I was hoping to have the boat done and a team put together by now but it did not happen.

Good Luck to all that get the chance to go.

Did you get your boat up and running yet? There are still plenty of shoots in Missouri to hit this summer.

Where u from? I'm off I-70 between St. Louis and Columbia and we are going to try and make it to a couple shots here.

 

[Jobow]

I was in Columbia for 10 years but live down in Franklin County now. Are you going to the shoot in Jeff City this weekend?

 

[Tech2008]

No wish I could got plans this weekend. Hoping to make the one on June 8th at mark twain

I live in Montgomery county. Where do u do most of ur bowfishing? We do most of ours on loutre river.

 

[Jobow]

When I lived in Columbia I would hit the creeks dumping into the Mo River, mainly Pershe Creek. Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area was usually pretty good to bank shoot. I moved to Gerald this past late summer and sold my boat when I left Columbia because the rivers are too shallow for a prop down here. I have shot the Loutre several times from the bank. I am without a boat right now and still trying to learn the area. Looking for spots and other folks to shoot with.

What part of loutre do u shoot? Cause we go to Missouri at Herman and hit the loutre from there on the boat so if u would ever wanna meet up and go with just shoot me a message. We are going to try going to the gasconade river this weekend

 

[Jobow]

I have a buddy in Hermann that we would walk the bank just North of Hermann around the MKT bridge and then we would also hit a creek that was East of the grocery store there.

I have always wanted to shoot the Gasconade in Gasconade where it dumps in the the Missouri River... it has to be good there!

I have built several rigs over the years. If you get tired of waiting on him shoot me a message and I can swing down for the day. I lived in Rolla for several years, we use to hit the Gasconade River in Jerome a bit.

Thank You for the offer, I really appreciate it, I said I have everything for the build, I forgot to mention I am waiting on the welder.

My neighbor is like awesome with these projects but he has been busy with his construction business, I hope to get started this weekend.......I really hope

Has anyone ever bowfished on the Meramec around St Clair or Sullivan?
If so how was the Shooting?

 

[Jobow]

I grew up in St. Clair shooting the Meramec. You need a jet pump around that area but it is shootable. Not a lot of big fish but plenty to shoot. Most the the folks that shoot the Meramec go down stream toward Pacific. We would also put in to the Bourbeuse River in Mossell when it dumped into the Meramec (just NorthEast of St. Clair).

The jet is not a problem, I have a 18/56 Alweld with a 150 Merc jet drive,I am about two miles west of the hwy K bridge every weekend, my wife has cattle out that way.
Jobo, when I get it done, let's shoot a few.
