Just wondered if anyone had floated this section since the flood?

Loadin up the kayaks and leavin around 4 a.m Hope tp be there by 11.oo am. Probably start with Cane to greer.

Hopin to come down this weekend. Probably sunday and monday. Just wonderin about what shape the river is in.Thanks.

Ive been wanting to float fish and camp. I guess im being a whimp for not wanting to camp out in 30 degrees and wet and snow. If it was elk season I would, but just cant quite commit.

You kind of lost me when you started talking about grabbin suckers. I guess being from up north makes me a little ignorant about what you guys are doing for fun down there.

How far upstream is Stony Point from romp hole. Im looking for a good access point to make a good fish float several miles upstream from romp.

How shallow can the blazer paddle jon run give or take, and does sand mess with a jet boat outboard motor? rookie questions here.

I have a canoe and a kayak that i float the grand river with. I also have an 18 ft jon with a 25 yamaha. I would use the smaller boat(with the 9.9 merc) on the Grand also when it is running a few feet above normal.Just looking for something smaller and lighter. I was thinking about a 13'4 Gheenoe that I could use with or without the motor. Thanks for your thoughts and yea I will check some of the above mentioned boats also.

I bought a 9.9 mercury 4 stroke motor last year and am shopping for a small boat to go with it. I want to use it mainly for small lakes and rivers that are deep enough to run. What do you ozark guys primarily use on the rivers down there beyond a canoe and what would you recommend. I think ive seen some narrow jons that are boxier than a canoe but i cant think of what there called. Any ideas appreciated.

I am in daviess county, which is just less than an hour south of the iowa border. Only went that one day and now the warmer temps have made it unsafe.

I didnt talk alot about our B DUB trip last june. We floated the Granite River to Saganaga Lake. This was a short 3 dayer because it was last minute and didnt have alot of time. The smallmouth bite was late due to a late spring. We started slow but after we got the hang of it after day 1 we probably averaged 10 or 12 each per day. The biggest was 18 with the average around 14 to 15 inchs.We caught some northern but could not score on walleye. Most were on the drop off edges about 10 feet off the bank. Weather was good and the bugs were not terrible. Couldnt really fish at night because the mosquitos were to much to handle.

Went ice fishing for the first time this year with brother Buck and caught several nice crappie and and a few bass on a pond at the edge of town.

Went ice fishing for the first time yesterday and ice averaged about 7 inchs. Caught around 25 nice crappie and several bass. Had a fish fry that nite and pretty tasted pretty good. The pic is of brother with a shovel full.

Your giving me "the fever."

Late season Muzzleloading has been really hit and miss. Either you see nothing, or you see lots and mainly does. I had 3 bucks hanging out at about 30 yards last night, and 2 were almost shooters. I watched for about 45 minutes until they became alert, and then 3 coyotes came loping along and scared them off. Its been cold and windy for the most part. I have a hankerin to head south and fish tany and the pothole. Oh well.
