Possibly the revenue to expand it?

I've seen it a couple of times, you would think Google would do some kind of control over their ads and not put one through that insults the other advertisers, much less the recipients.

I doubt the next 10 years will do anymore than the last. With the population of people and chickens expanding in NW Arakansas, and the big increases in Springfield, Nixa, Ozark and Table Rock developments, Branson and Rockaway will be a small drop in a big bucket.

I have also heard nothing but good things about Dano's selection.

I remember the event, but I didn't make the cut, tried though. I'm assuming it was the tournament that featured teams from states, which were chosen in tournaments where members clubs associated with BASS competed. The one at the very back does resemble Campbell

If you're looking for BBQ, try Dana's on 165 north of the hatchery, on 13 south of the 3 way in Branson West. I agree with Bill, they did a terrible job on the decor, or theme, in fact CWF one would think they could improve on the strip decor, given the fact they had control over all of it, but they didn't really.

I'm not disagreeing completely Snagged, but I think the Flex engine is a good point. many of the Flex engines are coming from American manufacturers, and when Americans demand them, we'll have them and when we demand Ethanol we'll have it. I just believe that in our society the people should lead, not the government.

Be very cautious about anchoring. I only anchor mine where I can get out, it saves me the trouble of getting out while saving me from the mishap a hung anchor could cause. I use a caribiner for a pulley and a 3# dumbbell for an anchor.

Me neither.

Snagged is right, you must avoid the oils.I would dress in clothes that can be removed easily and cover effectively. I wouldn't wear anything that was tight or had to be pulled overhead. If you use plastic gloves and put the clothes in the washer immediately your chances of avoiding it should improve drastically I'm assuming you're right on on the ID, we have faux ivy thats about as common as the poison variety growing here.

I don't see it as a government problem, we buy the vehicles that burn the fuel, we use the energy produced, and we decide how much. If people suddenly drop their usage and cause a glut, the price will drop faster than the snail pace of any government attempts. I know this because its happened before and its not theory.

I always found it more time consuming trying to release without a net. When using a 6X-7X leader I would always have to play them down to a point I didn't think was healthy. I don't measure, I guess, I catch bigger fish that way.

More like myths.

If its been setting that long you may need to replace the pump impeller. You want to make absolutely certain that it is working before you run the motor for any period of time.

Chuck if you get a shallow catch & release net its faster, and easier to release a fish. At least it is for me.

In your situation it may not matter because in LOZ many fish use the docks as part of their "structure". You might make a point to remember that with floating lights the bigger fish will more often then not be in the shadows and all the fish will be looking for the "cripple" among the fish that are attracted.

If you look quick, before you smash them, you'll see that the Mosquitos around here have a zebra look. Griffin's Gnat, #18, because I can't tie them smaller and I'm too cheap to buy them.

You could probably drop it near any dock and do all right. As for the floating light, they worked before the submersibles came along, so why not?

It would depend on the time of year, and your limits on travel.

If the water was going to overtake him, not taking his waders off could have been his second big mistake.

I realize that violations that only take seconds to commit will go unnoticed, but I see many that are obvious over a period of time, but maybe its just coincidence.

The plant in SW Missouri, that was making diesel out of Turkey parts, was closed due to odor. I never had the pleasure of smelling it so I don't know how extensive the problem was, but I have smelled refineries that were processing crude that was heavy in Sulfur, and I can't imagine it could be much worse.

Its a mistake to think in terms of Corn for Bio fuels, Corn was used because we had a huge glut of it, but but there are many plants that can be used. Its is said that we have enough Prairie grass to supply much of our fuel somewhat naturally.

Well we did our trip on the lower Buffalo. It might be termed "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" The scenery was better than good, it was outstanding and could be viewed without any signs of civilization. We saw a total of 6 people in the first 23 miles after starting at Rush. We encountered 2 people fishing at the one point that is assessable by road below Rush, two who were on a gravel bar with intentions of staying on the river until Wednesday, and then a man and wife from Mtn. Home who were coming up river, We ran into them about 3 miles upstream. Friday night I heard a train in the distance, and that was the first sound I had heard that came from a mechanical means. It also poured rain Friday evening, just as we were trying to determine were we would camp, a downpour popped from behind a high bluff and made the decision elementary. Bad, well a low river and hot temperatures, coupled with a high humidity, made for some one day that came close to being bad, and the fishing ranked there the whole trip. The water was so warm on Thursday and most of Friday that it would have surprised me if the fishing wasn't bad. We ran from shade to shade on Thursday and only came out of it because we had too, so I would imagine the Smallies felt the same way. Ugly might be to strong, although there was a lot of what I've always called "Snot Grass", the slippery, filamentous moss that envelopes other objects and forbids entry. This seemed to be dominate in the middle portion for some reason and I would hope if it ever floods again it might wash it away. Of course we dragged, pushed, shoved and slid over much of the river bottom and that was somewhat ugly. Overall it was an interesting time and I think Jim and I both agreed we would return, but maybe with a little more water and time, and a little less heat. All in all, I can't wait to go back. On another note, when I do I will call Riley's Station, very accommodating, reasonable, easy to exit the river from, and a safe place to leave the vehicle, all in one place. P.S. If Jim says he caught the biggest fish, well he did, but ask him how big it was.
