Kinda sounds like nonsense to me too... :taps_foot:

Sounds good, Sunday's are best for me...

Exactly.. Nuff said.

Beautiful, it remiss me if the upper gasconade.. The land owners remind me of the Osage Fork.. Fantastic bass water though, for sure... I'll look forward to hitting it again this fall...

And e'en then don't be surprised if I don't wanna seriously discuss it.. Now if you wanna play a lil tune, we can do that...

Yeah, I help clean up the Niangua on occasion (and every time I float), but there's no end to it.. Pm sent.

I'll see you in October then... (at least on that stretch)

Like you even have to ask... :roll_eyes: I'm thinking: Worst case scenario- We float through once a year cleaning up trash and politely calling the Sheriff IF ever a landowner decided to bother us Best case scenario- Mr Prater is there at the end of the float to greet us and serve us hot dogs Either way, I have a plan... Neither plan would include "bugging the dung" outta anyone.

Sorry, I didn't clarify with my first post... I wasn't aware of a Stream Team already on Shoal Creek (this stretch didn't appear managed whatsoever) Joining an existing Shoal Creek Stream Team would be much quicker than organizing one ourselves... Who should I contact?

You're such a rebel, Justin...

seems like a good idea to me...

Thanks Al, well said.

Truly, I just don't understand what he did that he could have been arrested for?

Indeed, welcome...

I believe that if someone interferes or harrasses with a person fishing within the banks of a stream or river that has been accessed by way of a public boat launch put in by the Missouri Department of Conservation, then the harrasser/interferer should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. The state of Missouri has laws in place to keep this from happening and yet it still happens all the time. The only way to stop this type of harrassment and intimidation is to punish the law breakers. This stream, Shoal Creek, has obviously been deemed navigatable by someone in the higher powers of the states government, or the MDC would not have put a public boat launch on the stream in order for the public to navigate it. I, Cricket Everett Lennon Staggs, demand that something be done in order to correct this wrong doing and to insure that it does not happen again.

No, Tony hasn't emailed me those pics yet... (I'm more interested in the video) Chief has some pics that he hasn't posted yet, methinks...

Of course not, help yourself!

I wasnt tresspassing, I was standing on a gravel island in the center of the stream bed.. And yes, I do remember seeing purple paint on darn near every tree on this float... (even one that had fallen out into the river)

If I give you my address, will you mail me some? (thanks for the advice! And yes, I've been drinking the Rapala kewlaid for a couple years now.. Good stuff)

Well you go get him, tiger... Just don't forget to pack a lunch! Where's your fishing report buddy? Was that a comfy ride for the day, or what?

So in that summation Shoal Creek would be a navigable stream, public access points and all! But wait, then I wouldn't be allowed to keep a heartshaped rock or arrowhead if I found it?

Hmm... You'd think there'd be some sensibility to the guy somewhere, but he just don't kwit do he? And to think, I felt bad for posting his name on here... (still kinda do, but done is done) I'll call the sheriff tomorrow.. As to Johns question about why I didn't bust out my super-slick sales tongue and coo them all? If you'd actually read Carnegies book you'd know! lol (sorry John, but that was too obvious a one to pass on, I've been attempting to stay outta your craw )

:sigh: thanks for reminding me... I kinda miss my barca-lounger boat..

Meh, You say tomato, I say shut the hell up... lol

I did replace the hat.. But not because of pressure from you homophobes.. And of course I knew you were yankin me...
