I like them too,I haven't had any since year before last.I used to catch them in the gasconade and beaver creek a tributary to it down home.the early spring was the best time to catch em it seemed like.I used to hit the banks at the low water slabs.You could wad on a night crawler and fish the rootwads and find alot of them.I know of a few nice holes with alot of big rocks where they love to hide too.

i am gonna plan me a float trip on the gasconade. maybe i can get me a skillet full of goggle eye over there.

No problemo,Back home it was a favorite pastime in the spring hittin' the creeks for goggle eye and bluegills.They make some good eatin with taters and hushpuppies.

Wormy fish don't sound very good. Hope you find some wormless fish. lol

Don't sweat the worms, frying kills them...lol
The big and little niangua rivers, meremac, osage, sac or about any other that has current, clean gravel and brush piles will hold goggleye. Most of the major impoundments have them as well if you can find em.(Target brush piles with current).
Used to fish for em every spring soon as the dogwoods started to bloom on the big niangua. Just slaughtered BIG red eyes. Then the giggers kind of got into them heavy one winter and really screwed things up. Have'nt been in several years. Need to go down and check it out again.
