So I was always under the impression that we could only use 3 rods a piece to fish on the Mississippi... I was wrong. We can use as many as we would like as long as we have less than 50 hooks and we label rod number 3 and over with our name and address. This is an excerpt from Chapter 6 of the Missouri Wildlife Code: Sport Fishing: Seasons, Methods, Limits, part 3 CSR 10-6.410 Fishing Methods
"(2) Number of Poles and Hooks.
(A) Not more than three (3) unlabeled poles and not more than thirty-three (33) hooks in the aggregate, for any or all methods, may be used by any person at one time.
(B) On the Mississippi River, not more than two (2) unlabeled poles and not more than fifty (50) hooks in the aggregate may be used by any person at one time. While fishing concurrently on the Mississippi River and other Missouri waters, not more than fifty (50) hooks in the aggregate may be used and not more than thirty-three (33) of those hooks may be used in waters other than the Mississippi River."
Just thought I'd throw that out there. I didn't realize this.

Tuesday at Twain
My boss, Joe, and I played hooky from work today and ran up to Mark Twain. Since neither of us have a fishing boat we rented from Indian Creek. The morning was pretty bad. Tornadoes rolled through which forced us back into the harbor. The afternoon wasn't much better but I did manage to catch a nice 12" crappie. With the water up this high and the changing weather they don't know if they want to spawn or not. Guess we'll just have to keep going back!

Fish ON!
Bryan and I (Adam) did some fishing at the regular super secret lakes around town on Sunday afternoon. As you can see from the second picture the females are just about ready to bed. Biggest of the day was 23 inches (Bryan's) and my biggest (above) was 21. Caught around 30-40 in the 11-20 inch range also. We also caught about 15 crappie, a few keepers. Only got one picture of them below.
Air temp : 75
Sunny, no clouds.
Water Color : Gin Clear
Water Temp : Getting There. :)
