snagged in outlet 3

I went up there a couple years ago and walked around the banks. You really need a boat but there is a reasonable amount of bank access. It was in January I believe and I caught 8 largemouth while walking around. I couldn't go up the the warm water chute because the water was too high, but I fished the area where it met the lake. There were alot of boats and I only saw one hybrid brought in. If you go, report your success here. SIO3

It was sarcasm, but I don't need anymore competition. How about the hybrids at Busch? I've fished the lakes that are supposed to have them but never had a whiff of a hybrid. Thanks for all the info provide. I saw you one day at #28 but you were pulling out when I was going in. Snagged

Give me a break there's no fish worth while at Busch. Quit spreading rumors and untruths. SIO3

When I drove in the park there was only one guy fishing and he was below the main bridge. Pretty much had the place to myself. Fishing was very good for numbers and decent for quality. There was a lot of spawning activity so I didn't mess with those fish. Weather was perfect, low 40's and just a little wind. SIO3

Can somebody post a link to Brians 2 unit article? Thanks.

Cah somebody post a link to Brians 2 unit article? Thanks.

Hald dozen what Kdan? I'll be in the area between the dam and bluff hole. I wear one of those Simms long billed hats and drab green everything. SIO3

Check your box

It it was somebody else you were talking about I would have found that hillarious! SIO3

I wanted a new wading jacket, but last night I had to ask for a new water heater. Maybe next year. SIO3

Nice Wrench! Would you give him a ride, if he caught it in the morning and you were staying to fish the next 5 hours anyway? SIO3

I'm thinkin about a down and back from St. Louis tomorrow. Anybody going to ge down there? SIO3

Come on Chief, quit beatin around the bush, how do you really feel? SIO3

Why not do both? They are only 2 hours or less apart. 1) Both are good but the White has more area to fish. 2) Wait until the lakes are down to power pool so your chances for wading are better. Both locations have very good campgrounds so no problem there. SIO3

Thanks!! As usual you guys are on top of everything, including finger nail polish. SIO3

I remember seeing a post that some people use a glue or finger nail paint to make midges tougher. What does everybody use? I don't use anything. Thanks! SIO3

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!! Very nice!

I haven't chimed in yet but I'll answer the initial question. "Should Money Be Spent On A Put-and-take Trout Lake?" I say yes, especially if it's near me. I found this with one google search. Munch on these facts. http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/ParksandRec/Ac...out_fishing.php No need to thank me, it's what I do. SIO3

I hate those darn things. We need a permanent fix or they will invade every watershed in the country. SIO3

Well the new u joints have dampened the vibration quite a bit but it's not gone. I'm giving up and witing for it to break I guess. That, or it's just something you live with when you have 180k on a vehicle. Thanks for everyone's help. SIO3

Okay, I took it in today to a real good shop. Tranny fluid is "clean enough to drink" and it wasn't torque converter shutter. Wheel bearings are tight but since they are sealed no way to know until one breaks. Replacing the u joints just because they have 180,000 miles on them. The guy spent 2 hours trying to figure it out. Even put it up the rack and drove it. He felt the vibration and at first thought it was a wheel bearing but it wasn't consistent enough while driving to replace them. I'll let you know what happens after I pick it up this afternoon. If it's not the u joints I'll just drive it till it breaks down. SIO3

I tried some without the peacock at all. I don't think a trout can see the top of fly? I didn't notice any difference in catch rates when I tried them side by side. SIO3

Thanks everybody. I have't been able to do anything but drive it, being a holiday weekend. After reading up on u-joints and the rear end I don't think that's the problem. I'm leaning towards the transmission like Crappiefisherman said. I'm going to take of it this week so I'll let you guys know. Thanks, SIO3

Hey now, don't be talkin bad about the Banjo Minnow. I think it was the forerunner to sluggos and flukes? Those types of baits are deadly sometimes. In the dead of summer I live and die by flukes in heavily fished urban lakes and ponds. SIO3

What are you talking about Brian? Do certain lights hurt materials? What kind of materials? SIO3
