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.

As Wrench said mount it on the port side. If you'd like pics of my setup pm me your cell digits and I'll text you some pics. I have never had any tracking issues with it mounted on port side of a Lowe 1648 Big Jon.

Looks like fun. Would love to see the recipe for the beans with apple pie filling. I'm intrigued.

Always caught fish "on the rise", but when she was up and rolling it got real tough. Scary deal in a canoe when you are down river from 32 and they flip the switch. Best to get to your takeout and get the heck of the river.

I've never seen an MDC project that is ever done on time. Shell Osage is a perfect example. Wonder if it will ever get finished.

Looks like a blast

Wish this would have been available last summer. I bought one and am completely impressed with its ability to keep minnows alive. This is an absolute steal at the price you are offering. I'm sure it won't last long.

Door County is my favorite vacation spot. So much to do and see along with the great fishing. Whether its a gys trip, or one with the wife and family, it will not disappoint. On your way back to Missouri, make a stop in the tiny town of Newton, WI. and go to the Newton Meats. http://www.newtonmeatsinc.com/ They also have a FB page. My great Uncle started this place many years ago and the folks that own it now still use many of his recipes. Phenomenal sausage of every variety. Polish, Summer, and more brat variations than you can imagine. I always load the cooler on the way home and freeze it when I get back. Eat great sausage till my next trip north. Supper clubs throughout Wisconsin provide incredible dining experiences. Planning a trip for June/July.

Great people doing great things.

70+ percent of people who own boats should not. Rarely do they know anything about them or how to properly drive them.

Hopefully they will spawn and not reabsorb the eggs.

Females still full of eggs Seth? Seems like the spawn is late this year.

Only a couple actually make money in most derbies. The break even line goes much farther down in the professional tourneys. For some it is about ego and thinking they are a pro.
