Hello all, i am New to Missouri just moved here last year, well its been a year now i guess. we moved here from Kansas (SW). i love to Crappie Fish and Hunt and all that.

I'm not familiar with the Columbia area but if you buy a TOPO map of Truman and LOZ you can learn a lot. I fished Truman my first year there with out a graph and found some quality places. If you want you can PM me and I will give you a couple spots to try out.

If you are looking for lakes right around columbia, try finger lakes just north of town also Little Dixxe to the east of ya. If you dont mind traveling then mark twain, or truman and ozarks. If you plan on fishing ozarks best fish from now till first of May and not to return till late sept or oct. Welcome to the board also.

If you're interested in loz come on down and i'll get ya started.I know place's that you can hide from the big boat's with your 14 footer.

I live in Columbia also. We can hook up sometime if you like. There isn't great crappie fishing "close" to Columbia but it is decent.

thanks for the response.

yep i'll take you up on going to LOZ, that would be pretty cool.

Slipfloat, we sure could hook upand go fish somewhere. i have to get this boat done. one of those things that just seem to never end. but im getting closer.

Regarding the Fingers

I got into some poison sumac that forced me to go to the Doctor to get a Steroid Shot. Eyes were nearly swollen shut.
It was spring time when I went up there.
I won't forget the week following that adventure.

i love Finger Lakes, i am a LUCKY man, i can touch poison oak, or ivy and not have a thing go wrong, no blisters marks or anything.

Pisses off my wife, if shes goes out and the wind is blowing and shes downwind of ivy, she'll get it.

i dont know how i dont get it but i dont.
it does look painful.
