Hello

[storkboy]

I live in st louis. My girlfriend and I have a goal to float every navigable float that liviries provide in Missouri before we die, in 9 years we have done at least 20 floats. She works at a school, and has summers off. I am a self employed painter, so we try and go camping, fishing and floating during the week. We have a teardrop trailer I pull around with my 4 cyl chevy s-10. I love catching smallmouths, I caught the biggest one I ever caught on the current two Wednesdays ago, just 15 inches, but I'm only 40, and am still learning.

I am going on the gasconade this week, floating with Boiling spring campground. Anybody ever do trips to their campground; from lay Z day (10 miles)? blue spring(8 miles)? mossy spring (7 miles)? We like to end our float at the campground, I hate waiting for the bus and the ride back.

I mostly use plastic minnows and plastic crawdads and I throw everything back.

Not much of a trout fisherman, because I fear I might spend every cent I have on fly rods, gear and spend all my time fishing, maybe once I retire.

Have a nice day

Brian
