I see almost the same technique at RRSP all the time. Guys use fly rod with strike indicator (bobber to me) and bead-head or cone head flies (same as jigs, float like a sinker); some of them call it nymphing. Years ago when I used spinning tackle, I threw a bobber and fly for trout in still water. (water filled bobber casts a long way) So the concept works and isn't really a long way from worm under bobber that I fished as kid with 12' cane pole or a bank-cut willow "rod". Those store bought "crappie jigs" have caught quite a few small mouth bass when fished without bobber in the streams, so you might want to cast your jigs there too. If those you show don't catch a fish it will be your fault; not using them or using them where there are no fish.

So my 17# guess wasn't way off, but Johnsfolly was closer at 26#. I knew that guy wasn't THAT big.Really is hard to tell with nothing for perspective.

So now you got her a job and she won't have any time to load up the boat or to haul it either. Nothing gets in the way fishing like a job. After work them old feet will hurt too much to even drive you down to the lake. You be better off to look for a gigging partner who already has a boat and can drive. Ya got til September to get partnered up.

I'd just start with clean new lumber rather than take one apart, sand and stain then rebuild. Kinda like buying a lapstrake boat and disassembling it to repaint. But I always was a lazy one. If I find one of those boxes, I'll let you know. Not big enough to keep my stuff in, anyhow.

Not an MDC decision, MDC has to comply with a state statute. Statutes are made by the legislature and governor. As I recall it has to be 3 months unpaid and when payment is made privilege is restored. Bet over all it cost MDC a bit of cash to do the suspend/reinstate process over and over for some people. Some states revoke drivers licenses or occupational/professional license (think doctor/lawyer), kind of stupid imo to take away the means to earn the money to pay with, but they do it. I suspect anyone that owns a boat or two and has the time to fish can probably pay for their kids needs. Or could afford a lawyer to get the court orders modified. Fishing ain't a cheap hobby. Ar. used to have a deal where Dad could sleep in the jail on weekends til his jail obligation was filled, worked with a couple guys that were avoiding payment that way.

Yeah they been doing that for years and almost every month the numbers are high. The thing is though most of those revoked for child support probably wouldn't buy a permit any way. Several years ago I clicked a button somewhere that got me on an MDC email list and I always get notices of that sort of stuff, month after month you'd think they would run out of offenders but they never do.

Either 17 or 43 depending how big the guy is. I'm thinking 17.

Mike you don't have to have the fishing permit to get the border permit, I don't have the fishing permit to get the trout permit either. Your drivers license or other ID that shows your age is all that is needed.

I believe that is determined by the lake boundaries established by USACE . Done by elevation, not geography. edit; (5) Impoundments and Streams. (A) For purposes of these rules, the arms of major hydroelectric or flood control impoundments will extend to the lake contour that is commonly referred to as conservation pool, multipurpose pool or normal pool, or to specific locations identified by posting.

"Bull Shoals, Norfork and Table Rock " No gray area, it is specific. If you want to fish Beaver you will Ar, nonresident fishing permit $50, if you want to fish Ar. trout you will also need Ar. nonresident trout permit $12. And you won't need any Mo. permits.

i may have to make a road trip just to meet this guy. Sounds like my kind of shop.

Whiting sells em for $99, I think. What makes that one special?

required for a Missouri resident who is licensed to sport fish in Missouri, or who is legally exempted from the sport fishing license requirements of Missouri, to pursue, take, possess (with the exception of trout) and transport fish, frogs, mussels, clams, turtles, crayfish and live bait from the Arkansas portion of the impounded waters of Bull Shoals, Norfork and Table Rock lakes without an Arkansas Nonresident Fishing License. Says you can transport. I'd still clarify that with AGFC, because once you are out of the lake you have no proof of where the fish came from.

Well, tell her how it comes with a lifetime guarantee. (get the Jack Russell, she'll love him after a day or two)

I used to use a lot of Mucilin. Then I switched to Albolene, a single jar is a life supply.

What's wrong with gimmicks?? Seriously I never heard of such stuff, so, ...

Sing a song of sixpence...

saw it attributed to a Kent Campbell It's simple enough to have been "invented" by a dozen different tyers. I know I tied a Griffith’s Gnat for ten or twelve years before I ever saw one in a store, simple tie using two of my favorite materials and it happened to work. In my mind it is still a peacock/grizzly.

It don't matter what the name over the door says it's all one company, at least until BassPro is done ripping out the parts they want. It surprises me that the Sherman Act doesn't apply. Maybe keeping the Cabella's name is the means of avoiding antitrust suits. I would think that once BP has carved out the pieces they want and the select locations the Cabela's name will be up for sale?

Fun was had by all.

Get the Jack Russell, life's too short to go without a dog and the dog can keep you company on the boat. Maybe you can get a neighbor to do the hookups or just leave the trailer on all the time. Heck, after thirty five years it's time to trade up anyway. Get two Jack Russells they can keep you warm at night and eat the left overs you cook.

You are going to need Herself to do the trailer hookup and unhook then and maybe the launch/load then? Not my business, but it is possible Her opinion should be counted twice. Or buy the boat in Her name.

found on the net, haven't tried them yet Broiled starlings on toast Cut the breasts in half. Lay inner side down on butter-greased broiler. Tie strip of bacon about each breast with a thread. Broil to a golden brown. Rub with oil or butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a bit of parsley. Serve on buttered toast. Roast starling Dress starlings same as you would quail. Cover with bacon strips. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add a slice of onion. Place in roasting pan. Roast to a light brown. Baste with drippings to which a touch of vegetable oil has been added. Green parsley and water cress make a suitable garnish. Serve with mushroom soup. A dash of red wine won’t hurt. Serve two starlings to a person. they go good with beer. Starling stew Sprinkle with salt and pepper and fry in butter lightly. Dust with flour and add three slices of onion, 1 bay leaf, add a half glass of wine and water to cover. Stew slowly. When tender, set aside in a warm dish and let the stew-broth simmer to thicken. Then strain and serve.
