I and my son recently started fishing and we are looking for a few places close to Joplin we could hit when we don't have time to drive to the lakes south or the Conservations areas to the north.

Thanks Chris

200 + state owned strip pits from Pittsburg to Oswego open to the public.  Tons of bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, and even walleye and trout.
