    I've officially gotten to the age where walking across ICE makes me feel like a geriatric patient. 🙄 Especially if it's on a slight incline.....which is EVERYWHERE around here. I miss the days when busting my butt was FUNNY !

    Yep, or just go have lunch and come back a bit later👍. Eventually, sometime during the day, those fish will decide to turn-on, and you'll catch one every cast. Remember what time it was.....and if conditions don't change the next day, come back at the same time. I'm not a fan of FFS at all.....but I am definitely a fan of what I have learned by using it. I spent a lot of years thinking that the old saying "They just ain't biting" was a cop out......but nope, it's REAL !

    Tell her to ask her supervisor why INSURANCE is paid ? And if they are considering dropping those polices also ?

    The Float & Fly guides on Dale Hollow are absolutely tearing up the big smallmouth using FFS right now. 20-60 per day, all over 4lbs. 😲 Is anybody doing that on TR or Beaver ?

    You sure it's mud ? Dog turds thaw at the same rate. 😅 The girls gave Orion a pedicure during Christmas break......Let him out to go pee immediately afterwards, and what does he do ? Steps in a pile of his own poop !

    Why, so I could eat fish chunks rolled in stale corn flakes every other Friday ?
  7. fishinwrench
    Agreed. Nothing turns my place into a muddy guagmire like 3+ inches of melted snow. 🙄

    I quit keeping full limits of White bass and Crappie because I don't like spending that much time filleting fish ! It only takes 6 of them to feed my family 👍 and I don't have a church group to try to impress every month.

    Odd thing about gar, there are certain spots on the lake where they are always thick, year round, and for no particular reason that I am aware of. There has to be a reason why they congregate in those little areas.....but whatever that reason is remains a head-scratcher. 🤔 They've been there reliably for 30+ years at least. And yeah, I can verify that sinking brush around a "Gar hole" is a waste of time. 🙄 It would suck to buy a piece of lakefront property, then discover that it is a Gar hole !

    I'll say this......The backend flats, where I do a large portion of my fishing, were way overpopulated with Buffalo and Carp before the bowfishers came along. I think that any species that is as hearty and long-living as Buffalo are, require some form of predation......and the bowfishers definitely took care of the imbalance that was undeniable where I fish 👍 While the piles of rotting carcasses at the boat ramps were a bit disturbing for awhile, there's no denying that SOMETHING had to be done......and bygod they got it done !

    Yep, hell I learned how political Mountain Lions were a couple weeks ago.....And I learned it right here on OAF. 😅 Those bastards should run for state office !

    I have had to stop voicing my personal opinion on Livescope fishing because once you say anything negative about it, a large portion of the fishing community immediately determines that you are an asshole and that you belong in the Randy Blauket category.....and they avoid speaking to you, or bringing their boats in to you for repairs. 🙄 The whole issue has gone political.

    Dang JD, how many people are out over there? I complain all the time about our electric company and how much they hit us all for every month, but I'll give them credit...... Whenever there's an outage they get right on it, and have everyone back on really quickly. No matter how badly the damage was.
  14. fishinwrench
    It is sickening. Practically every boat that comes in for repairs is equipped with FFS. Even little old tin boats with 15-30hp motors, on trailers that I wouldn't trust to go 2 miles down the road with. The only positive side for me is that it lets me know that I can give myself another healthy raise this year without hurting anyone's bank account too bad.

    I know..... that's why SHE is doing it, and not ME. He has a dry flakey skin issue on his backside, and these women just can't tolerate it. Isn't bothering him (or me) at all. 🙄 So they insist on shaving his butt and rubbing coconut oil all over it. I tried to get her to shave MY butt and rub oil on it.....but she just rolled her eyes.
  16. fishinwrench
    Good day to shave a dog's butt 🙄

    When was the last time that generator was started ?
  18. fishinwrench
    We're stocked up and don't need to get out until Thursday, so it can do whatever it wants. 👍 Good time to tie flys and clean all the fly lines.
  19. fishinwrench
    Yeah seriously. In this day & age who is to say that it was a MONKEY?
  20. fishinwrench
    Yeah when I was in Georgia it was very common to see young kids in the bars drinking beer. Nobody seemed to care one bit. Surely they wouldn't serve them whiskey....but who knows.
  21. fishinwrench
    Seeing one running around in the ice & snow All NIGHT would be climatic !
  22. fishinwrench
    Nope, I was too young to buy alcohol then. 😊
  23. fishinwrench
    I had an Indian girlfriend when I was 14, and if she didn't get what she wanted she'd threaten to kill everybody else.... but never HERSELF. My how times have changed !
  24. fishinwrench
    I was too. The Brown Derby Bass Pro Shop in Columbia was owned by a guy named.... Dick Head 😅 They actually had fly tying material and the whole 9 yards. Spent my entire paycheck in there many times.
  25. fishinwrench
    It's done nothing but rain here.....and then freeze. About 1/2" to 3/4" of ice on everything. Limbs and power lines are gonna start falling around here pretty quickly if it doesn't let up soon.
