    The moss?

    Sounds like you are talking about didymo. It waxes and wanes. Seems like after a real hard period of generation a bunch of it gets knocked loose, but i haven't ever seen it be too bad on the White.
  2. You can use jumper cables in a boat and jump off of your trolling motor batteries in a pinch.
  3. Yellow Bass from the Sabine on a Road Runner
  4. Channel Cat from the Sabine River near Logansport, La.
  5. . My first fish caught in Oklahoma is a decent Largemouth Bass
  6. this White Bass got I the way while I was trying to get a Gizzard Shad
  7. Lol, I bought an Interstate Cranking battery around 2 years ago and it is starting to fail. The previous owner had interstates and they failed after less than a year. I got a pro-rated discount on New interstates and even with a master off switch and meticulous water level maintainence and charging, the new Interstates are failing. So the moral of the story is, you spend your money and take your chances. I'm likely done with Interstate batteries though.
  8. I charge my batteries immediately upon returning. I have a master switch that disconnects the batteries from everything except the battery charger to prevent battery drain. I plug the charger back in the night before a trip just to make sure. I do not and will not leave my batteries on charge all the time.
  9. I fished Nanofil down to 16 degrees. It did fine.
  10. Hey Dave, I'm pretty sure I stumbled onto the video of you guys fishing this year. It was amazing catching, but I wish WD had stopped fishing for a little while and filmed you setting the rig up, making the cast, working the Ned, setting the hook, and winding your fish to the boat. It certainly looked like the two of you were having a good time AND catching a PILE of fish.
  11. I'm sure they are wonderful. I'm not sure they are worth the price. I havent read any reviews. IF I felt like I would get 5 years out of it, I might roll the dice and buy one. Ham
  12. I bet it was wonderful watching the woods come to life though. Did you guys see anything interesting while waiting for the Thunder Chickens?
  13. I'm more than a little jealous of the folks fishing today. Gonna be shorts and flip flops later in the day. Looks like a day made for fishing finesse stuff. The wind is gonna blow a little bit, but don't let it get you down. I'm not hating though. I had my time off and we did our deal. I'll be working for the next few days and honestly don't know when I will get to fish again. I look forward to reading how yall did.
  14. I hope the MRs is able to get one soon.

    Dry run

    I used to take my son when he was under 16. Especially if the water is a little off color you can go with something larger and use 10 lb straight mono as a leader. Long fancy casts aren't necessary and often not possible. Gonna mostly be roll casts. Bring a big freaking net.
  16. No doubt, but as a leader in 6, 8, and 10 lb. its ok. You have to be careful with your knots though.
