Members freelancer 11 Posted January 13, 2010 Members Posted January 13, 2010 I would like to catch a limit of bass that would put me in the check line. Then I would know I'm doing somthing right besides just paying for fuel.

Members nobutt56 Posted January 13, 2010 Members Posted January 13, 2010 More time on the water and more rivers fished. The last few years I've gotten away from exploring new streams. I used to go on at least one Ozarks road trip a year...spend a week traveling throughout portions of the Ozarks where I hadn't been too many times, fishing a new stream every day. But I haven't done that for quite a while. So, the concrete goal is to do at least one Ozark road trip, and hopefully one road trip outside the Ozarks. I did a Tennessee/Kentucky road trip a few years ago and fished several streams in those two states. But I've always wanted to do an Iowa/southern Minnesota road trip. There are three rivers in eastern Iowa that have good smallie fishing, and a couple in Minnesota south of Minneapolis. If I made it a two week trip, I'd come back down through Wisconsin and fish several western Wisconsin streams as well. Or maybe a Ouachita Mountain road trip, fish the Caddo, Ouachita, Glover, Mountain Fork... My lifetime goal is to fish at least one river in all 50 states. I've got 28 of them out of the way already, including the two that are farthest away...Alaska and Hawaii. Shouldn't be too hard. Only problem is finding a river to fish in places like Kansas and Rhode Island. Another lifetime goal is to float every floatable river in the Ozarks. I don't really have too many left to do. Several in SW MO, some in Arkansas, and the few good ones in Oklahoma. States where I've fished a river... California Oregon Washington Idaho Arizona New Mexico Colorado Wyoming Montana Minnesota Iowa Missouri Arkansas Wisconsin Illinois Kentucky Tennessee Florida South Carolina Virginia West Virginia Pennsylvania New Jersey New York Michigan Maine Alaska Hawaii Major Ozark streams I haven't floated... Spring River (SW MO) Center Creek Elk River Big Sugar Creek Indian Creek Flat Creek Finley River Bull Creek Moreau River (both forks) Osage River Pomme de Terre River War Eagle Creek Mulberry River Big Piney Creek (AR) Forks of the Little Red River South Fork Spring River Strawberry River So I hope to check some of them off the list this year! dont forget shoal creek above granby. awesome!!!!!!!!1

slider Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks fore all of the help with the elbow. I have been to the chropracter and he seems to be helping me some, it feels better today than it has in about a month. He told me 90 to 120 days and I should be ok. That is kinda pushing whitebass and sucker grabbing so I'll keep working on the rehab and hope fore the best. Thanks again Slider DONT EVER GIVE UP MOSES WAS A BASKET CASE ONCE!

Brian K. Shaffer Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 i would like to catch one of the 6 goldens that were released into Taneycomo this past week. Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
drew03cmc Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 My goal is to catch wild trout in a half dozen Missouri creeks, both managed and unmanaged this year. Andy

What species would you like to catch in Kansas? There are accesses with boat ramps on most rivers in the state. If I were you, I would hit the Flint Hills on either the Cottonwood or Caney to chase some spotted bass. They are Micropterus p. Punctulatus and are apparently a different strain. If you have to float a river, check KDWP's site for accesses, but if wading is ok, take your pick. Don't say, "Only problem is finding a river to fish in places like Kansas and Rhode Island" like we have no rivers in Kansas. Andy
Chief Grey Bear Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Hey Andy I agree. There is some great river fishing in KS. You just have to know where.
