I have to assume that the scope picture is much clearer on clear water lakes. Been using it on a lake with a couple feet max of visibility. I see a lot but no way could I see bluegill in a brushpile. I see various glowing fish b ut can only tell that some are bigger than others.

Thanks for the lobster roll update. I won't be getting a $26 dollar roll.

Wow. Nice mess. Love me some fried gills.

Definitely need some big rains

Made the mistake of trying the fish and chips at Off the Hook. Poor excuse for fish and chips. The fish was tasteless and greasy. Once was enough and have never been back. I did see a truck the other day selling Lobster rolls. Might try it the next time I see the truck.

Jealous. Nice shooting.

Always too darn hot at the Mo State Fair.

What a great trip and a great read. You captured it all very well.

I know of a guy that got a stickbait hung on some brush. Gave it the old heave ho and ended up with 7/9 points in his ear

My Son stopped to fish on his way to work early this AM. He is into all the big glides, swimbaits, and topwaters. His 3rd cast he caught a 3.5 pounder which ended up burying one point of a big treble to the shank, in the back of his hand. It looked to be centered through the tendon behind his pointer finger. I have no idea how he managed to get the fish off the other treble with just his left hand. I was unwilling to risk damage to the tendon so off to the ER we went. Doc cut it off and pushed it through without a local. Had I known that I'd of done the braid trick or pushed it through myself.

Dutch - What Regs do you speak of? MDC? State? Quillbacks response contained, "Recreational activities such as fishing, swimming, and diving are prohibited from public use including marina customers and patrons. " That would seem to preclude slip renters from fishing off the docks.

Have run into no warning on the Sac below Stockton. Our float moved along quickly with a scramble to get out at J-Bridge. Not fun.

Is there a law prohibiting fishing around commercial docks?

Get that coontail established and it is a bass mecca. Love running chatterbaits through the coontail.

He'd have buzzed his last. Then I'd have taken some bourbon to settle my nerves.
