Yes sir, it is I. And that IS the same boat. Tell them how good it is. You know, how you can carry two or three dozen decoys and how we were always safety conscious and would never overload a boat or anything like that. Remember that day when Bailey walked about a mile across the marsh to offer a friendly hello to our hunting neighbors?

Yes and Google Earth is a liar. OR you had it right and were looking at way way upper Bryant.

14 foot jon, 6 HP Johnson and trailer. The boat is set up for a duck blind and I will give it away too. Boat has had a rough life and has several leaking rivets and a place about 3/4 inch long on one of the strakes that is torn. JB weld would fix everything or a mig welder would even be better. Boat has a plywood floor in it that's pop riveted to the braces. The duck blind is sweet, conduit frame and camo netting with rippy hay tied to it. Best part about the blind is the stabilizers that work like manual power poles on all four corners of the boat. I've killed a lot of ducks out of this boat, it's nickname is the Grand Pass Special, aka GPS. It's been on the local flows a time or two as well and there might be a little bit of smallmouth slime in a few places. The motor was tuned up in 2013 at Tangora in Nixa. Trailer is fine for the purpose, good LED lights, bearing buddies and there is nothing wrong with it at all. I bought a Shawnee this winter and won't ever use this rig again. Rather than sell it, I'd rather give it to somebody who will actually use and appreciate it. A young family guy who otherwise wouldn't have a boat or somebody like that. I'm not drunk or stupid or trying to scam anybody. You can PM me here with interest. P.S. I have titles for everything.

James - Hootentown to Horse Creek for an overnighter. Beaver - Brown Branch to Bradleyville for a one day or an overnighter if you want to take your time. Bryant - don't know

Third. What a beautiful smile!

Whose boat is it again and what did every single response you got say about this whole partner thing? But let's set that aside for a minute. Find yourself a good used 6 HP Evinrude and you are set up as long as you have half a brain or more and use it,

I think you ought to use half the money you make at your two summer jobs, get a 16' jon and a 9.9, haul it around in the back of your pickup that you saved up for and bought yourself and fish every chance you get. But don't go partners with anybody on anything ever.

I'm a big guy too and fish with other big guys. 15 HP Yamaha pushes the 48" Shawnee fine. I would get the 20.

What? No humpback blue / chrome rebel? No rebel craw crankbaits?

And a free pretty wife. Nice boat man. Do you think it will be able to get up on plane with that small of a motor?

Not possible.

Start after dinner.

God bless and keep your mother, make her feel warm, safe and welcome.

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.

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.

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.
