I loved the Jan. 24 One Cast. "It's sleeting, we've had 3 or 4 inches of snow, the wind is blowing, I can't see. I'm the only one on the lake believe it or not." Kudos for getting out there. The white bite was good.

Awesome will definitely check it out. Back in the day our ABC station was KAIT Jonesboro I enjoyed watching Outdoors in the Delta, as well as Ozark Outdoors with Crowbar and Jason.

I can relate. My longtime coworker retired & moved up to the Big Smoke (as he calls it) up by St. Louis. He complained that he couldn't find the brand of corn bread we use to make our award-winning Mexican cornbread. I purchased five boxes, boxed them up to ship them USPS 170 miles due north to him. They went to Cape, then to St. Louis, then to Georgia, Alabama, then to parts unknown. I requested tracking for it. Six months later I received an email stating they could not locate the package & the tracking had expired. I remember thinking what if this had been something important.

Good information Bill. I can definitely see where that might be the case. In my experience we pretty well have just fished structure that we knew. Sometimes we catch em sometimes we don't. I've never been one for trolling or fishing open water much but can see where that might be something to consider.

Kudos. Nice to hear these days. It is interesting to hear how often fish are suspended in open water. Water looks nice & calm too. Thanks for sharing.

Well I carefully sprayed the parts cleaner, blew it dry, the sprayed on the silicone lubricant. When I went to hook the battery back up it tries to start without turning the key. Have to leave the battery disconnected. Never seen this before.

Good to know, hope that works on mine. The battery voltage is 12.4

I did re-read the posts and noted this. The starter is only a year & half old so I hope it's not #2. I will try option 3 first seems like the easiest. And check the battery connections. Thanks Wrench

Before asking Wrench for help I searched for a similar post....I am having the same issue with the starter on my 2000 25 hp Mercury/Tracker. I was wondering what lube did you use and did you remove the starter or just spray it on while on the motor?

Good point. I would have no problem sitting out on the farm if there were no boats. I did see a nice buck following a couple of does along the bank.

I have to admit deer season opening weekend is my favorite weekend to go fishing. Went fishing on Wapp, in addition to the nice temperatures probably didn't see four other boats on the water, none close to us. Far cry from the parking lot being almost full when we get there and boats surrounding us or running up and down the lake all day.

Sorry I'm not much of a fly fisherman so I can't add anything. I thought it might be a thread about old girlfriends. Still interesting though....

Agree completely...Won't leave home without it. That "completely random" attack by that nut on that couple while hiking at Devil's Den was the last straw for me.

Yum! I bet that was fun (and tasty). What a larapin leftover fish sandwich that would make with some pickles and vidalia onion. Hard to imagine catching bluegills 25' deep.
