20 footer. Never been in the salt. (Good question 👍) but has spent some time on the great lakes (Lake Michigan, Erie) It really would be a great rig for chasing Temperate Bass, or big catfish...... But the first thing I would do is pull those front rails off and throw them away.

Taken in on trade. Any interest here? If so I'll post some details once it is all cleaned-up, refreshed and ready.

I have a 15 y/o daughter that is a bit of a "lazy bones". She has been Musked, and required to submit a list of 5 things that she has accomplished this week. So far I've only seen her file her nails, and trash the entire kitchen making some French toast. She'd better step it up ! 🧐

My grandpa used to say that he would never vote for anyone that doesn't have a fishing license in his billfold. 😊 Kit Bond did.....just so ya know.

Not that smoking tobacco does a person any good......But the medical community just LOVES to blame as much as they can on "smoking". Nevermind the hair spray, nail polish & remover, scented candles, auto exhaust, household cleaners, etc. etc. that we are all huffing constantly 🙄 I had a buddy that would immediately run 40' away if I reached for a cigarette.......but I'd stop by his house and he would be out there standing over a burn barrel, stirring & poking it with a stick, while he burned plastic bottles and assorted household trash. 100% a victim of typical brain programming. 🙄

Look at this here lid, and hippers ! 👍 My folks had nursing homes when I was growing up. I spent A LOT of time hanging out, playing checkers, and learning cool stuff from VERY old dudes who's families just didn't come around much anymore. It was sad as hell now that I think about it......but those old dudes lived a long LONG time. Longer than they wanted to, if you really wanna know. 😢

I would rather get bit by four 3lbers than one 12.

And miraculously they worked hard, consumed lots of liquor, ate lots of bacon, seldom washed their hands, never went to the doctor, & lived long 🤔

Yessir 👍 Back when men were Men.....and the sheep were scared !

There's no need to miss them. I only missed them for ONE DAY, and then I decided to never miss them again. I've been all over this state and a neighboring one, chatted with a couple of agents.....and have never had the soles of my footwear inspected.

Felt good, didn't it ? 😊 6" of snow disappeared off the roof of the shop....and not a drop from the gutter downspouts. It actually evaporated! Pretty cool 👍

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).

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. 🙄

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.🥴

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.

You've done a very nice job 👍

He turned me on to that pattern several years ago....... It's a good one ! 👍

They run up the creeks here, usually about the same time that the White bass are due.

Eat two or more.....and you'd be BEGGING FOR IT ! 😂

Looking good, brother ! 👍 You gotta try Olive over Tan with Root beer flash..... Absolute KILLER in clearer water !

Honestly they are a whole different experience. Calling them Chili Dogs just isn't right. There's an aphrodisiac quality that is undeniable!

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! 😁

Como? Our electric company

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 !

The 9/16 among the 10mm's ! 👍
