out of state fisher people

met a couple nice guys and couple nice gals from kansas, I was loading up at the ramp and leg cramped, mr helped me out of the boat, the people who are suppose to push the ramp down havent and it is a bummer transfering from boat to ramp. anyway, I was talking to them and they said I dont want to know your secret spot but could you help a man out and give an Idea where to fish, so I said let's move over and clear the ramp. we did.

well I start telling him where I fished, what I was using,doing,and so forth, told him the exact spot. right down to the tree. well while I was telling him a couple from wisconsin,was lurking by, come on over says I, so now I am telling them what I have learned the last few days, well get in the truck and ready to leave and this guy comes over and says your quite a guy. man that was nice of you.

Now I told you that to tell you this. wasnt bragging on myself on purpose, but did want to share never did like folks saying them yankees come down here and catch all our fish. or man what them yanks doing down here catching all our fish, I have noticed most every good crappie fisherman on this site will share there knowledge on here or at the ramp, (getting hokey) and are glad to do so. DONE

You are what CDC is all about Michael; helping folks out with how-to's and info. Good story, thanks for sharing:)

You got my vote Beagle. I think the MO boys on this site are very good about helping out.

I think that's mighty nice of you Beagle:cool: A couple of guys or gals aren't going to put a dent in the Crappie population. (but YOU sure do):D

I was just thinking out loud, I was reading another page today and some folks were complaning about out of state people fishing out there lakes, and I just wanted all the folks that come to the mo. board and read our stuff that if you see us at the ramp start up a conservation. we might learn somthing from you. I got the next 3 days off think I will go to bed early, sleep late, and get up and watch the grass grow.

You Are The One And Only Please Don't Change You Old Fart

That was really good of you Beagle, those folks will go home and speak really highly of our State, unlike your excursion to KS last year (NOT BASHING KANSAS, But, it only takes one or two bad apples to spoil the whole bunch).
I'm sure allot of us here on MO CDC would do the same.

Well, I know the reason Badaxed, Abby the Wonderdog & I am going to visit your great state and fish a tad (a lot we hope) is because of the wonderful, warm greetings he has experienced at Truman in the past. Badaxed has traveled and fished in many states & Canada (states to remain unnamed) & he specifically states that he felt right at home in MO. Ya'll have welcomed us to your board, invited us to Crappie camp and opened the flood gates of information to help these rookie crappie fisher people (not crappie fisher people yet).

Hopefully we can catch a few to contribute to the Crappie Camp larder and bring back a few for our family to enjoy here in WI.

Just a long winded THANK YOU to the great people on this board and really excited about meeting as many of you as we can & hopefully we will be the kind of fisher people (wannabes) that you would want to visit again.

See ya all soon and Thanks again!!!

thats what i was trying to say, it's not me it's all of us, I know I have been other places and it takes the fun out of me when i ask how the fishin and any ideas where to fish, and they reply yea in the water, oh well better to lead by example than follow a poop trail

I am going to need that information beagle, what tree?

LOL!!!!! I haven't met anyone on this site that has made me feel like an intruder. I only fish there 3 days a year and not looking to take a freezer load, just a few for pictures and a fish fry!

I think you hit that one right on the head. I am still a newbie on the site and not really considered a local but I have never been turned down for information or scorned for my opinion. It is the members that make the site what it is, an outstanding fishing resource!
