woodman Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Stumbled on this site looking at a canoe build. I built my first boat last fall. So that's what I have done on the water all this year. Fishing all my life. Brought up fishing below Joplin on the Elk river in the 60's. Indian creek down their now has little traffic. Not so sure about Big sugger creek up by Cyclone. Good memories of trips to these places when I was a kid. Like going to the Little Niangua now, not much traffic their also. Never got into lake fishing. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
Crippled Caddis Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Welcome from another flowing water devotee. Would you be willing to share pics of the boat you built? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in your handiwork.

woodman Posted October 15, 2007 Author Posted October 15, 2007 The site to see my boats is on the photobucket site on my post. These are power boats ,but I am told I am in my second childhood....HA. I have 2 younger sisters who also fish and we were brought up on the water. In 1961 I was water sking at Prarie Lee Lake (KC.MO.)our parents had a 15' wood runabout with a 70hp merc, I was 8 yrs old. This year with the TNT (plans from Glen-l.com)I revisited the lake with my boat after more than 40 yrs, That was quite a feeling. Done a lot of pond fishing but stream fishing is where it is at. I modified a 17' Osageion cuting of the back and making a flat back. put a 28lb thrust trolling motor on and it goes great up short chutes on the Little Niangua. Got bucket seats ,battery tied in the center and my dog a place up front. Heck their is umbrellas on it for the sun mounted to the backs of the seats. Any one ever put in at the bridge (J) Little Ningua and motor up stream ,way up to the concreet low water bridge? Ausome fishing ,big DEEP holes it's lovely, Eagles flying above. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
