So I live in Mid Missouri near Columbia. I was wondering if there was anyone in the area that has fished this part of the river or near this part of the river for Smallies? I am wanting to take the boat out and try it in the next week or two and would like to hear if any others have had experience with it.

hey whats up i see that your a daiwa guy, welcome to the best tackle brand in the world

_{Welcome, from a fellow Missourian! I live in Columbia, but I have virtually no experience fishing the Missouri.}

I agree, I have fished Diawa for the last 7 or 8 years and love everything about them. Their rods and reels have never failed me(tough a buddy did shut 5 of my Light and Tough series rods in the tailgate a few years back.) I have been converting my friends over to them for years.

daiwa makes the best fishing gear, they are also the most advance technology tackle but people dont know alot because they dont advertise their product enough and that hurts their sales  

What makes them better than the others may I ask?

Are you thinking about fishing one of the streams that run into the Missouri or the river itself? I've never heard of smallmouths being in the Missouri River that far south but maybe I'm missing something. As far as I know, you'd have to go to Nebraska to get into any smallmouths in the Missouri River.

Do you know of any good streams off of the Misouri to catch some quality smallies? I was thinking of running to the Gasconade River because I have heard of smallies in that body of water.

Considering your location, I was going to mention the gasconade. Its one of the better smallmouth rivers in the state.
