and mike with some white fur on it?

    It's effective if that's your only criteria. Hardly fits the description of sporting or fair chase though. It's the fishing equivalent of shooting turkeys or deer over bait if you ask me. The only difference is shuffling is not illegal.

    Above. I'm the person furthest to the right in that photo, behind the line of people actually fishing. I try to get out of everybody's way to string fish.
  17. Terrierman
    More or less. 5th pic down from the top.

    Hey, I'm in one of your pictures! Grandson and I had a good time. The crowd was not nearly as bad as I expected. The weather was a LOT better than I expected. Breakfast was good. The fires in the barrels were very welcome. It had been a long time since I'd been to Bennett Spring, It was like visiting an old friend.

    It's a far less troublesome oxygenate than MTBE. You can have as big a woody as you want about corn but there's just no disputing the fact that adding 10% ethanol to gasoline results in lower tailpipe emissions of several pollutants.
  20. Terrierman
    The 10% ethanol requirement is more about air pollution reduction than subsidizing corn growers.

    I'm naming the next winter storm Ralph. 'Cause that's what it will make me want to do.

    I mainly want the jet to avoid the need for shuttles on other rivers here in Missouri. The tohatsu 40/25 will get a hard look. So will other used 2 strokes. 4 stroke motors are too heavy.
  23. Terrierman
    The only downside to a 20 is you can't legally run it on the Buffalo. I've got a Shawnee that's basically the same boat as yours. It's got a 10 HP Yamaha that's been rejetted to 15 HP. It does fine. That said, a 50/30 jet is in my future. Money is made to spend is the way I look at that purchase. Won't be getting rid of the Yamaha though.

    Nice job sir. Very nice job.

    What's your thinking about Waylon Jennings or Alison Kraus or something like that while the fire gets lower and you sip your whisky?
