New Campground/outfitter On The Gasconade?

Sounds like you had better luck than us. A few of my better (and by better I mean 12-13") fish came in the middle of the river out in the open as well. We had grand plans of waking up at first light every morning and hitting the topwater hard, but somehow we slept in too late every morning... I did throw a mini chatterbait a fair amount with no luck.

I actually live about 5 minutes from 133 and 10 minutes from hwy 7. Also have some family property about halfway down on the river. I saw 4 jet boats running close to wide open halfway between 133 and 7 (going upstream) last week. Braver fellas than I .

There's some pretty tight spots thru there. Not going to run wide open very far.

We had 3 guys in a Jon boat come by camp banging and dragging about 5 am Sunday. That's the only reason I was able to get up early and catch some fish.

We saw a big family group with a jetboat setting up camp about a mile upstream of 133. Never saw them running the boat, just beached on the sandbar.

Flysmallie were you the group that was using the rope swing Sat, had 1 canoe and a kayak. We were a group of 4, two canoes red and green. That johnboat did not have much gear for camping on the river. They came by us at about 7:30. Caught plenty of fish, son caught the largest 17 3/4 in smallmouth.

A 17 + fish is darn nice. If jets made it up last week I doubt they could this week. It's likely their boats are wearing scars from pushing the limit. This should be the start of quiet season on that stretch of Ga-nade.
