Jerry & Darryl, Just from reading your post's you guy's seem to be a couple of great ambassodor's for our sport,i have never hired a guide before but if i ever do it would be one of you.It is plain to see you guy's can fish and are not arfaid to share your knowledge and your honeyhole's,people seem to be afraid to share their brushpiles,stakebeds etc and i dont know why if someone here on lake of the ozarks is new to crappie fishing and wants to learn to catch a few i will take them and show em a few spots so they too can catch fish next time out,that to me is a better feeling that hogging all my spots.But on the otherhand those guy's that fish alot and never build cover and want to follow you around with a gps all the time is damn aggrevating i wish everyone would spend a little more time building cover instead of looking for it,that would make for better fishing on all lakes.If i ever get down your way i'll give you a yell to see how those ark slabs are doing.
