  1. I'd love to flyfish that lake! What a Hoot!
  2. Rubber is the new GOLD. Kinda funny that I've been buying complete outboards for less than the cost of one BFG A/T 16" tire.
  3. Isn't it a hoot how a fuel supply hose assembly went from 16.99 to 47.67 almost overnite ? I used to replace them as a complimentary thing, but I can't afford to do THAT anymore.
  4. They used to stock Stripers in LO but stopped sometime in the '80's. Apparently however there IS a bit of natural reproduction going on because I occasionally do catch a juvenile striper. Caught 3 in the Fall of 2012 and thought I was really onto something....NOT. All that I have caught are about this size or smaller.
  5. It is all "combustible fuel". Engines run on it. It goes bad when exposed to air for a period of time. Fuel hoses and rubber components have NEVER lasted forever, and they still don't. ........................................................... Nothing has changed, really.
  6. I like the koozy cup idea. That's a good one.
  7. #2-#3 Mepp's Aglia (waked). 3/16oz. Texas rigged lizard (black). 5/16oz. Brown jig-n-craw (or #11 pork frog). 1/8oz. 3" Curly tailed grub (white). Rapala floating minnow (fished as a top water twitch-bait). 1/4oz. Pop-R. 1/4oz. Black buzzbait. 2 rods- 6' med-lt. Spinning rod w/8# line. 6.5' med pitchin' stick w/14# line. OR: a 8 wt. flyrod, and a box of poppers/sliders/ and muddlers.
  8. Here's a tip that'll really piss your wife off... Steal a pair of her panty hose and cut them into "rings". Perfect !
  9. .... they could practice quicksand and whirlpool rescue also .
  10. Absolutely ! And yeah bring some gear.
  11. Oh that's ALL Mercury, you can thank THEM. Tohatsu only designed/built the powerhead. All these years .....they've learned NOTHING.
  12. I know, I saw a pic of one of them! I was just poking at J. That's freakin' awesome, I'm green w/envy. I wish they'd resume the stocking program on THIS pond.
  13. Make me an offer The count is short a few (not by much though)
  14. The Osage would be perfect.
  15. Good 9.5-35 hp 2-strokes are becoming like pre-Rapala wiggle warts, man. I'm snarfing up every single one I can get my hands on.
  16. Craig, cutting open fuel supply lines and primer bulbs and parading them in front of customers is almost every shops favorite thing to do. Fact is: regardless of the "EPA rated permeation value" stamped on the hose, it is gonna look like that after 6-7 years. LOL Everyone is all about their water pump impellers....but nobody ever gives their fuel lines and Oil injection hoses a thought until one of them starts leaking. They need replacing routinely also. All of them.
  17. Probably a wad of Gar.
  18. Which size reel did you get?
  19. That $#it is all in your head. Those stockers will eat just fine. I know I'd rather be eating some hatchery trout tonite instead of whats in front of me right now.
  20. I'd like to take a stab at that POS, why don't ya drag it up during the White bass run.
  21. Daughters are great! Don't worry guys, they may step out of your world temporarily....but they'll come back around. As hard as it is to do ya gotta let go of the leash from time to time.
  22. This site gives data back to 1997 http://server.odd.net/waterlevel/index.php
  23. Ahh, yep at 648.0 there would have been bare land under the 54 Niangua bridge.
  24. Could that have been the 54 bridge across the Osage river below the dam? No way there would have been dry ground under the Grand Glaze bridge I don't think.
