Ok guys, I live about 10mins from the lock and dam at winfield, mo. I've been at my house for going on 6 years and I hate being so close to essentially public land... ie it's water in this case I want to use it. I moved back to MO from MT and MT spoiled me bad with all their nat. forest etc. Moving back to MO i haven't gotton back inot hunting as it's just to dang much of a hassle.
So here I am, right off the mississippi and I wanna start getting on it. What should I be lookin for? I'm not sure I want a jon boat but if I did go that route I'm not sure I'd feel safe with anything less than 16' and as wide as possible...
I've been thinking of trying to find an old alumninum starcraft. But I'm just fishing for ideas here. I have no idea as to how to fish the mississippi. Was up in clarksvile and seen some boats behind L&D #25 and conservation dept said they were likely walleye fishing...
Anyways. i'm not much of a catfisherman kinda guy.. I like fishing just not much for the taste of them. Pretty much all others are game to bread and fry up.
Well sorry for the longwinded intro. But if there are some other Eastern MO guys or STL guys around I'd like to especially hear what you all think.
MY budget is gonna be like 4Kish or so
