Wayne SW/MO Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 lets remember least we forget that they were here first and most people who now seek to enjoy these resources are outsiders. Well given the facts that I was born in Western Missouri, and I'm 70 years old, I doubt that very many were here first. I certainly don't think that's an excuse for their actions. I won't insult pigs by calling them that because if you keep pigs in a clean environment they will tend to keep it that way. There are obviously some fishermen who don't know the difference. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Flysmallie, I don’t know how we lumped all the locals worth knowing in with the ones not worth knowing but I don’t think we’ll have any trouble telling who’s who when we meet them face to face. By all means try and keep your kids a safe distance from the idiots of the world. Where you are now in life I have already been having raised three kids of my own. I had the same problem with running into people who had no idea how to act in public. I won’t defend an idiot even if I understand why he’s an idiot. I hope I didn’t mislead anyone by anything that I said that might make them think that I would. Nor do I wish to offend or bother anyone on this forum by the things I post. If ever my rambling begin to bother you please simply ignore me as I do others when their talking about things I don’t care about. As you probably can tell from some of my post I don’t take things too seriously. I clown around a lot, not that I can’t be serious, it’s just that I don’t need to be. I have plenty of time to do the things I will do so why not have a little fun along the way. I like this forum, there are some good guys here, you being one, but if I pop in on someone’s thread and they tell me to get lost I go! No sense in hanging around where you’re not wanted right? On my threads I just try and get people talking in the direction that I want to go. It’s not a life and death situation to find fish and if I learn nothing about the rivers from anyone well no worries. I’ll learn it on my own. In fact I have already found all the crappie I’ll need in a farm pond just outside of Clever. I’ll find a fish or two in the rivers this summer and add them to the gene pool. The information you gave me was very helpful. Information like that times a few other people can give you a feel for where to start looking for crappie or concentrate your effort in the search. In the beginning I was hoping to find fish close because I was limited to how far I could travel and still keep them alive. But I soon figured out I may have to travel so I bought an aerator and am now set up to go where ever I may need to go in the spring. I don’t fish anymore in the fall or winter. I simply just don’t enjoy it any more. Like you I like to get away from the crowds and wade the creeks in the summer. And I’m not worried about your daughter! I could easily out fish her. Are you kidding me? Before warned with the inside scoop, knowing she’s 10 and already a pro staffer I would simply cheat by giving her a game boy, I-pod, and cell phone! If I only caught one fish I would win the day! LOL I know how to handle kids! Every time she would look away I would cut her line! LOL I’m old school and not above tipping the canoe over if desperate! Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!
Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 No worries Ozark trout fish, I understand your situation! I have placed you on my utterly useless and retarded list! LOL We all know that anyone who lives as far north of the Ozarks as you do can’t be good for anything anyway! LOL Just don’t fall in the water because we won’t jump in to save you! Signed: ALL OF US LOL Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!
Flysmallie Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 I think your ramblings are very entertaining most of the time. Sometimes you lose me but my attention level isn't that great. And I'm not worried about your daughter! I could easily out fish her. Are you kidding me? Before warned with the inside scoop, knowing she's 10 and already a pro staffer I would simply cheat by giving her a game boy, I-pod, and cell phone! If I only caught one fish I would win the day! LOL I know how to handle kids! Every time she would look away I would cut her line! LOL I'm old school and not above tipping the canoe over if desperate! I've thought about dumping her into the water a few times myself! But she is still a good kid, it's the 15 year old that I can't figure out. Good luck with the pond. Sounds like you have probably found what you need in Clever.
Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Stone, Bull shoals at night with underwater lights? That sounds interesting! What’s that all about? Looking for crappie I hope? Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!
Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Good gravy! 70? Wayne that must make you one of the founding fathers! How did you get here from Plymouth Rock? LOL What do you mean by your last line? Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!
Wayne SW/MO Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 That some fishermen don't know the difference? Simply that they don't know the difference between a clean environment and a trashy one. I wish I could call them something other than fishermen, but many are, and some simply use the remote parking areas for other activities. I have to laugh at some though, such as those that put their trash in a plastic bag, and then leave the bag? I assume they feel they are being responsible by not scattering it, separating themselves from the worst of the litterers. I know you were attempting to be kind to those that litter, but I just don't believe there is any excuse. There was a time when accessing most streams was over private land and permission wasn't that hard to get, but you best not leave a mess if you ever intended to comeback. Not the Plymouth Rock, but some of my family was in Missouri between 1807 and 1814. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Daveinozark Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 wow, I just noticed Buckshotdad joined Sep 4 this year and already has 122 posts!!!! And most are not short! ha ha very comical though
Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Man, that’s way back in the day! You’re definitely a native local Wayne! We might have to check you for Indian feathers! LOL I know what you mean about the trash, we all should do our part to help keep it clean. My pet peeve is broken glass. I don’t drink but I believe if you’re going to out in the woods then you should use cans. If you throw them down and leave them then at least there’s a chance someone might pick them up and recycle them. Broken glass just sits there waiting for someone’s kid to step on it and cut their foot. This happened to my son one time. Talk about a day killer, not to mention my son was hurt and it cost me money to have him stitched up. Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!
Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Wow, you’re kidding? How many? That buckshot must not be right in the head! Some would even say retarded! What’s your analyses on that guy? Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!
