snagged in outlet 3

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

What did you buy with your cut of the money? SIO3

Okay Cricket, you can get back in. Good luck Jason. Pete

Let it go Cricket. Don't you have to work or sometin? Snagged

Man I hope that rowdy bunch is gone by Thursday!!!! Oneshot shooting the moon, arggh!! I'm trying to wash that sight out of my mind's eye. I've seen his avatar photo and that's got to be scary. I drive a white car, don't spit on it. Otherwise I'll look for you on the river Oneshot. Pete

I believe that's right. Pete

Thanks Rick I put that bait slinger down the road and I'm going with my mom, wife and daughter. I'll get plenty of time on the water while they do whatever is they do when I fish. Swim, shop eat. Probably won't take too many photos since I'm by myself, but you never know. Of course I'll take them out to dinner when I'm done. Pete

Nice Rick!!! I love that little strech in the park. Good for grip and grins. I'll buy the book too. I'm headed to Taney Thursday to Sunday, I hope I have your outcome. Pete

I agree Glenn, it helps to put my mind in a fishy place. Pete

I've seen hundreds in the canal under Page. Especially when the cottonwood fluffs where on the water. My experience is the same as Ted's. The water here in MO is too muddy around the St Louis area. I can catch a bunch with corn but they wouldn't take flys. I've seen them rolling in LOZ while bass fishing and the water was a lot clearer than the mud holes around the city. I spent a long time trying to catch them on the fly after seeing a show on TV that was, coincindentally, filmed in Michigan. I've only hooked one. Pete

Hey Ted Did you try the canal under the Page behind Creve Coeur Lake? Pete

X2 on Blue ribbon fly shop. If you are not within eyesight of the dams you may not hear the horn so watch carefully. Here is the generation number. Call often, especially with kids invovled. 870-431-5311 If you don't take your son to Dry Run Creek you should be water boarded. SIO3 Thanks for your service to this great country!!!

Speaking of Wrench, I haven't seen a post from him an quite a while. In fact I sent him a PM just to see what was up and got no reply. If you hear from him let us know. Pete

Hey Jason Put them in the for sale section. Eric just sold a pair Smith's. They'll sell quickly if Cricket dosn't interfere. Pete

Now what am I gonna do? I guess I'll post the BBQ srimps recipe on my Mardi Gras thread. Pete

Yep Friar Tuck's in O'Fallon MO has Amber, Turbo Dog and Purple Haze. I grabbed a sixer of Dixie too. They are not GREAT beers but they remind of good times down there. Pete

This would've happened sooner without that dillweed Cricket chiming in.

I'll try and get it on here later today. SIO3

Ahh, fertilizer fish!! My favorite. Pay the twilight green fee (discounted) in the late afternoon and enjoy. Most of the staff will leave as soon as they can and you'll have the late evening to yourself except for a cart boy and he won't care. By paying the green fee they really don't care what you do. If it's a private course there's a good chance they'll bring charges. One of their esteemed members will probably be a lawyer or judge so it won't cost them squat to put the screws to you. Covert ops are always warranted just for the extra rush. Oh but the fish are big my friend. SIO3

Pretty entertaining for a want ad. Dillweeds!

Quick reply to save someone the agony and money. Yuk!!!! Dirty, mushy, tasteless, cruddy, just plain terrible. I don't know how this dump stayed in business 10 years serving that slop. Some of it was scraped from the side of the dish it was cooked in and it was disgusting. My daughters french frys were good. Pete

Hi Ted Probably was heating up until the big rain and cool down. I think if it warms up at all in the next few weeks it will be on. I usually stop by the bait shop on my way home or out, but I haven't been in while. I'll make a point to get by and see what they've heard. Although the muskie fisherman are pretty tight lipped. I don not believe they are renting boats yet though. BTW, you can't bring you own. Pete

Hey yall Tuesday is technically Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) but today is the big parade in St Lou. Second largest in the nation. I've been to NOLA many, many times including Mardi Gras and really have never found any food that compares. Except a couple places in Memphis like Owen Brennans and The Luoisiana Lagniappe in Deston Florida. Tonight we're going to The Gumbo Shop in Rock Hill. It's supposed to be the best around. I've driven by it hundreds of times including on the way to the fly shops here in town. My favorite dish is BBQ shrimp. I've never had it the way they cook it NOLA, unless I make it myself. Brennans in Memphis had it once for a special but it was a watery sauce and not the traditional butter with spices. I'll post up my review of The Gumbo Shop this week. Playing golf tomorrow then frying some Crappie and having a couple Abita's and some Dixie beers. Here's a link to The Gumbo Shop http://stlgumbo.webs.com/ Pete
