Had to read it twice. Lol.

I would rather sweat than be cold. That being said, I don't like either extreme. I know what you meant Ryan. This year has been funky, No doubt. But aren't they all?

I hope the best for you Mitch.

I'm posting this with a heavy heart...😔 As much as I love my fishing, it’s been taking up too much of my time and I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics such as cleaning and maintaining my home, so something has to give.

Thanks for that info. Wrapped all of my questions up.

This is also a perfect time to teach them to remove a couple pieces of trash each as you leave. My kids now act like it's s treasure hunt. One day it's who has the most weight, or the next, who has the most pieces.

Never underestimate worms and a bobber. Get the 6 year old a character pole (princess, Minnie mouse, snoopy etc) and the 12 year old a zebco 33 combo. The one with a little tackle included. Go to any local creek, and bait their hooks the first time explaining that they will do it next time. Let them wade the shallows and throw some rocks. And as was mentioned, when they are done, move on. That's my hardest lesson, but I have a 19, 12, and 9 year old. They each like to fish but not anywhere near as long as I want to.

I have used Stu on a few occasions.

Well said. I would take up wrench on his offer none the less.

Sounds like an excellent day. I would be excited to catch a skate or ray. I really thought it was a ray, have to look up skate. Never heard of that. How did you release the hook? Needle nose I guess. I wouldn't know how to handle such a thing.

That picture is really great. I love the color of that water. The rocks are neat as well.

My experience with raft rentals is they wont let you fish. Hooks and rafts are not great combinations. Don't be so scared of the canoe. You will flip, but you learn the limits. No glass on the rivers.

I received this and am very pleased with it. @liphunterwas as easy to get along with as any one could hope for. Came in super fast, and as described. Great transaction. He even followed up to make sure it was what I was expecting. No surprise from an OAF member, some of the greatest people are on here.

I've really been enjoying 7up and American Honey, or Jim Beam honey. Very good mix.

If only this would be enforced.

Prep is 95% of any paint job. You did great.

I am not well versed in depth finders. If I have nothing on my boat, will this be everything needed? Minus power?

I tent camp on average 30-40 days per year. I am looking forward to VBRO, cabins, rv anything other than a tent and cot/ground.

Count me in.

I have fished with both Jesters, and Johnsfolly. Ironically, both the largest and the smallest fish that I have witnessed being caught were by those two. They are quality guys. I am very grateful for them to show me the things they did.

Never tried it. Looks pretty cool.

Yes, I see the problem.

We are instate at S-F Scout Ranch. Very cool place. And I do have a great group of scouts. We have a large lake with many fish. Yesterday we caught many bluegill, 2 bass, and a black bulkhead catfish. I also taught another dad how to micro fish. He was just as giddy as a kid. @dan hufferd, we do have a Tom D. From Festus. Not sure if it's the sesame guy.

Extra happy father's day to you John. Dan, from the latest consensus, do not use braid on the new reel. That may change tomorrow, but I have it from good sources, it is not advised. Lol. Happy father's day all. I am celebrating by taking 11 scouts to summer camp for the week.
