I'm still in. My dad will just meet me at the ramp on Friday night. I took the day off and he took half a day, so hopefully we will be on the water by 8pm. I'll give you a shout when I leave KC. Anything you can think of we need to bring besides fishin'/campin' gear and food?

[fishingbuddy4]

Big MO is gonna stay up for several days and the temp supposed to be pretty nice. Fish'n should be good. Gonna throw some shad around the dykes this week. See if I can't hit one on the head and wake him up! :conc-big:

Where is the best places on th Missouri River to use a throw net for shad??
I have been driving to Smithville Lake to catch mine.

Feeder creeks, and rivers. You can also catch them up along the dikes. I like throwing behind the L dikes.

roughneckcatman,

Crazy is right on target. I've been catching quite a few behind the dykes in calmer water. They have been pretty small but I get quite A few. I'm gonna try a little deeper and let the net go down a little deeper too for some bigger shad.

Good luck!

I am planning on making the sept3 trip.

My shad catches have gone higher with the 8 foot net I got too. The more net in the water the more water you cover. Although in the swift current it's like a parachute.
