I agree! I have had debates about how much $$$ the govt spends on channelizing the MO compared to the very few barges that use it. Think how much wasted $ especially when most stuff is trucked or...

fished smithville fri, sat and mon... I would have figured it was gonna be pretty good last nite, 5-13, boy was I wrong. Caught limits both friday and sat in tough conditions and with the nice warm...

Nice job... I didn't buy a turkey tag this year just trying to get my little girl on her first one. It would make me happier if she could kill even a jake than if I killed a 26 lb, 2inch spur...

Wow I would have never consider the shad theroy. Thx Mofish
