New to this forum, not to the Ozarks. Grew up fishing the Little Sac, Little Niangua, James River, Taneycomo, Table Rock and Bull Shoals. My career took me from the Ozarks for just over 21 years. Now, as I'm close at retiring, I'm hoping to get some inside information for fishing. I plan on spending a lot of time on the water after retirement in my Grandpa's old boat that I'm restoring. Looking forward to the conversations.

I hope you find your return to those waters to be as good or better than you remember!

Thank you! Many times I'd come back on leave over the years and can say that I was happy. Mostly went for trout, crappie, or white bass with the occasional walleye or catfish for good measure. I'm now reading up on small mouths as our home is nearer to rivers like the Meremac and Piney.

Let's see that old boat!   😊

Yes, I'm interested in seeing it, as well as progress.

Thank you all for the welcome. Here's the 1965 RichLine, work on it is going slow as I'm mostly getting after it every other weekend or so. If you fished Lake Stockton, Beaver or some of the other areas in the Ozarks from 1970 through 1999, this boat was blue and the guy in overalls driving it was my Pappaw. The wife, kids and I were able to get the trailer updated with new lights, wires, paint, jack and spare tire rack. Got the transom out last weekend, will get it back on in July as well as get the outside sealed and repainted.
