Mitch f Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Just throwing this out....... Is anyone interested in having a summer Float n Boat event? I was thinking of the Gasconade River in the SMA section at Boiling Springs campgrounds, or if you have a better idea please post it. We could arrive early am or the night before and camp out, then provide shuttle service for a number of canoes or Kayaks, then arrive for the totals at 6:00pm for a Bar B Que. We could have Al, Chief, and Smalliebigs provide fishing lessons to us lesser talented individuals. I can pick up Eric form St. Charles county and we can drive by to pick up Smallie, then head down. Maybe the 2 Zach's could give us fly fishing lessons and I could attempt to use a fly rod for the second time in my life Maybe Cricket could have a speedo jello wrestling station (just joshin ya) anyway, it sounds like fun to me and we could get to meet each other for the first time. The Gasconade is a pretty big river at this location (where the Big Piney comes in) and should be big enough to have fun for all I'm thinking around mid-late July or early August "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor

drew03cmc Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I was kidding bud. I am down for fishing hot weather. The bite is often as hot as the weather. Andy
Al Agnew Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Sounds good to me, as long as we make it before mid to late July.
flytyer57 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 If it's gonna be in July, better make it an evening float to avoid the 100+ heat. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
Mitch f Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 If it's gonna be in July, better make it an evening float to avoid the 100+ heat. Maybe we can go in early July, never done an evening float but there's always a first. I took a guy from Stockton, MO who is kind of famous for tying his rabbit hair jigs, on a float on the Gasconade once in my 12 ft Pelican boat. It got up to about 90 degrees that day and was pretty humid. About 2pm he turned around in the boat to inform me was going to pass out from the heat. 5 seconds later, he is laying in the bottom of my boat completely out. I paddled over to the closest shade and beached the boat. I took the semi frozen gel Packs from my cooler and placed one on his forehead and one under each arm. He seemed to be breathing ok but didn't come back for another 3 minutes or so. He started talking very quietly and finally sat back up. I knew we were approaching a spring in about 200 yards and he took off his shirt and hat and dunked it in the Spring water. He was finally ok, much to my relief. We later found out that the meds he was on caused the problem. Sorry for the indentation, sometimes the iPhone sucks "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
eric1978 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I'm about booked solid until August, but I'll make it if I can.
snagged in outlet 3 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Fishing lessons from these guys?? I'm in if the weekend works. I'll watch the thread for dates and times. Is there a hotel with AC nearby? Pete
gotmuddy Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 drink enough beer and it wont matter if you have ac. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
