  1. Not what I was thinking. Familiar, but not sure.
  2. I'm thinking Jimmy LaFarve has a version of this song that Willie sung. I'll hold my answer to give others time, and I may be wrong, and if so, I'll own up to it.
  3. No hatch in Festus, but about 5-10 miles south in DeSoto, I see many reports.
  4. Santee Rig would be my guess. I wanna get back to catfishing. Been quite a long time.
  5. I hear what you are saying. I run/ran my own insurance agency, but, I just can't make it om that alone. I am 90% out of the game, working a 40 m-f job, and loving the stress free lifestyle myself. I'm not gonna be rich, but I'm happy again.
  6. We get just enough to keep things green. Creeks and rivers are way low . It's beginning to seem normal.
  7. I sincerely hope anyone affected is able to recover.
  8. Somehow, it seems common to skip the original source of the problem. The original domino, that if left alone, would have kept the whole structure together. Your day to day work has taught you to look for that, and that's what we as a society could use. Unfortunately problem solving is no longer taught in schools, truly. My kids are taught how to test and score well. I have spent a lot of time teaching my kids and scouts how to problem solve. It makes life much easier.
  9. Can someone who watched or knows about the situation give us the Cliff Notes version? I really don't want to watch 55 minutes of trial. Thanks.
  10. I believe those who feel this way, are the ones who will be long term in the hobby. Then ones who jump in for glory seem to fade quickly. Exceptions to every rule, of course.
  11. This would be a great option for those who want to tow a boat and a camper. Too bad there isn't a mini van conversion option. Post it on FB, and I'll share it.
  12. I'm saddened by the thought of no more BilletHead and Mrs adventures. But grateful for the ones you all took us on.
  13. How are you? Glad to see you still peeking in.
  14. He was referring to the Indian as the human drawing the bow. It's the bow, not the operator.
  15. He lives in my town, but I don't know him. Them bighead and silvers have really taken over my local ditch, and I'm not happy about it. I bought a bow fishing rig, but haven't been able to get out to use it properly.
  16. We had no doubt. That is what most of us appreciate about ya.
  17. Awful nice of you.
  18. Here is what I'm converting to be my micro fishing kit. Not in the European use of the word kit, but an actual all in one type of bundle. Soda can for size reference. It all fits into a belt pack, and can be easily transported into the woods, to find the small waters that hold smaller fish, that nobody ever fished. The extending net handle stays in the tackle box above the micro rod. See the rod? Its in the black velvet ink pen case.. I can comfortably and easily touch the ground with my net. It should be able to scoop the lunkers out with ease. here you see my micro rod. It is a Frankenstein of Tenkara rods that have been cut down. The length extended is about 4 feet. I hope to put this kit to use over the weekend and report back.
  19. That's almost exactly what I did. I will try to remember to take a picture this evening of my setup When you catch some of these, they wiggle ad shake so violently, they get off before you can grab them. They drop in tbe water and you weren't able to positively identify them. A net would be a bit of insurance.
  20. Although these lunkers are micro, the aquarium nets that I've seen are still pretty small. You stil have to reach out to the end of your rod and lime to scoop them. The length of handle makes a difference as well as the opening of the net. The ultra fine mesh makes it hard to swipe the water also. I'll post pictures of my adapted net.
  21. When the kids are smiling, the day was good.
  22. Did the corned beef and cabbage thing. I was actually pretty impressed, it came out very tender. I don't believe I have any Irish descendents, so added a German flair of a Bavarian pretzel. Somewhere along the line I have German history. Or so I'm told. All I know, is I'm St Louisan. Side note. Did you know, you dont have ro wait until 50 to join AARP? We saved a good amount on an upcoming cruise and on airline tickets.
  23. For anyone interested. I seen a post on Facebook where someone used a tennis racket to make a fishing net. It looked great. I also have had many times the micros fell back into the water while fumbling with them. I am working to create a net for micros with a badminton racket. I do have a homeade job that extends like an old car antenna. Haven't put it to trials yet.
