"Vaughan, a juvenile delinquent in the offseason, in his major league debut!"

I can do that @gotmuddy. Two breasts should be enough, yea?

They are catching the same amount, in the same areas, as they always have. They used to spider rig, now they scope. I always say it is up to the fishermen. FFS is just a tool (a good one). You don't have to go out and keep every fish you catch. I don't. Used it on Truman last April to catch big, pre-spawn females and let all of them go. It can be done, I promise. More importantly, I've seen a lot of people using FFS that absolutely cannot grasp it. They suck at it, really. They would do better by shutting it off and just fishing blind. It's not as easy as putting it in the water and whoopee 15 crappie! Still have to know how to fish.

Still not great. We are getting some meltage with the sun but the major streets are still snow covered. Haven't tried a highway yet but it looks like they are covered still, too.

Well closed out middle zone with 6 mallards Thurs/Fri and a goose Saturday. Part of me wanted to go yesterday, but I'm getting wiser as I age. Things will lock up quite a bit for the foreseeable future outside of rivers and creeks. May have to jump down to the South Zone a few times. Still have plenty of bloodlust.

After two rounds yesterday I said screw it, I'm waiting until it's done. Went out this morning and got the driveway cleared for take off and the deck for the birds. They are eating me out of house and home last two days. Had 37 cardinals on the deck yesterday evening.

11-inches and counting here where I'm at in KC (according to my driveway measurement). Layer of 1/4" ice underneath it. Yesterday hunted in Clinton and fished Truman, and driving back it was starting to get bad. Slid a few times but the way people were acting was too over the top. Just drive slow and don't be an idiot. Took almost 3 hrs to get home. 435 was shutdown right after I pulled in.

I will bring some crappie and duck or goose jerky.

Nice, Marty! Buddy out this morning said we got a ton of ducks overnight. Since two guys quit at work, I haven't been able to go but three days since 11/17. Wish they would've quit in June. Oh well, maybe I can salvage the rest of middle zone. I don't know much in the South zone so maybe I'll just wait until KS opens back up. Not the season I envisioned, that's for sure.

Not a fan. I went in there one time and they barely had anything and were rude. Could've been just the day, but I've not been back since. That was 5 years ago.

Sadly, yes. Kevin is retiring. Realllllyyy sucks.

John and I are booked in Cabin 10 1/30-2/2. Have a boat all day Friday. Have room for one more if somebody wants to join.

Perfect timing, can't wait. I will likely be bringing Steinman and possibly my cousin John. I will rent a boat, and I am willing to drive the boats if somebody rents and isn't comfortable navigating.

I've tried liver about five different ways and I just cannot like it. Maybe these would be the way.

A man has to keep his head on a swivel for those Attack Couches!

The hill I will die on is drop dumplings are true dumplings and flat ones are not. It's an irrational stand, but I have a moral obligation!

2 cups cake flour, 2 tsps baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbs melted butter, 3/4 cup milk

Ryan Walker with Ozark Smallmouth Alliance in the spring around Table Rock. Clayton Eliasen all year on TR/BS. Stockton, Kris Nelson with Tandem Fly Outfitters year 'round. Tony Galant is a good one as well. Those are all ones I know in SWMO and are all great guides.

I would if I had duck to give you. I have not shot many this year. Haven't had time with work. Steinman has plenty from his ND trip.

I am sad I will be working all weekend. Be sure to call me 78 times again so I feel like I'm there. Hope you guys catch some fish. I know you'll eat well.

Who's going to bring the smoker and leave 22 trout fillets in it overnight?

Just make sure you have a big bed and don't roll out like Taneyfest

@dpitt is a good dude and great fly fisherman. You all better be nice to him for using the whippy stick. Sad I will be missing it

Never too cold for trout. In fact, I like it better. Maybe that's because of the lack of people.. Agree with Pete. Go to Lilley's and get some jigs. You'll catch 'em.

You know, you are right. I'm no narc but those are the type of people who ruin public land duck hunting for everybody. Maybe now they'll think before doing what they did. Or just stay away. There are TONS of guys who go about it the right way, don't get me wrong. And those of us who despise the type of guys I ran into want them to go away. I get it, it's public land, but it's not too much to just be a decent person. Some good examples. When I was in Iowa this year, I was dressing at the lot and met Frank, a professor. Pro tip: you will know within 30 sec of meeting somebody at a lot if they are good people. I knew Frank was. He said "well hell, we might as well hunt together instead of competing." I agreed. I had a blast. We shot ducks and laughed all morning. I have his number now and invited him to come to Missouri or Kansas should he want to. Teal season in Kansas met Trevor and his son Malcolm. Asked where they were going and he said well I don't know, haven't been able to scout. I had. It was his son's first duck hunt. I said well if you want to hunt together, come with me and let's get him his first duck. We have been friends ever since. Had my buddy Chris make him some calls that I am delivering on our next hunt together. Two years ago I was in between jobs so I could hunt whenever. Got out to the marsh at 8:30. Two guys in the spot I wanted to be. I watched them shoot their limits from the lot and as they came back helped them lug their gear and full straps back to the trucks. "Wow, thanks so much for not walking in on us and setting up close. That's rare these days." They left and I went in and shot a limit, too. It's more good than bad, but the bad ones certainly stand out.
