    Looks like a place to come back to again. Great water there. I helped a young boy with his fishing gear to day . No father, out with his mother fishing the Halifax River , Daytona Beach. Fixed him a fish finder rig and helped with bating his hook. We caught some nice Mangrove Snapper and watched Dolphins go after there dinner . A really good day , nice to help out a young man . Tom Daytona Beach, FL.

    Live in Ms. but went to college in the Ozarks for 4 years and my second year some locals took me small mouth fishing on the James River . It was love at first bite. Have gone back a few time but not near enough . If I had another life to live I’d either move to North Arkansas or Kentucky . I 40 years latter and I still dream about these gorgeous rivers that cut through those rocky hills. Strawberry, 11points, Current, Spring River and others . And they are all rich with smallies if there’s a good current .

    Considering the regular content on your channel, you'd be ~amazed~ at how much beauty you'd see and how much fun you'd have if you took a trip lasting several days just to explore further up in to Missouri and more of the OSRW and backwater creeks and oh my. You'd love it.

    That 1st spot in the beginning is a place I love to fish! It gets super busy with swimmers when its hot. We put our kayaks in there and float about 6 miles down to another part of the river that has public access with a ramp. Good fishing for smallies and goggle eye. Wish I would have seen you there to say hi!

Its like 157 miles long and 45+ - in a straight line, start to finish. It dumps into the Meramec River south of Union, MO. Very good Smallmouth fishing from Mill Rock access on up river. Mill Rock Conservation area is beautiful, and open to the public to fish. You should try it. I enjoy your videos.

    Also if you get a chance to head back around here. Southern Missouri and northeast Arkansas. Fourche river around middlebrook Arkansas would make a great vedio. Smaller river has big nice smallmouths but you will catch all sizes. On a regular day you can catch like 50. Really a unfinished relief river. Down the road is eleven point. the southern part of those spots it's where the big small mouths are in that river. around Dalton Arkansas to Pocahontas Arkansas. Great place to kayak fish.
