Looking to buy New Canoe
Terrierman replied to ollie's topic in Lodging, Camping, Kayaking and Caoneing
You wouldn't want to load a bunch of camping gear in the Legend 15 and paddle tandem. With just two people a cooler and some fishing tackle it's fine. It shines solo though, either loaded for an overnighter or with just a cooler and tackle for the day. -
Finley took a pretty good rise. This is yesterday about 5:00 at the old Riverside Bridge.

I settled on a Mad River Legend 15 and really like it. But they stopped making it. -
Flooded

Way cool!

They had it cranked up to 10,000 CFS last Friday for an hour or so.

You would not be happy in a Buffalo anyway if you are wanting a solo boat. They're a lot more geared to tandem and will handle some pretty heavy water very well. They were/are tough sons of guns. -
I'm working on losing some weight before summer. And I hate you.

Considering condition and you just won't be finding them new anymore at any price, seems fair enough to me. If you can handle that color that is. Wow is that thing green. -
Uh oh I need to take a little walk when I get home
-
No way! If you will notice, that fish is hooked in the roof of the mouth. Same way with most of the fish I catch on a regular honest to pete ned.

You're a lot likelier to get a bad burger (as in one that will make you sick) than you are a steak that will make you sick. I definitely still eat rare and medium rare steaks. But burger? No way. I thought I might actually die.
-
I don't eat medium rare burgers anymore either. I was so sick from a bad one that my liver enzymes were so elevated my doctor had me tested for hepatitis! It was clostridium.

Fine. Now give it up. Where did you put in. Where did you take out. What bait did you use. How did you fish it. What pound test line did you use. What kind of rod did you use. What time did you catch the fish. How come you kept them instead of letting them swim wild and free. What color is your canoe. How long is it. What kind of truck do you drive. Does your wife really love you. Whats your birthday. I want to KNOW some details here!

Ned or Fred? What does it matter when it's in a beautiful brown river fish?

Using OAF to improve your fishing skills (General Discussion)
Terrierman replied to Sac River Jim's topic in Stockton Lake
It's a great site. Educational and fun. Promotes fellowship, good sportsmanship and good conservation ethics. Works for me. -
I have room for the dog and the chickens. There's a shed for you and the family. It's not very big so you might plan on bunk beds.

MO state record paddlefish caught in Table Rock
Terrierman replied to Quillback's topic in Table Rock Lake
Biggest rod and reel fish ever caught in Missouri. That thing is stupid big. Looks like he had both hooks in it. Good thing too going by the size. -
MO state record paddlefish caught in Table Rock
Terrierman replied to Quillback's topic in Table Rock Lake
Its a big thing for paddlefish and also suckers. Neither is likely to be caught any other way. Not frowned on. -
Good job Chief.
-
So. You want to live in Springfield. No, wait you want to be my neighbor.

I caught 13 smallmouth on 15 casts out of the same eddy last year fishing ned made up with a 1/8 oz ball head with trimmed mono brush guard. It was just one of those amazing days. They work just fine in current.
-
I guess I'm either quicker on the draw or more likely luckier than some of you guys. Caught a lot of river fish on that stupid little thing and one of the things I like about it is how I tend to hook fish in the roof of the mouth with it. Not always of course but more often than not. Of course now that I said something about it 9 out of 10 will now swallow that thing all the way down to their guzzler.

Fished the White Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday flow started out at 4000 CFS at about 7:00 at the Dam, then went to 10,000 for an hour or so and then back to 700. I got to Rim Shoals a little before noon and was concerned that I would no more get on the water than get blown out with the high water so I went down to Buffalo City. Water was too murky for my tastes due to Crooked Creek influence but still caught a few. In about an hour the big water arrived and fishing was nothing but a huge pain due to didymo and green algae. If you got three twitches on a jig before it was fouled you were doing good. I did catch a few fish on a hard bait. Nothing remarkable. Called it a day about 5:00 and headed in for dinner. Saturday was much better. Minimum flow and good clear water at Rim Shoals. Ham met me at 9:00 and we went upstream from the ramp and made a few drifts in the shoal that is at the top of the catch and release area. As usual Ham caught one on the first cast. We were both doing pretty good there. I wanted to go to a little place I know that is upstream from there and since we were in my boat, that's what we did. It's a nice deep bank run with a few big rocks that then runs out onto a flat with grass on one side and gravel on the other. We pretty well fished that area the remainder of the day. Numbers and size were both good. Ham and I both caught a lot of rainbows and a few browns, the biggest brown was 19 1/2" with a couple about 16" or so if memory serves. This fish was number 80 for Ham. Measured 21 1/2". His biggest White River Rainbow to date. With the minimum flow we were fishing 1/32 oz zig jigs. Olive and Ginger and straight Ginger were working best for us. It was a very nice day and there were a lot of other boats on the water. Parking lot was full. The day got long and the sun got low so we headed on back down river to fish the C&R shoal one more time. We had a few more there and called it a day. As some of you know, Ham counts fish as he releases them. I think it was somewhere around 105 or so when we finally quit. He outfishes me every single time. But I was doing OK so I'd estimate we probably brought 160 fish or so to hand on Saturday. That's to hand and then shaken off, not given the inadvertent early release. I don't care who you are or where you are fishing, that's a fun fun day. I always enjoy fishing with Ham - good company there. And Saturday was the usual. Sunday it rained a little in the morning. Still at minimum flow and same water conditions. I only went out for a couple of hours but the same things were working the same way in the same spots. That's just a flat out amazing river. Amazing.
