Figured I'd get it started. Anyone going to try to make the opener this year??

I'll be down to watch the circus at the whistle.  Then if it clears out a little I'll fish some. I'm thinking with a midweek opener the crowd shouldn't be too bad.

It will only be elbow to elbow, not shoulder to shoulder.:lol:   If the weather is bad I might sneak by on my way back from Arkansas trip. Its fun to watch the "pro's" strut around.

I will be heading down for the opener.  I also will be observing the combat fishing arena and general shenanigans that occur on opening day.  Maybe fish the Niangua later, or the park if its not too crowded.  Might turn it into a Taney run as well if its just too busy.

I think it was back in the early 80's when I used to go to the opener every year at Bennett.

We would get to the hole under the main bridge at like 3 in the morning to get our spots.  We'd stand there until the whistle and it was cold.

About a half hour before the whistle some guy comes down with a suit on and asks if we mind in the Governor could squeeze in.  We all looked at each and said " he should have gotten up earlier"

I think it was Bond.

Was this the first "watch list" you were put on?

I grew up in the same town as Kit Bond.  There were 3 strip pits within sight of his house that were loaded with nice bass, but to my knowledge he never wet a line in any of them.  I guess fishing just wasn't his thing.
