landscp24 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry about the test, I had to make sure I was getting through lol. My name is Gary and I now am retired to the S E ozarks of Missouri. A small town called Black. (Named after the river) I've been here for three years now and am dissapointed in the fishing lakes so far. For the last 37 years, I was living in Oklahoma, and the fishing there is spectacular. I mainly fish from a tube, and prefer it that way. One thing about Oklahoma, the lakes there have brush and logs in-which to fish. The lakes around here do not, or so I have found so far. They tell me they have long since rotted out. I love to flip, and there is nothing to flip to. Also the lakes are really clear here, and in OK. they were slightly stained. (perfect for sneaking up to flip into) But, thats my problem, I'm sure I'll adapt. Mainly I came on here to say hello to everyone. Now I think I'll head towards bed. Night all Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 9, 2009 Super User Posted March 9, 2009 Welcome, Landscp24! I grew up in extreme Southeast Missouri in the upper section of the Bootheel. There is plenty of dirty water, brush, and vegetation down there. I live in Northwest Missouri now. I looked up Black, Mo, and I see you live West of Johnson Shut-ins. I've never fished that area but there are a number of rivers in a 50 - 100 mile radius from you that contain smallmouth and largemouth bass. I don't know if you do much river fishing but that might be the solution to your fishing problems in that area. You might make a post in the Central Fishing section and someone near that area may be able to point you in the right direction. Again, welcome to our community! Quote
