snagged in outlet 3

I feel ya FT!!! You ought to do the shuttles. Good extra cabbage for hotrodding someone elses vehicle. Pete

Thanks Jeremy, good to know. We camp at Quarry and we are always on the lookout for a shuttle. Pete

Samich fish!! That pastor must be a heck of a guide to put you on fish in that lake. Jus sayin. SIO3

I don't have a canoe or whatever, but if you do the Bourb I'd go if someone had an open seat. If you ever consider a lake tourney and allow trolling motors I have pond prowler that would work well. Hit me up if anyone needs a partner, I'm in St Charles. Pete

Go to Woodlands, you'll pass it on your way to Rose's. Those girls in there will shuttle you. It ain't cheap though. Leave your car down in the park at the confluence and forget Rose's. I don't think the Y store does it. I think she whacked us for $40. Pete

SA's GPX and Rio Grand are roughly a half weight heavier than "normal". Pete

Easy on the golf comments there bud... SIO3

If they generate, rent a boat. SIO3

Let go of the hate FT. Let it flow from you like water through the dam. My screen name is in reference to all the controversy that was on this forum back in 2005 surrounding shuffling and snagging fish in the outlets at Taney. I don't need to snag and trout taste bad anyway. I just like to catch em. Now smallies, I love to eat smallies. Snagged

Thanks Dano. That's not a short drive for you in St Charles. Pete

Thanks Ollie. We could always drop the daily limit to 3 if need be. Pete

Sorry Justin, I meant party. The story?? I shot 73 the first day and 74 the second to finish tied for 10th place overall. Pete

I told you I was playing in a golf tourney... The Post Dispatch ran a picture of a yote in Tower Grove Park last fall. Actually the park renovation was a private/public project called Forest Park forever. They did a great job on the golf courses and the club house bars are good too. I recommend CC when playing that track though, rough crowd. Pete

I play golf in the Park all the time and one of my buddys works for the Park. They have redone all the canals and lakes but unfortunetly they drained them for the work. They have all the canals running water like the old days but it will be a while before bass return. They stock cats, and trout in the winter. I was playing in the City Championship a couple years ago and a girl comes down the cart path. I said do you know your on a golf course? She says "no, but do you want to pary with me?" The Park has all kinds of wildlife!!! SIO3

Now about today? SIO3

This is an earlier post in this thread Bigredbirdfan. "Discussing it with a couple of people this morning who hav been reading this stuff they were amazed the Corp receives a such a large slice of the generation revenue AND gets the year to year operations and maintenance bill footed by the Presidential Budget, and special capital works come from the Budget too and yet don't pay for mitigation Perhaps this state of affairs was understandable when the dam was first built with a much lower population/power demand. Now Bull Shoals is paid for and its a cash cow. The Corp simply should meet the bill with an earmarked very specification allocation to meet the needs of the mitigation hatcheries, including the $ in deferred maintenance _ after all that was the intent of the statement in the budget from the Commander in Chief" SIO3

Thanks Rick. Pete

X2 on Stillwaters. SIO3

One method I used to use was those little trout cheese worms. They sold them in the trout parks, and I'm sure they still do. Some were two colors others have a stripe. I fished them whacky style with a split shot above them. They are absolutely deadly on finicky smallies. I've used them in Tablerock and they work there also. Now, you will have trouble with sunfish but in my experience when a smallie wants it he'll, get it. They have a deadly action that they can't resist. SIO3

darn dude, that hurt. I meant to say....... ah forget it. SIO3

Don't you mean wife AND gf??? Teeny craw, half ounce jig and pig, 3/8 oz spinnerbait, flukes and senkos, and hard plastic top waters. I prefer working from the top down. But size matters and I'm like Al, hate catching all those sunfish. SIO3

Exactly Eric!!! Hopefully the trout have soaked up enough radiation to thin the herd of those guys. SIO3

If so FT, he has traveled a long way to catch winter pond stockers from the uranium pits in Busch. Nice fish though. Wonder if it glows? SIO3

Stillwater resort is awesome. About 10 minutes to dam. SIO3

You must be stunning in that pink rode to draw them to you... Ahhhh!!! My eyes are burning!!! SIO3
