    Cat fishing from a kayak is fun also....Fighting a 24" cat with one hand and the paddle in the other hand trying to keep from being pulled into trees... A good challenge, throw running water into the mix....

    That mouse...reminds me of my little pond , A few yrs ago I got into feeding the fish grasshopers and crickets I would catch in a big net.....Well I have a no kill mouse trap, so I tossed one into the pond and instantly a bass got it,,,,seconds later the mouse pops up and swims to shore,I guess the bass prefered bugs....

    I thought as much....A few years ago when they were starting the bridge project....there were a group of conservation guys at Mule Shoe,.. snorkling and checking out the fish down stream.....These were young guys, they said there were some real nice fish in there....      

    Also I have never been from Bannister to Fiery Fork.......

    History Of Blue Springs

    Nobody I know has ever been approached or ran off from gravel bars between Prosperine and Leadmine but plenty of seemingly intimidating signage on the gravel bars is very common through there and it is obviously directed towards fishermen since all the party floating ends above there.

    I still stop at those "posted" places if I want to wade and fish, have lunch, or just stretch my legs, but it does make me nervous so I tend not to linger even though there's times that I'd like to just chill awhile without having to keep looking over my shoulder and worrying about a potential confrontation with some gunslinging Niangua Land & Cattle employee that THINKS he is doing the right thing.

    The part that bugs me the worst is that MDC agents know that those ("Private Property-Don't Stop Here") signs are all along there but they choose to just let it slide knowing full well that it is an intimidating infringement to people who are within their rights to be there....and to stop and fish/wade/camp if they darn well please.

    But instead of contacting those landowners and "advising them" the agents are just gonna let the situation go uncorrected until somebody has a confrontation with the wrong-somebody-else.

    What is it that those people down in that neighborhood are worried about ?

    Some fisherman trudging 2-4 miles thru the briars to steal something off their land ? Ya think they might load one of your cows into a canoe or Jon boat and make off with it?

    Give me a freakin break !

    They bought land along a stretch of navigable public waterway and are attempting to intimidate the public via signage (or "graffiti", depending on how you look at it) on gravel bars that implys that river users have no right to be there.

    It's wrong and I cop an attitude every time I see it. Those signs are nothing but obnoxious misplaced litter and I really wish the people who put them there would kindly clean them up.

    Couldn't be said better, Make a nice flyer to attach to those signs.....
