    What's Cooking?

    Did 8lbs of rib roast in the oven Chistmas eve. Might be doable in my 24Q stock pot. May require a stove top burner assist occasionally. At least to get to initial temp.

    Dude, sous vide is a great tool for 1-6, but the new 8Q instapot rocks. Glad to have both.

    What's Cooking?

    No peas, black eyed or green in this house. Did a batch of cowboy beans (pintos, chiles & ham hocks, etc) to go with the carnitas next weekend. Currently making jambalaya.
  4. Basic minnow/shad colors work the best. Like Lucky Craft’s Pearl Shad color allot but it is impossible to find these days. Usually fish the LC Slender Pointer (all sizes, but 112 is best) or Mega 110 & 110 JR.
  5. Glenn, I have invited you to float with the WFT before but you declined. Don't dog us for our accumulation of toys & winter camping knowledge. Sleep outside in a tent for the next 3 days and tell us how it works for you.
  6. The vagisil is in aisle 13.

    Played with the new instapot today. Pete will not like, but it turned out a good Carnitas base in about 40 minutes! About 12lbs of pork in that 8qt pot.

    What's Cooking?

    We season vac pac and freeze allot. Throw the frozen block in the pot, it thaws, it cooks, no need to do separately. 135 is too hot for beef. 120 is better, minute a side in hot black iron should hit rare.
  9. The weather is fine. Great canoeing & camping weather and the icicles on the river bluffs can be spectacular. Would be better with more snow.
  10. They still work. I tie mine Billy Westmoreland style on an 1/8oz aspirin head and use a rabbit strip instead of the discontinued pork eels.
  11. Good for you! Several of them out there. Hard to get access at most. Some are wild fish others private stockings.
  12. See folks grabbing suckers on the Current and N. Fork. I don'f fish the Niangua very often, but I'm sure some folks do.
  13. Buffalo has a 10hp limit so forget about the jet boats. You will need to check the level on the USGS gauge at Harriet to see if you have enough flow. There are not many springs on the Buffalo, so its highly rain dependent. Good luck.
  14. Missouri raises allot more cows, corn, & beans than it used to and it seems to have a significant effect.
  15. Tax refund time is coming up in a month or so...Best time to sell boats, campers, and other toys.
  16. Could measure my paddle jon if it helps. Picked it up from a board member. There is some good pictures and information in his buy sell posting.
  17. Don't say "fanny pack" to a Brit, totally different meaning over there.
  18. Never get anything fishing related. Long passed the big aquisition phase. The kids got some new mid level spin rods.

    Sucker Eggs?

    I'm sure that a trout will eat it. Not sure how you would keep it on the hook. Might have to tie it in a row bag like they do for steelhead.
  20. The Benjamin is quiet. A thunk then a smack. Not as much noise as a nail gun.
  21. Got to shooting today. Gals ran through a couple hundred @ 25 yards. Hit constantly. They did well!

    What's Cooking?

    Did not bother with pics, been cooking all weekend. Rib Roast, turkeys, pancakes, lots of sides. Gotta work in the AM. Will be a nice break. Leftovers surprise should be good.

    Jerkbait setup

    Mega 110's go nose down others suspend horizontally. It does make a difference sometimes. Like flat suspenders mostly. 8 baits should cover spectrum.

    Jerkbait setup

    Mostly fish Megabass or Lucky Crafts, Duo Realis makes some nice baits, as does Evergreen. Smithwick Rogues and the old Excalibur XS4's are good too. Never have done well with the McSticks or RC STX baits. Mostly on spinning tackle with 2lb diameter suffix braid and a 8-12lb leader, 8lb mono if below freezing.
  25. My neighbors don't care about what we do. I don't care about what they do. All is well. No pool time or BBQ for you if you piss of the Queen.
