Here is a couple of a young blacksnake. When checking a food plot this morning this guy was found on the fence. Cool here this morning and I am sure he spent the night there. I had to run back to the house to get the camera before it warmed up and he left. Shot some pictures. A bit later after it warmed up I went back and he was gone, Marty

Blacksnake in Vernon County

This item is sold and thanks to robwentfishing. It was nice to meet you in Springfield today for the deal. Please enjoy the pontoon as I have, Marty

It is not under water and brush creek is backed up real nice. There were two fellows getting ready to launch when we left. They were fishing for cats and they said they were doing real well on rod and reels. Using small bluegill and perch. Marty

Travis, I fished there today with a friend. We launched and fished down towards the bridge at 54 highway. Caught some nice crappie. Stockton is generating 24/7 right now so the water is real high. They have done some work at the access and have a new outhouse. Camping area and parking lot is in good shape. Conservation was there today doing some work on the road back to brush creek. Stockton is up and I would guess this will be the way they run the water for a while. But we all know this is subject to change with the ones that call the shots. Marty

I need 150.00 for the boat and for 250.00 it will come with a Minn Kota 34 Endura trolling motor. Give me a call if interested Thanks, (417)944-2477 Marty

Ramp is in good shape. Last week while the water was up went downstream below 54 and caught good crappie. Now that the flood gates at Stockton have been pinched down I cannot make it downstream to 54. Have to put in at 82 and go up. Caught nice whites and crappie yesterday. Walleye, white bass and crappie are strung out all the way to caplinger. Marty

I am excited about the upcoming shroom season. Here is a neat blog I found and the map on it will help in getting some idea of finds in our areas..... http://missourimorels.blogspot.com/ Marty

Gadgets fill the pockets, they dangle from the neck and belt. The overflow fills the trunk. The aggregate poundage becoms tonage. Aldo Leopold I am too guilty of this and need to lighten up. Marty
