Never insult Missouri fishing. You can bad mouth the football, basketball, and... if you do it carefully... baseball... but God help you if you bad mouth the fishing.

I say that as a joke, but having done some fishing in central Missouri it is great to fish up there. Way back when, before fire was invented, my Grandfather took me up to place in Mizzou to fish... somewhere between Columbia and St. Louis and we had a great trip.

Honestly I enjoy fishing in Missouri, Arkansas, and the Mid-South area to fishing on the coast down in Florida.

For one thing I don't have !&*@ing seagulls and pelicans lurking next to me all day long. And there is very little chance of a shark or gator eating my fish. Both which, I might say, did happen to me when I lived in Florida.
