Wheatenheimer Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Oh you know it. I am lookin at mid Janurary for that trip I was telling you about. Are Sundays good for you? I can do a Saturday but, that is a little tougher for Buzz. The schedule I am currently on has me with Thursday, Friday, Saturday off. But, with a couple weeks advance notice, I can usually work out a trade with someone to get a Sunday off. Let me know when and we'll make it happen!
mhall02 Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 No Smallmouth at the confluence of Shoal and Capps? Man, I caught some of my best smallmouth along there and there as well a real nice one two holes up from the bridge where you park. I need to get down there again one day, used to hit it a lot my Jr. and Sr. year of High School ('87-'88).....holy cow, that was over 20 years ago!!!
ollie Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 We could have used all of you at the "Fest"! Then I would have had to break out the chili.

Chief Grey Bear Posted December 18, 2009 Author Posted December 18, 2009 They did pretty well. 20+ fish between them I believe. A bunch of rainbows and a few browns. Made me wish I had skipped the doctors appointment. Kev can tend to ramble, but most of what he says is spot on. I haven't fished with many people as technically minded as Kevin. That being said, I have learned a great deal from both of them. They loved the area. We are smallmouth junkies at heart, so a small creek or river is ideal. They were eyeballing Shoal Creek for some srping and summer pontoon action. Ahh good to hear. Sounds like a good day on Capp's. Kevin and I didn't talk fishing. It was on a more personal level and I am glad that he confided in me. The schedule I am currently on has me with Thursday, Friday, Saturday off. But, with a couple weeks advance notice, I can usually work out a trade with someone to get a Sunday off. Let me know when and we'll make it happen! You are on the top of the list. I will talk with Buzz and see what he can do too. No Smallmouth at the confluence of Shoal and Capps?

But yeah no bownies on this trip. I wasn't really looking for them though. I have fished that area for them and well.....you know.... We could have used all of you at the "Fest"! Then I would have had to break out the chili. Ah heck, save it for next year!

Midwest troutbum Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Just a thought.... If you reel in 25 fish in one outing, are you doing anyone else a favor or just creating higher fishing pressure levels? In the state of MO, with most trout being in existence only due to stocking our waters, catching a limit should be considered even with catch and release at some point.

Buzz Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Don't worry the stocking truck comes at regular intervals on Capps Creek. Anyway, C&R fishermen are not the problem on this creek and releasing fish to be caught again helps everyone, including myself. If fishing was easy it would be called catching.

Just another thought...thank goodness you pulled up this two year old thread and provided everyone a little insight into your philosophy on C&R.
