I guess the warmouth fits in there somewhere. I also did not know the shadow bass was in that group. Pretty cool stuff!

I put a tent beside the boat ramp a long time ago

I have privative camped at horse creek but that was 25 yrs ago.

Commonly referred to as dinner at my house.

I'm going to try hard to get us a shuttle from the take out to the launch. I was thinking we could drop the boats at the launch, I'll have someone watch our stuff, then we all drive to the take out, jump in the shuttle vehicle for the trip to the launch. But don't hold me to that exact plan, but I will figure something out for us.

Yes plenty, not sure about that particular stretch.

This is my favorite for the money

Ok how about trying for September 21 ? I only have week days off in October I figured that would be difficult for most?? If it doesn't work out for whatever reason there is still time to reschedule before that freeze that usually happens around Halloween.

My schedule in sept days off 6,7,8-13,14,15-20,21,22 oct1,2-8,9,10-15,16,17-22,23,24 as of now

Oh now, you can do it, if we do horse creek to galena it's really scenic.

He can come too, I don't care

I was thinking that too, and for the guys that can't float all day it's only 4hrs or so if you don't fish much

It doesn't have to be October, it was just an idea.

Floating

I was thinking we would take out at galena, maybe, but nothing is set in stone

I was thinking maybe not make it a huge production, maybe like 6 to 8 hrs at the most, everybody bring your own eats, stop on a gravel bar for lunch. We could maybe find a path less traveled, I have some ideas🤔 I guess in the fall they are all less traveled.

I almost put a screen shot of the map on the post, I figure if people want to know they will either recognize the area as you did or take the time to send a message.

It's not bad now, if the water goes down another 4 inches it might be rough. I was able to paddle up all be two or three places, even then the drag was easy

Group James river float trip organized. The date: 9/21/24 Saturday The time of meeting: 07:00 The place: HL Kerr access James river Mo. Take out: Galena Mo. Cox Memorial Access P.M. me so I can get a total for the shuttle. We will meet, unload at Kerr @ 7am convoy to Galena, get shuttled back to the launch. It's about 4.5 miles of water. If we get bad weather I will cancel it, and try for another day. Bring your own everything. I am looking forward to this, It will be nice to put a face with a name. P.M. me for my phone number if you need it.

Put in somewhere popular, went up stream as I always do. I haven't been on this stretch for 20yrs. There are mink and otter out in the evening. It was nice, I never saw anyone until I took out. Caught a bunch of dinks in holes that should have produced some good ones, this was the best fish of the day. I'm still throwing that zman punch craw, and a #5 shad colored crank.

I used to hunt a place near me for rabbit, one year we had early snow, but no rabbit, every single rabbit warren or brush pile had house cat tracks to it and in it. Every cat I saw after that got high speed lead poising or an arrow. FYI hunting rabbits with a recurve is great fun. I can't stand ferule cats, they might all be ferule now that I think about it.🤔

Good there is no flat land in stone county 😁

They helped me too, over the phone even, of course I bought parts from them after their advice, and they saved me a bunch, so yes I would go to them.

Bud's bait in joplin and carthage is a falcon dealer. I believe the guy behind the counter told me they go to falcon once a week. They might be able to give you some advice. Pretty good folks there. (417) 499-3350

I'm old enough to have seen it all done it all, I just can't remember it all.
