thanks quill

I agree

That is a nice bass Ollie I have tried to catch some of the bass at capps with no luck. I might have to try a little harder with a small crankbait or a 1/4 oz jig

I went Thursday and caught at least 20 I just quit counting. I did not keep any them. Friday I took my daughter with me (she is 2 1/2 ) and she helped me catch 4 that we kept because she did not want to let them go. I think they need to change stocking locations though. most of the fish that I seen were just down form the first bridge at the mill if they stocked the wilder water the fish would be there longer. On Thursday I caught them on a black rooster tail on Friday with my daughter we used power bait she had to pick the color guess what it was pink I have a photo of her with her fish on my phone but don't know how to post it

talk about beginners luck

I have no problem with the permit fees was only pointing out that MDC and all government could use a reality check on spending at the federal state and local level

You are right about that again wrench. What is next deer fences by every road I posted on another thread that there needs to be more accountability for mdc but I do not see this working. I would also like to see the mdc post what is spent in each county every year for conservation. It seems that some area get a lot more attention than others. I know that it will never be equal do to populations. but it seems that the extreme southwest cornor of the state dose not get much attention. Yes we have accesses that are not staffed as well as a out door shooting range but that is it it seems that once you get farther north they have more management areas and education programs for children. I would also like to see more patrols done. I know that Operation game theft has been called numerous time about spot lighters as well as people stopping and shooting from the road way in broad day light. In 4 years of living in the same house with a dirt road less than 100 feet away I have only seen 1 agent. that was 2 years ago. I know they were called last year about some one shooting a large buck after dark last year there was no response from a Agent only the local Sheriff. I also know the Sheriff contacted the local agent because it was my neighbor that call them he though that some one was burglarizing the house next door to him. The shooter had permission to be on the property and the Sheriff could not arrest them so they were released. I spoke with the shooter afterward and he advised me that the Mdc agent had never contacted him. This does not inspire confidence in Mdc

There is a article about mdc in the Kansas city star that is interesting. granted it is dated 05/16/14 but if it is true then I think they need to lose some funding. the article say that MDC has a projected income of 97 million for this year and that is just from a 1/8 cent sales tax. This tax is not just on fishing items but everything.

I agree Bo we need to start holding them accountable for there actions

I agree quill
