The best Sucker area I know of is the long slow 3-5' deep stretch just below HoHumm. Every time I have floated through there I see plenty of bigger than average Suckers. From the old bridge pilings down to the next riffle (about 150-200 yards).

The weather guesser just said that we (as in me...here in Gravi) can expect up to 4" of rain in the next 24 hours. This is really good news for me and my White bass chasing. Y'all can talk all the smack on me ya want to, you'll not put a damper on my lovely Spring. 😋

I always thought it would be a shrewd move for Ameren to lower LO about 14-16' and put all these lakefront homes on second tier .... Then they could resell lakefront property all over again. 🤣

They'll herd a female to the surface and try to knock the eggs out of her, but I've never seen a white get air.

You know what's more boring than spoonbill snagging reports? Your elementary one-liners. 😋

Yep, that was as boring as I anticipated.... but, like an idiot, I DID ask. Thanks. 😅

The worst flooding (most substantial rainfall) we have had here at LO in recent memory have been during October, early December, and on the 4th of July. So why are they only preparing for floods during the Spring ?

There's an experience I've never had.

If so then it's a win/win. Because not only do I not want anyone's spoonbill meat overflow, I also would rather not have to stand there and politely listen to their boring snagging stories. Not even sure why I asked how the snagging was going..... cuz I honestly don't even care. So nevermind. 😎

Is the snagging a little "off" so far? Usually I have a dozen guys by here raving about it and offering to give me buckets full of meat by now. I haven't heard from a single one yet.

Dam operators always "prepare for spring floods" but there aren't anymore Spring floods than there are Winter, Fall, and Summer floods. They aren't preparing for Spring floods, they are using up water during increased power generation times.....but saying that they are "drawing down in preparation for FLOODS" makes them sound all kind and caring. 🙄

I ordered replacement breech seals when I got the piston seals, but so far I haven't needed to replace mine. I dumped a little pile of talcum powder over the breech area and fired the gun ......no leaks, so I'm saving the seals for later. The blue Gamo seal also works on many Crosman/Benji applications....but not all. The overall diameter and the diameter of the inside hole are all you need to verify, if they are the same then your golden. The taper on all seems to be consistent on all makes. Shipping time takes about a MONTH !

Getting better every day.

As long as you don't mind keeping up with the added maintenance it can only increase the value of the place.

Typically Minn Kota makes better motors and control systems, but Motorguide makes better mounts and shafts. If you run alot of rough water, or you are routinely bumping into stuff.....go Motorguide.

You might wanna think again. There's an outfit in Australia (Custom Air Seals) that are making replacement piston seals for most spring and gas ram guns that not only boost your velocity by 50-75fps but also dampen the recoil. They take the original seals that look like this And make replacements that look like this... No idea why manufacturers haven't adopted this seal design (patent infringment maybe?) but I swapped out the ones in my Gamo Swarm and my Benjamin Prowler with the Australian seals and I promise you it is something you definitely wanna do to any break barrel gun you plan on hunting with. Talk about waking up a sleeping lion!

You've kinda lost me but it sounds like a brown wire on the trailer harness is shorted to ground. When damaged wires aren't obvious and easy to find I just replace the whole trailer light harness. It's only 14.00 and once replaced you shouldn't have to worry about it again for another 7 years. When you plugged it in and it sizzled, it likely blew the tail light fuse on the truck.

Do the bees that nest underground make honey underground, or do they do their honey business somewhere else?

As long as you keep serving up Cheerios for breakfast, you're gonna STAY lonely.

A guy trying to diagnose a trailer light problem told me that everytime he probed the wire with his test light it blew the fuse...and he had spent 10.00 in fuses trying to figure out his light problem. Turned out that he was putting the wires against the trailer frame and then poking them. Shorting it to ground everytime. 😏

I'm gonna disagree 😂 I think it's time to piss on the fire and call the dogs..... before something blows up. Had a guy drop a boat off today, and he chocked the wheel on the uphill side. About 10 minutes after he left I heard something that sounded like a herd of deer running across the driveway, looked up and there goes his boat headed to town. Luckily the wheel on the tongue jack hit a tree root and slowed it down long enough for me to catch up to it and get it stopped. I mean WTH? You can't just assume that people have all their tools in the right drawers.

Probably because you used the roach clip first.

Only one 15A fuse protects the tail light circuit on a Chevy. If one tail light works then the fuse is not blown.

It's a wind turbine.

Hook the roach clip to any good clean ground on the truck (frame, bumper, ect). Definitely not on the receiver hitch.... that's the worst ground source ever. Poke one of the lights that ARE working to verify you have a good ground. I don't think you've blown a fuse or BOTH tail lights on the truck would be out. What happens when you hit the blinkers ? You have a bad connection/open circuit somewhere. Probably the easiest place to start tracing back from would be the license plate light. The truck still has a tail light out when the trailer pigtail is unplugged, right ?
