    Gas

    in Lake of the Ozarks

    Posted

    daughter and I were crappie fishing at Point View Resort by the ‘big island’ on the niangua last weekend? (I didn’t drag the boat, so location didn’t much matter by water)

    But; they have gas on the water at about $2.00/gallon.

    We were fishing off the dock and an older couple from out of town came by in desperate need of gas on the water In their new-to-them boat; asking if gas was available. They tried 2 other resorts and pumps weren’t on.

    I had no clue if Point View pumps were on, so I called the resort and the resort owner came down and I helped fill the guys boat for him. (New boat purchase and he didn’t know where the fill opening was) Ranger multi-species with fill cap at the trolling motor.........who knew???!?!?..........anyway, Super nice folks from Minnesota; glad we could help.:-)

    Mill Creek was over full. My son and I launched at sunrise. Appeared there was an impromptu tournament happening. This based off 15-20 guys standing around with boats still on the trailer. All of them ignoring social distancing and group size orders. 
    it’s things like that which will lead to lake or ramp closure. I’m somewhere between disappointment and PO’d. 
    thankfully marina gas shouldn’t be an option for the freshwater plows. 

    Yup........as usual, those sorta clowns will ruin it for everyone.

    Interesting point. However, here is something to think about.

    When the uncontrolled laissez faire capitalism of the late 19th century and early 20th century created very powerful industry owners and very poor workers, the workers tried to change things. Riots occurred as owners tried to prevent union formation. Read about the Haymarket affair, the Pullman strike, and the Battle of Blair Mountain. Finally the creation of unions helped tame the extreme disparity of wealth.

    In the last 20 years we have seen some of that same disparity of wealth develop and business owners use political actions to control workers. The pressure is building. While I agree that some current union practices can be abusive, I expect work force pressures will force the formation of new unions or changes in the existing ones.

    Sorry to interrupt an interesting thread about the frequency of poor manners. I just thought I would put on my teacher face for a bit. Motoman, please rest assured the comment was meant as interesting discussion and not with ill will.

    Oh, I’m with yah rps. There’s certainly a time and place for them.  And I don’t take your comments the wrong way, it’s all good.

    But, the stunts Bill talked about that guest pulling; coupled with the games pulled at my wife’s work (and when their ‘representatives’ came to our home uninvited to ‘talk’ with my wife about joining......and wouldn’t leave until she threatened to call the police) has me a bit jaded. I’ve got plenty of other poor  direct/indirect interactions over the years of similar dealings; so it’s tough to be impartial on this one.:-(

    My thoughts too m&m. Let’s counter that clowns trolling on those travel sites.

    Those union folks know they’re dinosaurs going extinct. This kinda nonsense is their last ditch effort to cling to relevance. Folks at my wife’s work tried to unionize. But, the union folks intimidation and strong arm tactics did them in. Overwhelming majority of employees expressed the same disgust in their old world tactics. They’re their own worst enemies.🤦🏻‍♂️

    Good post Foxman........I’m in the market for new electronics too. Don’t want to break the bank either; but would like something to help me quickly rule out unproductive water.

    Side imaging seems like it would be handy to idle past shoreline/pockets for at least a quick look-see; but what do I know. It’ll be interesting to hear folks opinions who regularly fish the rock.

    Thanks for the post; we’re down fishing for a few days and are really struggling. 

    Finding a fish here and there; but no pattern. Frustrating stuff. Kinda been this way the past few years. Covering water either direction of KC, trying new stuff, new water. Not much to show for it. Glad it’s not just us having to cover a lot of water to find fish. Oh well; just gonna keep grinding. 😐

    Awesome pix and whatta day! You’ve ruined them on fishing unless you can duplicate that day in the future.🤪 (But, even if you can’t, slow days on the water really force conversation outta kids too. Still a win)

    I drove truck for 31 years and the driver will get a big ticket and the company that he drives for will be responsible for damages! That is why they post signs that are to be read!

    I would sure hope so. Such a huge weight discrepancy betweeen bridge capacity and vehicle weight should be an enormous red flag to that driver. 🤦‍♂️

    It’ll be interesting to hear if there’s any damage to the bridge.
