Yeah, if you want to anchor down some shallow brush or make some rock piles and stake beds NOW is the time !

Pffft!

Reed and Busch lakes are free of milfoil?

Is there a problem caused from "invasives" on any other MDC lakes? I've never heard about an issue at any of them.

A club I was in used to score on paper with a point system based on length of the fish. I really thought that was fun. You didn't loose the advantage of catching a big fish since a 20"er was worth more than two 12"ers combined. You were partnered by a draw and you measured and scored your partners fish, then you turned in your partners card at the end of the day. Each angler could score their 10 best fish. When the club decided to join BASS and become a "federated club" they had to quit that method of scoring as a method for qualifying anglers for BASS federated events. That was per BASS Federation rules. Never understood WHY?

Yesterday during the little snowstorm I saw a Robin and a flock of geese headed North. So st lesst in the bird world things must be shaping up.

I'm gonna guess that if they allowed "free-range use" in the areas near the big cities it would be a zoo, then you wouldn't want to be there anyway.

Aww stop braggin'!

Lots of good sense talk there^^^ I try to draw the line on buying fiberglass hulls at 1986 unless I just really get into one of my "restoring a classic" moods. The big 4 were really at their best during the late 80's IMO

The lights look cool. Nice touch! I have too many boat projects to list, but all are on hold until things thaw out a bit.

You could transform those figures into just about anything you own or maintain. I spent enough keeping an old lawnmower running the last few years that I could have hired a lawn service to keep the grass and leaves dealt with, and not lifted a finger myself. Owning a pet is a sizable annual drain as well. Consider a boat as "therapy", or "marriage counseling" and it begins to look like one hell of a bargain.

LOL I had forgotten about that annual event. Surely they won't bust the ice and do it anyway, Right? Sounds like a really good reason to show up drunk!

I reckon if you're gonna NOT draw a check it's important to do it fast.

It's tuff out there for a gangster.

At least the water testers won't be able to blame GEESE this Spring. Those babys are gone, and probably won't come back for awhile.

You must have remembered me in the past saying what a douchebag I think Holschlag is I've quit doggin' on him because the poor dude looks like he is about to croak.

I'm proud of you guys for not knowing, but a little disappointed that you give a s#!t. There are several techy nerds out there that reprogram outboard ECM's, and their cute little word for doing so is "Flash". The claims are "better hole shot through lengthened injector pulse, bumping up of the rev limiter, and a few other things". The assumption is that THEY know more about the engine than the manufacturers do. They don't. If you want a better hole shot and faster top end with your current setup....lose some weight.

I can always recognize a BBC or Scream & Fly regular when they show up here, cuz the word "flashed" is always in the first sentence that comes out of their mouth. It's like their favorite buzzword. "Just lettin' ya know.....it's FLASHED". Pfffft ! I'm afraid the only thing that got "flashed" was your credit card, bro. LOL

No but you can blend color into it with resin pigment. Just stir in the powder until you reach the shade you desire.

Dowel rod and fiberglass resin.

LOL I really hope that goes viral and snaps a decent percentage of those guys back to reality. The bass culture crowd has actually gotten better, but now the Crappie and Catfish group have become ate up with it. And recently I see the the bowfishing guys are taking it up. It's embarrassing.

Are they exempt from paying taxes on that land while it's closed? "They"..... did ya catch that? Sometimes I just crack myself up!

To keep from chewing 12" of thread to shreds? If you have any callouses on your hands it's best to keep them off the thread.

Better to keep water from the lake circulating from the LW pump than to aerate (re-circulate) from within the livewell alone. Ya gotta keep the pee flushed out and a fresh water transfusion happening constantly. Add some ice on really hot days.
