    Looking into a 3" lift on the new Tahoe as we speak. 😊 I do off-road but the only real reason I need the lift is because my wife will throw a fit if I remove the stupid running boards.

    All of the rivers in the area are suffering the same simply because they are low and haven't had a good rise in awhile to flush out the yuck. It's merely temporary and doesn't effect the overall life in the stream much. They have survived way worse droughts than this in the past.

    The allure of all the powerboats on this lake totally escapes me. There's only a very short window of time when you can open that sucker up..... but nobody does it then because there's nobody out there to impress. So they just rumble around at moderate speeds as if to constantly say "boy if the water was calmer I'd really show you something". Well, when the water is calm there's nobody to show it to, and nowhere to go because every place is closed. So what's the point? ðŸĪ”

    Not likely, there's no prop on it, and I'm 100% sure that will sink like a rock.

    Speaking of PB2.....Do the Bass World Sports organizers (and participants) know that there's a No Wake in effect that weekend, for the Shootout ? No running upstream from the Glaize. ðŸĪ” Maybe if you dump all the otters just below Hurricane deck you can petition to have the Shootout cancelled.

    Why not just relocate them to PB2 like they do everything else? 😂

    I worked really hard trying to find some between the mouth of Indian cr. and the far upper Gravois. No love at all. It just ain't happening up this way.....yet. I may hit the midlake area Saturday and/or Sunday, depending on work, weather, and boat traffic.

    Those things are aliens, I ain't touching them.

    Quit leaving your food set out. When I'm catfishing I clean them and put on ice while waiting for another bite.

    I'm betting that a person could make more money selling vegetables or even lemonade on the roadside than by selling fish. If you're thinking about doing something illegal in order to make some money, you should first consider if it's possible (and easier) to make even more money legally. You can make more money in 1 hour by mowing a lawn than you can by selling fish that it took you 3 days to catch/clean/package. Even if selling fish was legal the guy should be jailed for stupidity.

    That's the white man's answer, hu? I think the real reason is because when a white man sees a black man in a pair of tight trunks it makes him wanna cry (and blindfold his wife).

    Stocker trout patties are pretty good. Foil bake them, then fork out the meat (avoiding that yucky brown stuff, "fat?" that tastes like liver pellets). Mix with Ritz cracker crumbs, chopped celery, lemon pepper seasoning, and an egg or two. Make into patties and fry in a skillet. Lots of protein there.

    Hi! ðŸ•ĩïļâ€â™‚ïļ

    I'm gonna share with ya, my bitchin' mod for those. Take a razor knife and trim about 3/16" off that plastic tube spacer between the blades (bringing the blades to where they overlap some when held upright). Then grab the hook and wire frame and twist it around some until the head can wobble just a bit. (They'll do that on their own after awhile, but I speed up the process). Those two little tweeks, along with adding a Zoom swimming fluke Jr. for a trailer... really REALLY wake that bait up!

    Ya know, you could also use a 3-ring binder and pencil bags. Since it's back-to-school shopping time anyway.
  16. fishinwrench
    You can, the bags are plenty tough enough. But if by chance your wife is in to scrapbooking have her put those cool grommets in them. 👍

    Hobby Lobby has heavy duty ziplock bags that measure about 4-5" square. Put your SB's in the bags then put the bags on a big ring, or a big zip tie to keep them together. Makes it easy to file through them to find the one you want, skirts and trailers stay in good shape, and the blades dont all rub together and get all scratched up. Throw a few extra skirts and/or trailers in with them.

    Most people who "don't know how to swim" will learn how to real quick when the river reaper is on their heels. I had a girlfriend once that learned that way, and then my ex father in-law who had always claimed that his body didn't have natural bouyancy and if he tried to swim he would just sink like a rock. Well he was putting a tarp over a boat and fell in, nobody was there to help him, and at 66 years old he suddenly learned how to swim.

    Been many years for me, but there used to be a reliable population at Buzzards Roost up by Mark Twain lake. If you spent a day there in the Summer you were pretty much guaranteed to see at least one.

    The hell it isn't. We fuss over .002" line diameter differences, line that isn't limp enough, reels that have a 1/3 less spool revolution per handle turn, hooks that come on 18.00 jerkbait aren't good enough, and those split rings! OMG! Boats that only run 60mph are too slow. But you're gonna snug that 278.00 reel on a rod that's built like a lampshade from Dollar General ? GTFOH ! 😂

    I think I'm safe. She's pre-occupied making Mexican White Trash, and her phone just rang. Saved by the Bell ! I'mma keep her distracted until the idea completely slips her mind ðŸĪŦ

    Speaking of design interruptus.... It's been long enough that if I was ever going to warm up to and accept Split Grip rod design it would have happened by now. Absolutely cannot stand it. Everyone else must love it though because it's actually hard to find a rod that isn't built that way.
  25. fishinwrench
    Just because you haven't studied Rod Building to the 10th degree doesn't mean you've lived a sheltered life. Dang, everyone seems so testy and tender with emotion lately. WTF? 😅
