Probably not. Have to be in STL Saturday afternoon so I'd like to sleep some. But we shall see!

I, Seth, obey the law. Cheater.

I will be sure to blab the secrets any chance I get!

I started a new job with Cerner in May and I have not fished since May 11th. That is 60 days. I am going nuts. I made the decision to take off Friday and I am coming down to fish Taneycomo for the first time since February (which was a good trip). Anybody going to be down? Plan on wading in the morning then seeing if Phil has a boat available for the afternoon. I will have a report after the day, assuming I catch fish. None of you care, I'm sure, but I had to post this somewhere haha. I am going crazy!

Hammer down and let 'er rip then.! Only need a few inches of water. Lookout will be your barrier--go up and see what it looks like.

If you ask @duckydoty if you have enough grit you can get there pretty much whenever. Then I remind him I am renting one of Phil's boats. If you're at 706+ you should be able to get up there.

Oh boy..I sound way uglier than I am, I promise!

Reminds of how to cook diving ducks so they taste great. Clean them thoroughly, remove the skin, wrap in bacon, place on a cedar board. Smoke or grill for 15 minutes. Remove from the board and take off the bacon. Eat the bacon and cedar board and toss the duck.

In the immortal words of Dr. Iam Malcolm, "life..uhh..finds a way." We think we can control..but we can't.

I get the point of showing it CAN be contracted, but this is extreme. They injected it into their brains and they developed it? I'll be darn. Countless other published studies had the other outcome when simply feeding them meat from CWD positive deer. Will it be able to cross over easily in the coming years? Yea, I think so. That's how evolution works. But the hysteria is ridiculous.

This is what happens when humans think we can cure and fix everything--nature has its forest fires and maybe it's one of them? We need a plague anyway. If you don't think there is something lying in wait to knock out half our population (or more) in the next hundreds of years, you are naive. Also, as I've said before, LD is not credible and is a certifiable nut. He didn't get a job with the MDC years ago and went on a vendetta. It's sad.

You should have the USACE daily generation schedule populate at the top (even though it's mostly inaccurate certain times of the year), along with weather data. Check out DeerCast. I like their format..and they pay me.

Great input so far. More specific would be great, though. Here's mine. On Lake Taneycomo, on a late summer evening, with the water running I love boating up to the dam and drifting. Usually, there is nobody else up there and I fish until it is dark. It's always peaceful. I have seen a midge hatch up there once that covered the sky. I stopped fishing just to observe. In the woods, there is a spot I love to turkey hunt on public ground in Kansas. It is a 3/4 mile walk to get to, but once I am there I can sit there in peace for hours. Lots of turkeys, but the location in and of itself is incredible. I truly feel I am home when I get there. I have two trees I like to sit against, and each time I go back it feels like I am seeing an old friend.

Haha this is perfect! Exactly what I am looking for.

Hey all--working on another story and I need some input from the misfits. As an outdoorsman, do you have a "spot" where you feel at home, relaxed and at peace? A deer stand, duck blind, etc? This does not have to be a good location for game/fish. It is the place where everything seems right in the world. Let me know! Thanks in advance.

The good part is nobody is on the lake then haha. I have been busy with turkey hunting. I'll get down there sometime soon.

Also, in the summer a big grass bed blooms leading up to Powersite. 65 lb braid and a frog will lend you some hogs. Have to hit it right at first light, though.

I've caught them on the main lake above Rockaway down to Powersite all year. They still hang there. The water doesn't get that cold (was 67 down there last June). My problem is when I fish Taney I want to go for trout.

It was for a picture near the truck.

Went down to my cousin John Neporadny's place this past weekend with my grandpa. He lives in the dam area so we stayed around there mostly. The bass fishing was very good. We caught multiple fish on jerkbaits and Rock Crawlers. No spinnerbait bites or jig bites, but we really just focused on the jerks and crawlers. They were slamming them. A majority of the fish were just inside main lake points. Some on secondary's but it was a weird weather weekend, with 60 Friday, 54 Saturday and snow on Sunday. Welcome to MIssouri. We caught crappie, but it was tough. They just weren't up on the spawning banks yet like they usually are. We would catch 2 or 3 on some banks, and that was it. All males. Most banks, which we know are spawning banks, were empty. Could be a number of factors so who knows. I bet this weekend will be a slaughter with the full moon. Here are some pics of the better fish.

25 lbs 10" beard 1 1/4 " spurs. Heaviest bird I have ever taken. Public land in Missouri. Came in silent, strutting his way to me, at 10:00 am. Love hunting the second shift!

Yep, it's actually the same building the Fish House is now. Man, I loved the Candlestick. We went there every year when I was growing up. Looked forward to it, every time. It was the only day I did not want to fish until dark! Ha!

Just seeing this so I am adding mine. In no particular order.. 1) The Quiet Man 2) The Big Lebowski 3) Planes, Trains and Automobiles 4) The Shawshank Redemption 5) Saving Private Ryan

Ah yea didn't pick up on that. Thought you meant Feb. 24th @mhall02. I used to see that all the time when I lived in St. Louis. One time at 28 a guy was fishing with minnows right on the ramp. Like everyone is saying, it's rampant. All you can do is educate and hope they realize what they're doing.
