Welcome Don great place here and lots of info,,,

I just got on here I guess yesterday, wanted to post a tournament to get it advertised and a buddy told me about the site so I figured I'd check it out. I currently live in Meta, Mo but grew up in the Mary's Home/Eugene area. I work in Jeff city as a design draftsman and used to spend pretty much my whole summer pulling garden tractors. I've now sold my tractors and getting into more fishing, I've always done a lot of crappie fishing in the spring on the LOZ. Well anyhow thats me, if you see me around haller and say hi I'm pretty mush alway's up for a conversation if I have the time. I normally tool around in this rig on land

and you can normally see me in this rig on the water :D

So see ya around guy's, and happy fishing.

Hey Everyone.

I'm Bruce aka embo_9.

I started fishing in earnest about 7 or 8 years ago at a friend's fishing "resort" in Wisconsin. That fish is just FULL of crappies. They are a little smaller than down here, but limits are typically not an issue and one doesn't have to go scrounging brush piles, etc. like at Smithville.

Anyway, about a year and a half ago, my wife and I finally broke down and bought a 16' Lund. She's 13 or 14 years old (the boat, not my wife, that'd be illegal not too mention immoral). So now we have a slip up at Smithville and have been trying very hard to figure that lake out. So far, it's lake-100, Bruce and Deanna-2. So any and all advice is greatly appreciated! BTW, we hit the brush piles in Sailboat Cove Sunday to no avail. Another fella caught his limit off the dock. Oh well.

Good fishing everyone!

Love the bass and trying to learn more bout the crappie...but still have to go back to the Idaho for the Steelhead and Salmon runs every year. Getting the hang of the lakes and fishing down here. Mostly at Truman but wanting to spend a little more time at Stockton. You might see me out there with my girl and 2 dogs tagging along, but mostly alone.
