Hey folks,
At the end of the month I have to go to a confrence in Osage Beach. I HATE these things, and intend to attend only long enough to be seen and counted. The hotel is right on the lake, so what I need to know is can I fish from shore? Is there any place that would be better than others? Would I be better off running over to the river and fishing there? Or in the park.
Or is there some place else that I should go instead?

I am pretty sure that I'm not up for renting a boat, and certain that I won't do the guide thing. But I haven't done any fishing for a while, and I really don't want to sit and listen to the same old windbags - whining about the same old stuff.

Any and all suggestions and advice will be appreaciated.

Thanks bunches,
Ed
