  1. So how is it spelled ? 🤔 Can't even Google it. 😅
  2. In spring fed creeks I consider it natural ENOUGH. And in the tailwaters, where the habitat for native species has been altered...... the stocking of trout is a cool trade-off. The Urban Trout program is about giving city folk something for their 1/8 of a cent tax.
  3. MDC & DNR's mission statement was initially about the preservation of natural resources. And turning Bennett Spring state park into a giant trout hatchery operation in order to stock "Urban Ponds" throughout the winters in this the state, is somebody's pipe dream that needs to be scrapped. There's nothing "natural" about catching trout in a bluegill/bass/catfish pond ! The Urban Trout program is the ONLY reason why they felt the hatchery needed to be expanded in the first place.
  4. You're 10 years ahead of me. I haven't heard one since the early 80's Actually they became rare after my older sister got married, and her last name changed to Lisinski. 😅 He was a genuine good dude, I still resent her for running him off. 🙄
  5. While I worry that the introduction of them is going to be detrimental (and non reversible) to native White bass fisheries......they have become hands-down my favorite flyfishing target. They are also DELICIOUS 😋
  6. In one of our old 8mm films, my dad is working on something and I get right in the middle of what he's doing, he shoves me out of the way, points his finger at me and gives me the riot act (no sound of course), and it's obvious that it was probably the 5th time I had been told to "GET OUT OF THE WAY". I just sat down cross-legged on the ground and pouted 😅 It's my favorite clip of childhood!
  7. Just realized that I haven't heard a Pollock joke in YEARS ! I assume those aren't politically correct anymore. 🤔 Totally unacceptable? Boy oh boy.....The times I've lived through 😊 Are blonde jokes still ok?
  8. If one of these lowers that are in the bone pile, is a match.....and you wanna remove it yourself......consider it yours FOC 😊
  9. Motor is sold 👍
  10. The shift rod coupler is a common fail component. If it "lets go" of the shift rod, then it needs attention.
  11. While the lower is off turn the driveshaft clockwise.....Push or Pull the shift rod to shift (F-N-R) . It will be kinda stiff....and that's ok. 👍 If it doesn't shift then there's a problem inside the gearcase.
  12. Reminded me of this old joke.... A man and a woman are on their honeymoon at a nice resort for a 3 day stay. The resort manager notices the man leave in the morning on the first day and spent the day fishing. He does this for 2 more days, so the manager decides to approach the man and ask "Why aren't you in there having sex with your wife?" "She has gonorrhea" "Oh, well why don't you do oral?" "She has oral herpes" "Well what about Anal?" "She has diarrhea" "So why the hell did you marry her?" "She has worms, and I just LOVE fishing".
  13. Maybe you should warm up to that "ugly" embroidery girl, after all 😉
  14. Gotta ease up there, Holmes ! Were you trying to knock the bottom out of it ? 😅
  15. Judge not, yet thee be judged. Have you forgotten your Christianity ? At least feed her lunch and be sweet to her !
  16. I haven't connected with them yet this Fall. Something seems off. Usually I'm tearing them up around this time of the year, but not THIS year......Yet. 🤷‍♂️
  17. Chasing Whites under a Full moon Sadly the moon was the only thing worth taking a picture of. 🤷‍♂️
  18. Awesome! 👍😊
  19. There's a good reason why folks in this region eliminated all the bears, and we've been perfectly happy ever since we did. 🤷‍♂️ If we could effectively eliminate ticks & chiggers would there be some group of idiots wanting them "re-established" someday ? Probably 🙄
  20. One just passing by occasionally isn't such a big deal..... but one repeatedly going around in circles stirring up a whole creek arm for hours can be annoying as hell. Regardless of what I'm doing I've always tried to avoid disrupting anyone else for more than a few seconds.
  21. NGK's are correct for the Mercs. 6000 RPM is what Mercury recommends..... because their hole shot is typically lacking......(and ONLY because of that)...But I prop for 5500 if the hole shot is good. 6000 is SCREAMING and I'd rather not hear my motor wind up that tight.
  22. My first two were a breeze, they did great, but this current one has "a thing' with being taught to do anything...... she's one of those Learn On My Own types. And I'm like....How many cars, and lives, are you willing to waste before you get it right ? No !!!
