I should have bought a lifetime MO license before we moved to MD. I used to get an annual NR fishing and small game license whenver the kids were still in MO. I've thought about doing a spring turkey hunt again with Livie on my friend's farm where she shot her first gobbler, but not likely to spend almost $600 to do it 😒
I would be one that would fish my old haunts along the Current river and maybe not get to Taney at all. A NR annual fishing license will be $57. I don't know if the MDC will top out on the number of single day NR LIC one can buy which will still be $9 per day. I used to buy an annual if I planned to fish MO for more than four or five days. Now I might reconsider.
Also small game NR license will be $108. Turkey is almost $260.
I think that someone needs to look at the redbreast sunfish genetics. It's hard to believe that this is a single species ranging from the Northeast, down to FL and over to TX.
A couple from NJ (the 7th state that I have caught this species😉)
Livie's fish
Mine
One from FL
One from Texas
Used to catch a bunch of northern rock bass in ozark creeks fishing a PBJ Ned Rig😁
Here is a shadow bass from the Current river
An ozark bass from Finley Creek
Daryk - just say brim or goggleye😆😉.
I still need to catch a northern sunfish. Also would like one of those SEMO dollar sunfish. They are much nicer than the eastern dollars out our way.
May be great for bigger fish, but this is an issue for us Life listing fisherman😒. I am by no means a purist but I do like to know the actual species that I am catching. Lots of hybrids are easily id'ed like tiger trout and I will put them on my list, but not these bass if I ever fish Grand lake.
