I haven't been down that way in months and have not been able to find any information as to wether or not it was blown out by flooding. Thanks!

Smokey and the Bandit (goes without saying) Blues Brothers (goes without saying) Chrystal (Billy Bob thornton wrote, directed and had leading role.....was filmed in Eureka Springs and is actually a great movie in my opinion) The Devils Rejects (Rob Zombie is a genius) Forrest Gump (Bonuses: The Big Lebowski and Pineapple Express), sorry...had to throw those in.

I have had more fun catching carp in the creeks and wet areas along the MO river than I have had while catching Redfish in Florida. I enjoy it. I did have a conversation with a Park Ranger north of Weston, Missouri last weekend (after he checked my license) and we started talking about bowfishing. He said most guys just leave them on the bank, which isn't a problem in the Bean Lake and Lewis and Clark lake areas. I was surprised to hear this. He was referring to Asian carp, common carp, and gar. (fyi, I don't necessarily agree with this)

Very true, every single word

This still sickens me....saw something else about it online today.....geez. If he is mentally incompetent, then he still needs to go....take him out back and euthanize him...he won't even know the difference...(and it will make alot of people feel better) If he is mentally aware, then let the parents have a go at him or put him in general prison population and make sure everyone knows his crime.

I have a 4 year old girl and she is the most personable and social child I have ever seen....I've had to talk to her about strangers many many times....I hate to say it but I see someone as a threat before I see them as harmless now....unfortunately.....just the way it is....doesn't matter to me if they are a teacher, law enforcement, even a preacher/minister.....

There are certain types of people that CANNOT be fixed......once it is proven,this guy needs to be euthanized....immediately, inhumanely Oh, and I don't give a dam about the whole mental health factor.....and I don't care if that bothers anyone.......life isn't fair http://www.ky3.com/news/local/man-charged-with-murder-in-childs-death-in-branson-motel/21048998_31414910

Has anyone been on the Womble Trail in Arkansas? I am headed down in a couple of months and I am thinking about taking my 29r single speed...I've heard the climbs aren't to awful

Westbranch.....I think I ran into you near Taney on friday night. You mentioned Ozark anglers and ive always had my bookmark named "LilleysLanding" ....anyway it was good to talk two handed rods with you. Taney is an ideal river for that.....I havent been able to spend much time there in several years.....but still surprised I havent seen switch or spey rods when units are running

Hey Podum, which Allen reels do you have and what do you think of them? Thanks

Lamson has another inexpensive reel in their line up now...called the "Liquid", $100, looks pretty nice. I bet the fit and finish is good even for a cast reel, due to their manufacturing reputation (the body is made over seas). I think the blank for the Konics are made overseas and then "skim cut" in the US....but it looks like the body of this reel is made completely overseas, but has the same US Made drag system they are known for... http://waterworks-lamson.com/products/lamson-liquid/ Throw that on a Cabelas Traditional 2 or TFO Signature Series with RIO Mainstream and you will be set!!!!

In the Banana River area (Florida), Doug Blanton, good guide and will spend extra time with you In the Mosquito Lagoon area (Florida), John Turcot, crazy interesting dude but a really good guide In the Tomoka/Halifax river area (Florida), Kent Gibbens, older guy who tells it like it is, funny guy with lots of stories and long time guide I have fished with each of these guys and had great trips. If you can get a slight warming trend between cold fronts you can have good Redfish/Speckled Trout trips all winter. Just my .02, hope it will help. These areas cover from Ormond Beach down to the Titusville area (central Florida east coast). If I could find a job I would move there, regardless of the drawbacks, would be much more enjoyable than Northeast Kansas

I used to rent a campsite from Cozy Acres occasionally to access the river in that area. Is this campsite still open? I am coming down Nov 7-10 and it looks like fishing is closed at that time. I found an email address and and sent an inquiry but haven't heard anything back (I've always had responses in the past)

I like this trail....although I have a nasty scar on my elbow (down to the bone) from a fall a couple years ago (hit a rock slab that was slick and hit the ground REALLY hard). I went to the nearest gas station, bought some butterfly bandages and decided to skip the emergency room (healed like crap and itched like crazy for 2 years but has finally leveled out). Fast and slow sections....some technical short steep climbs with rocks and some fast smooth sections. I rode it on a hard tail that I have since switched to a rigid carbon front fork and will hopefully get to ride the Sac trail again in November. There is supposed to be a fairly long descending section but I didn't find it....maybe an exploration for next time

I am going to say that someone like this is "unfixable"....once they find him guilty they should just take him out on the steps and euthanize him (no taxpayer funded prison or death penalty circus, which are both expensive) ....better yet, maybe Bailey's father will get a hold of him....that would be the most logical thing in my opinion

My dad has a Kubota 1400 (38in maybe?) Hydrostat that is 22 years old and has the original tires....runs great. Very few problems, a few broken deck brackets here and there.....and two coils over the life of the motor

interesting.....how did you prepare them?

Nice fish

didn't see what they were driving.....lol......

as far as I could tell

I noticed I didn't see any of the signs that "discourage" shuffling......maybe I just wasn't looking....

shuffler......someone standing there stirring the bottom up with their feet to dislodge aquatic insects, which bring the fish right to their feet to feed (or immediately downstream), then fishing that column of water to catch the fish another definition......cheater another definition......moron who looks really stupid while fishing and has no clue of said stupidity

I was fortunate enough to spend Saturday afternoon on Upper Taney which I haven't done in a long time. There were shufflers EVERYWHERE....and when I say shufflers.....I mean shufflers ON A MISSION!!!!! They were freaking everywhere, groups of two or three...they looked like they were doing the twist (so much that the song is still stuck in my head!!) One of the guys got tired of shuffling and just walked right in front of me on his way out (within 15 feet), don't mind me, I'm not fishing....just shook my head. If he didn't think this was wrong,,,,,then saying something wouldn't have helped. One father and son pair came walking down the bank and I heard him telling his son "we'll catch the s(*& out of them right over there"...they waded in...and he started demonstrating the "Taneycomo Two Step" to his son until he finally "got the hang of it" .....they shuffled, caught a couple, then shuffled some more as they moved downstream.... Another group of three across the river from me "these fish are EASY...this kicks butt!! woohoo"......no kidding. Two and half hours at least a dozen...."experienced" shufflers..... Do you ever see somebody else do something so audacious, that it even embarrasses you?......happened to me I don't think I'll go back for a while really really really sad......and to think......like idiot father.......like impressionable son (I would have taken a video but my finger tips were frozen) unbelievable Jason
