Stockton Boat Lift Saturday

Ran down to State Park Saturday to repair my boat lift, it had a leak and would not stay in the up position. My brother met me there. We were on C dock getting my pontoon started so I could back it off the lift. MO Conservation agent appeared, asked if we were fishing. Nope, just trying to get to the lift to repair it. Talked a bit, he said his boat is at Orleans Trail and his lift has a hole in the metal tank so it will not stay up. He headed on down to the other docks to see if anyone was fishing off the dock.
Dock fishers be aware. First time I have seen a Conservation agent on the docks. Water Patrol yes, his boat is two docks up from C dock.
Just sayin', watch length and limit numbers, have a license if yer not a geezer, common sense stuff that might get overlooked. Don't need the hassle.

Guess you are feeling some better,good to hear. I too have been to ER and on antibiotics and 2nd round of prednisone. Have a good one.

sorry to hear you two have been having that kind of issue. Slows down everything especially the fishing. Hope you are past it.

Yeah it is nice being geezer and not having to buy licenses every year.

Dang!!! Whatever that crud is, IT'S BAD STUFF!!! Hang in there, it'll get better.
Prednisone screwed up my smell and taste abilities. Hope they get back to normal since I finally took the last of it.

Hey Mike, Last April when I was down at the state park cabins we came back in the dark and they were sitting there waiting for us. Check our license and fish. Seen them there both Saturday and Sunday. I am glad they are out there checking. I had one crappie that swallow the jig and died so i kept it. I didn't measure it and they gave me the third degree about keeping it. They told me I should have thrown back in the lake. They measured it and it turned out to be 11 inches so I didn't get in trouble.

Yep, that's what we pay them to do. I'm good with it (used to be a police officer). Just sayin' y'all make sure to live by the rules and avoid the hassle. Those guys are just folks.

I always do never keep short fish or over keeps ya from being in trouble (now beagle) never mind fish on.

They just look at me and smile, there seems to be a soft spot for us mentally challenged ,,,,,

Oh and some one on (I) dock turned in a couple guys for to many and to short. glad to see there on the job.
