Amen, i dont go out to the woods to stand around with 30 other people.

:doh!: I’ll bet you’re the one I’m thinking of. Sorry, no idea how I got you mixed up.

Isn’t the water on opening day usually pretty high?

Honestly, we don't fish in the park that often and definitely not on opening day. We fish in the river and catch plenty of trout without the crowds.

I saw pictures of opening day at Bennett from my buddy and it looked like they were literally shoulder to shoulder, but he said that was the opening horn and they make a big to-do of it. Hopefully it won't be nearly that crowded the whole time. We will be there the day before opening, through March 4. Although I have to make a run to Warrensburg on Saturday to watch my kid sing in some district honor choir, so I am hoping that day is nice and cold and rainy or something, but it will surely be the most picturesque day of the trip.

I don't know the area, I know we will be in the park (that is where all the zones are right?) but not sure if he typically moves out of the park on trips, or stays there the whole time.

Exactly

Right.

That's what I do at Montauk. I park at the farthest downstream parking lot, I hike down to the park barrier wire, and I get in the water there and fish the blue ribbon water down to the next river crossing.

If there's not a trail or a road next to the water, that's where you need to be. :)

Ah, but nobody gets killed your way. I'm the one low on brain cells.

You take that back!

How about for like 10 minutes to where I am good and miserable in the morning and then I'll take the nasty weather with me to Warrensburg and leave it there.

Off topic, but does anyone know if Perry Fosters is still open in Warrensburg? I would drive down there just to eat his BBQ when I flew in for a Chiefs game. That was before he had his little health code violations.

Picked up a 2013 Lund 1875 Crossover XS. Fishing season can't get here soon enough

I went out for 3 hours on Sunday since it got up into the mid 50's. First time I've fished on a wing dike in the Missouri River. Had a few soft bites but nothing caught. I've been studying up on the different type of rigs to use in and around wing dikes. Also got a shipment of shad sides in today, so I'M READY for the next warm day

My father in law is one of the best crappie fisherman in the state and had a stroke in October.

He is left handed and can't use the left side yet, minor use of the leg and one finger so far.


He lives to fish and I can tell he's already hurting. It hurts me to see. I'm working on a way to get him down the hill to his dock.

He will be a very sad panda when the water temp starts creeping up
