Went out for 3 hrs 6 to 9 and fished a lil spot on the Mo where a creek runns in targeting flatheads. Bites where soft at first, a few crushed gills. About 1 hr before dark the bite got a lil better. I got a 8 lb flat and missed a good pole bender. Meanwhile my wife on a whim tossed a big gill up into the creek openen up stream a bit on a slip bobber rig in 4 ft of water and be darned if she didnet hook somthen massive on that big live gill. She got it to under the boat and the hook popped out. She suprised me. She gets poed most the time losen a big flatt or Blue . This time she just shrugged. I am worried guys mabe my red head is losen some fire lol.
River contitions where a lil rough in my area its on the rise again goen from 18 back to 22 to 24 ft here. Lota timber on the river due to the aspahlt barge runnen down river today knocked alot of timber loose in the Gasconade area. Reason we headed [email protected] almost dark to many logs on the river to navigate safe in the dark.
Mullberry bite will be done next week but this high water will still make creek mouths prime targets for flats and blues. Be safe out on the Mo guys tight lines and may ya hook a monster.

Troy it's always nice to get out with the wife. I'm starting to get mine to go more and more. She went with me last night gill fishing as I like to get bait for the weekend throughout the week. Bummer on her losing the one at the boat.

Take her gill fishing. Mines all about the catching part too lol. Gill fishing at least where I go gets crazy. On the river though it can be a pain sometimes to keep em happy. I bought her one of those little hand held games to play when it's slow. Well that and my wife drinks like I do so well it doesnt really get boring.

ha ha.....ive been giving her a little zebco 33 with a worm on a j hook that she can hold in her hands/lap. that keeps her busy and when it wears off.....I slap a bobber on it in the current. keeps her completely geeked out because she always has a bite!

when that wears off........well.....probable shouldnt discuss that here!!!
