10pointer Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 can't argue with that No kidding! PSA: Everyone watch out for bullets and molitov cocktails if you happen to fish January Wabash in Ferguson! That's the environment the trout thrive in the best.... ghetto warzones! Everyone knows this... I do love to hit the Busch C&R lakes though...as much as I hate to see the good ones stocked in the St. Louis lakes I do like to take a run at them since Busch is 5 minutes from my house. One thing that really does piss me off though is the initial stockings when the water temps in the lakes typically arent cold enough which causes a high mortality rate in combination with the low oxygen levels. You will see the big ones floating... some from the shock and some from being caught and not revived. I cant even count how many times I have had to revive fish because the morons out there land one and just toss it back and either dont care/dont know how to revive the large fish. And tagged fish for money??? Thats a new one and I'm sure will drive more folks to the already overcrowded lakes! Any more on this rumor?
Greasy B Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I grew up fishing January Walbash Lake, I work about 15 minutes away. Think I'll stop by in a couple of weeks visit the home waters of my youth. Don't be fooled my media hype north county isn't so bad. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974

Think I'll stop by in a couple of weeks visit the home waters of my youth. Don't be fooled my media hype north county isn't so bad. I fished January Wabash a couple of times last winter. I did not catch anything but that is a different subject. I have no problem but I live up here.

Do you suppose another quick stop will burn if no tagged fish are caught ?

Forgive me if misunderstand you, but you get pissed because people don't revive fish that are destined to die in two months regardless of whether they are revived or not? Do you spend the ten minutes to revive a bass you catch or just toss it back in? How about a bluegill? This hypocrisy is what makes me cringe. Andy
fishinwrench Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Well then, I'm pissed that you're pissed that He's pissed. Now who's gonna get pissed that I got pissed about you being pissed at him for being pissed ?
Jerry Rapp Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Well then, I'm pissed that you're pissed that He's pissed. Now who's gonna get pissed that I got pissed about you being pissed at him for being pissed ? you owe me a keyboard FW! Now a serious question. Do you want MDC stocking urban lakes with trout that will die one way or the other, or do you want them to take that money and hire another couple of agents to patrol the natural fisheries in the state of Missouri?
fishinwrench Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 You asking me, specifically ? I'd rather the trout be thrown in the Red, White, and Blues myself, but hey if they wanna haul them across the state and throw them into drainage ditches in a lame attempt to "promote trout fishing"...... WTFever.
Fly_Guy Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I want them stocking lakes with yummy trout that are large, and 10 minutes from my house. Cheers, haters!
