  1. I like #6 hooks with 1/50oz. eyes....standard leader.... for wading the creeks in the Spring. #4 hooks with 1/40oz. eyes...on a sink-tip....for fishing the flats out of the boat during the rest of the year. 34007-SS Mustad or Mustad 3366 if you don't want a flashy SS hook ( but you have to be careful with BIG FISH because those will bend if you're not careful).
  2. Intentionally looked for a level area that WASN'T a snow drift. Table top on the South side of the house. I bet it's 3' deep on the other side. Gonna be a muddy mess around here in a few days. 🙄
  3. Good grief! I'm eating crow tonight......Been saying for days that " It's going to be too cold to snow that much". Wrong! 🙄 And it's still coming down.🥴
  4. Not to deter anyone.....cuz everyone should do their own thing......but after 4 years of building and fishing articulates, I've quit. For streamers of that category the best producers FOR ME have been nothing more complicated than an extended strip of rabbit fur behind a fat head that pushes water. They suspend better, have plenty of action.....and they get eaten more frequently. Even the revered Game Changer doesn't get eaten as well.....for Me.
  5. You've done a very nice job 👍
  6. He turned me on to that pattern several years ago....... It's a good one ! 👍
  7. They run up the creeks here, usually about the same time that the White bass are due.
  8. Eat two or more.....and you'd be BEGGING FOR IT ! 😂
  9. Looking good, brother ! 👍 You gotta try Olive over Tan with Root beer flash..... Absolute KILLER in clearer water !
  10. Honestly they are a whole different experience. Calling them Chili Dogs just isn't right. There's an aphrodisiac quality that is undeniable!
  11. This is a thing that Sugarbritches did before her & I collided.....and it's one of my favorite meals. So I always get it the day after Valentine's Day 😉 as a confirmation that I did good yesterday 🤗 I sometimes get lucky on Devil Dogs night too.......So wish me luck! 😁
  12. I'm on the verge of loosing my mind.....So sick of this cold weather!!! Plus I'm almost BROKE. Hopefully I can keep the lights on here until the weather breaks......Como is really sticking it in our asses this winter !
  13. The 9/16 among the 10mm's ! 👍
  14. Yeah, it's a sad fact that outboard motors just don't last very long in saltwater. And that's why they don't design their fuel & electrical systems any better. 90% of their sales are coastal...and always have been. Johnson/Evinrude was the only company that designed freshwater specific outboards that would stand the test of time.
  15. As long as you can trade for new ones every couple years they're all fine..... including the Mercs.
  16. Spell check says that's correct 🤷‍♂️ Doesn't look right to me either. 😅 My wife's vacuum is louder than any outboard around 🙄
  17. You mark the gap area, on the insulator, then swap them around until they all seat properly. It's either a total PIA or it works out perfectly the first time. 😅 Typically there is always ONE that gives you fits, and you might have to buy 8-10 spark plugs in order to get 6 installed properly.....and they ain't cheap. And that's why you always suspect THAT whenever only one or two cylinders are underperforming on a FICHT or a G2. Class Dismissed 🎓
  18. Shoulda said "Your mama and daddy did this to me !"
  19. Does she wear them while vacuuming the floor too ?
  20. Highly unlikely. The spark plugs need to be INDEXED on that model (meaning that the gap on all spark plugs must be facing their respective injectors). A fresh set of plugs, INDEXED PROPERLY, would likely cure any lean #1 issue. If I had a potential buyer I would take it off your hands.......But at this particular time I don't. 🤷‍♂️
  21. Nice mess of channel cats ! 👍
  22. I have sampled it cooked on a grill. I would gladly trade it for a Billethead goose fajita.
  23. They cause more problems than they solve. Whether they are drum or disc design.
  24. Kinda sloppy, but should be more durable and sink faster than a muddler head spun with deer hair.
