I don't think they "sold out". They paid off their lien, and own it free & clear now. It's not changing hands.

You're retarded !

Just to be clear..... I'm not among the ad whiners this time. But for whatever it's worth I appear to be ad free.

I crank the reel with my right hand regardless of whether it's a baitcaster, spinning rig, or fly rod. In my mind that means that the REEL is a right-handed reel. But Noooooo 🤷‍♂️ Just to keep this ON TOPIC.....if you have Bone Cancer it is probably because you fished right-handed all of your life....with a LEFT HANDED reel. So you probably have brain cancer too.

I wouldn't even know who to ask. You're the only person I know of that pole & line fishes for Suckers.

It's not how I comprehend it..... it's how someone else (that probably didn't even fish) comprehended it YEARS AGO, and somehow it has remained the industry standard.

I wasn't whining about how hard it is to move the handle, I just don't get why it is considered Right handed if you are reeling with the LEFT. Fly reels are a bit of a PIA....gotta flip the bearing over, and pull all the backing off.

Don't get me started 🙄 Right-handed baitcasting reels have the handle on the RIGHT SIDE. If you want the handle on the right-side of a spinning reel or fly reel.....ya gotta have a "LEFT-HANDED" reel. Most rediculous thing ever.

You'd think that since they waited 17 years to do that....at least ONE OF THEM would act a little more excited. 🙄 Might as well be doing dishes, or folding laundry.

Odds are that they won't SEE the ads.....but it will take 10-times longer for each page to load. 🙄 I turned the motion sensor off on my high-dollar computerized shop light....and now when I flip the switch there's a 12 second delay before the stupid light comes on. 🤬 So it's either THAT or having the entire yard lit up like a runway for 30 minutes everytime a possum or a cicada crosses the driveway. 🙄

Not bashing it, I just often question the sincerity of it. So much of it seems contradictory. I'd like to understand it. Makes less sense than a "left-handed spinning reel".

There for awhile, in the past, the ads popping up here were totally outer limits. Stuff we weren't even allowed to mention on this forum were popping up as ads. And you "MODERATORS" tried to blame it on my "surfing habits". I kinda took offense to that because I don't surf porn.....and DEFINITELY don't surf kiddie porn. It isn't like that anymore. Or at least it hasn't been like that lately. Most of the ads I see now are at least outdoor related, with a few political pro-BIDEN ads, which are easy to ignore.

DNR? 🤔 Having trouble decoding that one at the moment....but I think I get the message. There are people who claim to be 100% believers, and their days are filled with pain, discomfort, frustration, ect. and they fully realize that their condition has no chance of improvement. Yet every single one of them will undergo multiple miserable treatments, spending YEARS in total misery, stressing out their family beyond belief, while they fight for that very last breath. Personally, if I had genuine faith, like they say they do,...... I'd be anxious to call it quits.

When I hear this kind of thing it raises SO MANY questions. If people truly believed like they pretend to, there wouldn't be such crowded hospitals and doctors offices. If the Lord is all-knowing, then for who's benefit is this charade? I just don't understand.

It was brought to our attention last week, that the last 9 serious offenders in this state were either cops or school teachers/school employees. So whaddya do now ? There seems to also be a run on crooked county commissioners. 🤷‍♂️ Things like this are kept pretty quiet, or at least within the county..... but if you talk to people from all over the state, it appears to be an epidemic. 🤨 These people are ENCOURAGED to carry weapons, and have permission to use them anytime they see fit.

If I was going up there I'd put in at Shell branch......and I wouldn't leave Shell branch. There's plenty of fish right there within a mile of the ramp. And it likely won't be overly crowded.

Initially they are all cream colored, with wings that look like a disco globe. Then a day or two after they have emerged they are greenish on their bellies, black on top, with brownish/orange legs and transparent wings. Yep. Once they have been around awhile they are pale greenish/brown and black. No orange hues at all. And coffee colored wings. What color are the ones around your area ?

I started my business right about the same time that everyone got computers in their homes and got connected to the Internet. It was DIAL UP and it was SLOW... but bygod it connected us all to each other. And made aquiring parts alot easier. I bought up old outboards for next to nothing on eBay, and at estate sales, restored them, and sold them like they were going out of style.....at a very healthy profit. 🤑 Got connected to an antique boating club in Wisconsin and those guys beat a trail back&forth from there to my place every couple weeks, buying up all the old Johnson/Evinrude's that I could get my hands on and fix up like new (literal truckloads of them). What they didn't buy got sold to a pretty famous White River resort in Arkansas that used them to decorate their lodge. If you've been there then you know the one. 😉 Every old outboard you see along their walls came from Yours Truly 😊 and helped me build my little miniature empire. And yes they all RUN, every single one of them. 👍😊

Oh hell YES ! 👍

I bet he was concieved in a tent that weekend. 😁👍 Just think..... Everytime that whistle blows at the dam, some gal is likely frying taters, or getting bred. 😉

One time on the Salt river we were pulled up on a gravel bar, when an old couple in a 14' Richline with a 4hp Scott Attwater came puttin' up the river. We waved, and just as they passed us the old man said.... "Pull the stringer in and hold onto your hat Ma', I'm gonna run it WIDE OPEN !" 😅 As if he was really gonna peel out! You could have gigged frogs at WOT from that rig. 😂

"PIT PAT PIT PUT PUT PUT BWAAAAAAAHH !"

Points, condenser, coil, spark plug, carb kit, and gearcase seals.....Yes. Anything else and you'll likely have to search some boneyards. Will it push anything bigger than a MinnKota 65 will ? No. 😅

This quick & easy little foam fly is getting the job done in the creeks around here.
