snagged in outlet 3

That's classic Gavin!!!!

Saw this coming like a freight train at night.... 10 pound fluoro wouldn't hurt either.

"But pick a weekday, a trip when the water may be a little up or off-color, or when it's cold, rainy, or blustery, and you'll often have the place all to yourself." That didn't work for me this year or last. SIO3

They're not hatchery fish either Ted!! If anybody goes, post up some pics.

Thank you Coldwater, well stated. SIO3

Skill set = stickbait and spinning rod??????? Okay

Feels good doesn't it????? Several more cars at each access please!!! SIO3

No dissespect to you, but You can have him. "Anderson's teams went 23-11 and finished 5th in the conference in both of his final two seasons with Missouri. The Tigers made the NCAA tournament both years but fell out in the first weekend both times. 8-8 in Big 12 play" How does this record equate to 2.2 million or whatever he's getting? SIO3

Nice FT!! I've been wanting to put a flag up on the front of my house only it's brick and stone. I haven't worked up the guts to start drilling, I'm a fraid it will end up crooked.. The guy across the street insists he could do it, but he always says that after a couple beers. SIO3

I hear ya Rick. We would go to McClellans and fish at night. Nobody around for years!!!! I guess my buddy bought his condo at Point Royale in the early 80's and we would fish at night hanging buggers in the Redar hole and drinking beer. I thought JoeD was moving on to smallie fishing as a seasonal thing, not forever?? Pete

I don't think the fishing is bad, I think the crowds have increased quite a bit in the last 25 years though... Smallie makes my point. I won't walk in on somebody on a small river like the Current. When there are several cars in the lot, I leave. I mean what's the point of walking in on them and putting fish down. Although that same thing has happened to me. Never seemed to see many people down there in winter before ten years ago. Maybe I'm selfish, I have pictures from back in the day when we were the only guys fishing Taney between Rebar and the first outlet. On a nice winter day no less. Of course it was probably the late 70's early 80's. Winter fishing hadn't caught on like it has now. SIO3

Old Bay. Emeril has one out too. SIO3

Thanks for helping a brother out... My skin is dry and my hair is dull and lifeless. What kind is yours Dutch? SIO3

They better hide the red cars.... SIO3

I agree Joe. We went down on a Wednesday in the winter and there were several cars at both Tan Vat and Baptist. Same can be said about all of the trout areas in the state. Parks and Taney included. That stupid movie and trout magazines ruined my solitude years ago. SIO3

Yeah I bet your family reunions are out of hand... Pete

You guys just can't help yourself can you? Thanks for the help Chambug, it sounds real nice. Anybody else want in on the dog pile? Cricket??? Pete

I guess I'll have to come to MH and do some fishing, since you don't seem to get out anymore.... SIO3

Thursday I got there around 3PM and fished till 5PM. Water level looked like a half a unit at 703 or something. Weather was beautiful, temps in the 70's. Fished around the rebar chute and caught fish readily until the last half hour. Probably just ran out of new fish since I was confined to a small area. Friday I took my wife and daughter out with Brett Rader(Chartered Waters). 1st class guy and a great teacher for the girls. We caught fish on the same half unit from the boat. Glad we didn't wade because it looked busy up there. We drift fished from KOA down to Fall Creek using scuds. My daughter netted 10 and my wife and I caught a lot. It was a great day but the weather was cold, raw and windy. I can't praise Brett enough. Saturday I showed up at 10 AM and the water was off!!!! I whacked em all day on scuds and midges, caught nice ones up to 20 inches. They never quit biting and at one point I had the Rebar chute to myself. You just can't beat that.!!! The weather was the same as Friday, east wind and cold, which is the worse direction since it's blowing upstream. SIO3

You sisters and cousins don't count Smallie. Not even in the Ozarks. Pete

I put the disclaimer up front, I didn't know where to put it. So, do you two have anything for me or are you just going to poke fun? Culigan is coming out next week. Pete

Hey Didn't know where to put this so here it is. We are in the market for a water softener and there are a lot of choices. Does anyone have any input I could use? Pro or con? Brands? Vendors? Any help would be appreciated. Pete

Bought mine online and then sealed it in clear packing tape on both sides. Worked great and I didn't have to got to Walmarks. Pete

7.11, Sorry Skeeter. SIO3

We can only hope
