James at the hatchery just emailed me and said they saw a big jump in O2 over the holiday. That means it's in the process. DO levels are high enough not to worry about bothering trout... until next fall. Fish On...

misunderstood. I'll fix it.

Trav- I've had people fish alone but you could only weigh in 4 trout and the fee would be $50. http://ozarkanglers.com/masters2008.html I've tried the link in ie and firefox, reloaded it and it works for me. Is it working for anyone else?

I have PM'ed and emailed him. I fear he is in bad health. I have no other way to contact him.

I know. I think it's a server issue and I've emailed Jim to check it.

It works fine for me... try copy and pasting it.

How about the skin... are they slowing you down? I can change it back if you want.

Blog attachments FIXED!! Attach away. ok I spoke too quick. Trying to find where to change the permissions on this thing.

Had a great (cold) time today. Good food (it was cold), great fellowship. Had about 15 (cold) people show up on a real *cold* day. And did I mention it was windy?! Gezzzz.... Put a tarp up just so Terry could keep his burners going. Thanks everyone for bringing food and refreshments. We'll need to get MDC to enclose the pavilion next year.

We went with friends to the Fish House (BPS) on the Landing. 60 minute wait. For some reason they were short on help and didn't fill all the tables. Not sure if they miscalculated the night or sickness? And Terry- they were out of ribs too. Prime rib too. No biggy- ordered a sirloin and it was excellent. We had a great time. Food was all good. I've talked to several business people and they've all said Branson has had it's busiest December ever, esp this past week. So I think alot of people have been caught off guard.

I won't be there till noon. Chickens won't be done till then.

I really need bass pics too... and other species of fish. Thanks

I'm posting my fishing reports for Taneycomo on my blog from now on... unless I see it's not working. Some have voice their displeasure wading thru the forum looking for my fishing reports. So from now on, if all you want is my report and not all the rest of the chatter- bookmark my blog and make sure it's the fishing report catagory. You can also RSS my blog and add it to your google or yahoo homepage. If you need help with this, let me know.

Read my blog, Rob. I address the turn and how it affects fishing.

Saw a piece on 60 minutes tonight about the incredible increase of US fires the last 7 years. I wonder if it's the same in other parts of the world and if the fires themselves contribute to warming or could it damage the atmosphere? Wondering... by a complete novice.

Everyone has to understand that there are over 2000 members on this forum and countless guests who read it. Just because there are one or two people reacting poorly to your ideas doesn't mean there are many others who aren't typing that are thinking positively. Don't let a couple of people keep you from expressing your opinions and ideas on this forum- please!! Forums are bad in one way- people can get away with typing whatever they want about ideas and others cause forums are impersonal. You can't see the other person nor can you see their heart. But if you just ignore the bad and go with the good, you'll be much better off. You have to do alot of ignoring on alot of forums Fortunately you don't have to ignore too much here.

Eric reported to me today that the tournament in December was canceldd due to weather. New date- January 27, 2008 Raised $500 so far for the family. Thanks for giving!!

Got 10 teams registered so far for Masters... should have 25-30 boats in the tournament.

Where do you work, Greg?

I think you misread my post. No arguing there... my intention was to say the state of the church in this country and Christians in general isn't any example that most non-believers would want to copy and that is their fault- for being hypocrites, lazy, spoiled. And I lead in every category. Setting all "religions" aside, every human being makes decisions in his life- choices he will have to answer to after this life. We will all stand alone before our creator, transparent and without excuse. Sorry if I sounded as if I was judging... didn't mean to. That wouldn't be my job.

I'd like for someone to critique my cast cause I have no idea what I do- I just cast! I side arm, over the head, over the left shoulder, lay it out to the right and left depending on wind and current direction. I don't think about it. I do understand why an instructor needs to KNOW how a cast breaks down because he is teaching someone what to do and not. That's what I need to learn.

I've always told people to get the line off the water by lifting UP first using the rod tip. It's a hard concept for some to "see" but once they do it a couple of times, they see it. Thanks for the comments... makes us all think about what we are doing instead of just doing it.

Trav- you are 100% right about the human race. Outside of something miraculous, there is absolutely NO hope. And if you don't believe in the miraculous... then there is just today and what enjoyment you can find in it. And what DO we see in today's "religious" people? Pretty much the same thing you see in the rest of the world- people void of love, joy and peace. So why should anyone want to join their ranks? It should make a "religious" person hit their knees and cry out to God for mercy. THAT'S what needs to happen in this country. It's happening in other parts of this world where believers are getting put in prison, beaten, tortured and killed for their faith, but not here.

Al, thanks for joining us. Is there a site where we can find out more about your clinics? I would be very interested in driving down for a class and I'm sure there are others. I've been to Glenn Rose- 1978. I was there with a class from college to see the dinosaur park.
