Delicious ??? by the way, keep chiming in, this forum needs it

I normally don't give out this type of information, but for you Pete, it's the least I can do! I caught this Smallmouth on the exact spot shown in the map. As you can see, she was a horse, almost ready to spawn.

I've only caught a 17" on the Meramec, but bigger on lakes. The camo pattern will age the photo?

Open house was a hoot! Pretty cold in the am but didn't deter the guys and gals from coming! Met so many forum members and talked fishing for hours! Hopefully the guys will post some pics!

Along time ago I asked Joe trout what was the perfect size boat for the Ozarks streams, he said 1650 flat bottom. I had a buddy with a tunnel hull and he didn't like it and went back and got a flat bottom

Squash helps my blood sugar better than pasta

Celebrating Chinese New Year!

They have trout in those plastic tanks for you Joe!

It's not the Ritz Carlton, but we have fun and get the job done ✅

All rules don't apply if you have a River Pro. They've got an inboard jet and can do a 360 at 20-30 MPH. Charles, I've driven the exact boat you're describing and it was very nice.

Spaghetti squash is my pasta substitute. They've got a bunch of great "pasta" recipes on-line!

The decoding of these "phrases" takes special skills. Bravo, comrade

I still carry a partial fish hook in my right calf since I was 15.

LOL not yet!!

Stuck in a hotel in Wichita. I'm going to name my 5 favorite acting performances, not movies. They are as follows: 1. Robert Shaw -Jaws....USS Indianapolis scene 2. Christoph Waltz-Inglorious Bastards 3. Barry Corbin- No Country for Old Men 4. HUD- Patricia Neal 5. Geraldine Page- Trip to Bountiful

Anyone try these yet? I bought some and can't wait to try them.

Rocks top pic, wood bottom. Regarding the hole for the rattle, they make a commercial grade plastic core device made out of brass, I believe. But a buddy of mine uses sections of an old telescoping car antenna. It has several diameters to accommodate different size rattles. Yea, I remember they used to make a fizzing alka seltzer product for tubes!? We leave the craws in the packaging to maintain shape; but you could put them in a bag with scent if you want. Keep in mind that the movement of the claws is important, and if they are out of shape or twisted incorrectly, they don't quite act the same. 5/16 oz seems to be the best size weight for the craw for most river conditions. It will get down pretty quickly in current and you can reasonably fish it down to 10-12 feet pretty easily. You might need to use a tad heavier equipment than you are currently using. I like a medium or medium heavy fast tip rod, 6-7' long. 12-15 lb test line.

I'll discuss and get back to you soon

At first glance it looks like our dark green pumpkin color, we would have to add orange flakes. The hardness will not be changed.

To be honest JD, we haven't thought about it yet. Describe exactly which color you are looking for?

In case you would like to see the presentation at the MSA meeting: The first video starts out sideways then corrects. MSAMatt filmed this on his phone ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5gQv6Wevtg&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwfcWPVwlx0&feature=youtu.be

She will get over it! Mine is deadly afraid of bees. All brought on by her older sister...She's slowly coming out of it.

My daughter goes to badminton class...it's a Chinese thing. Bunch of Chinese dudes in Beemers bring their kids and charge out the wazoo...not my style.

JD, on the back of our packaging, we have a color choice called "Special Run". We are open to color suggestions, but for right now we will stick with 5 colors. That way its one color for every day of the work week ( black and blue Monday, Table Rock Tuesday, etc :)). I cant even begin to tell you how many special colors we've been asked to create. The left over plastic in the sprue of the mold resembles a witch's hat. We sometimes remelt the witch hats to make craws for ourselves, but these "witch hat" craws are not for public consumption. They are basically colors mixed together, and they have 2 different hardness levels. We have a young man in our shop who helps make our craws; His name is Terrance, and he's as good as it gets. He is unbelievably talented and very personable. Every lure is done one at a time, and he takes ownership in the process...So happy that Hog Wally found him.
