When a fish blows water in your face do you swipe them off on your shirt, or do you take 10 minutes to find your little bottle of cleaner and special sliver of cheesecloth?

Shad. They are everywhere. Deep, shallow, and in-between. A cast anywhere will be in the vicinity of shad. There's just too much lake, my arms, and my time on Earth, can't take it. I kinda think that the measure of a good fisherman is in how few casts it takes.

The way I always understood "polarization" was that layers of tiny scratches in opposing directions is what "kills the glare" and allows you to see into the water better. Therefore any optic that appears crystal clear is not going to be as effective at that. Matter of fact, the more "hazy" they seem (within reason) the better. Now someone tell me how FOS I am. 😎

Naw that wasn't me, it's that crazyass OldPlug that says that all the time. I try to already have a boatload and am headed for home by then. I have a curfew so if I'm not home before the street lights come on my phone starts exploding.

A wildlife design specialist maybe. If it was up to her all critters would sport ribbons, bows, and other forms of body art jewelry. "That possum would look alot prettier with earrings and some eye shadow".

My youngest insists on painting her initials, or a peace sign, or something on every one that passes through our yard. I'm not too wild about that idea, but it has taught me something.... We never see the same one twice. 🤔

If they dammed the lower end near the mouth you'd still have plenty of river above the lake. And it would take a lot of pressure off the river, and relieve some pressure from the other lakes. Our lakes are too crowded. We either need more lakes, or less people. Plus more hydropower would be a good thing.

The old crews that controlled Bagnell and Truman during that time, they handled that like a boss. The newer generation of decision makers at those places haven't figured it out yet. Hopefully they will before their retirement so we don't have to suffer through another long period of stupidity like we are currently.

I wish I knew how to catch them before they move onto the shallow flats, but so far, for me, that has proven to be about as successful as playing horse shoes blindfolded. Once they put 1/4 to 1/2 mile between themselves and deep water then the odds of me loading the boat increase dramatically.

Now we're talkin'! 👍 My freezer is empty because of a lousy Spring run. I need to get out there and try to find some Whites.

You need to put up some Please don't feed the Otters signs before that ceases to be cute.

The poor old gals rear end looks a bit tired. Wonder why?

Is that stringer tethered to a dock ? I've seen turtles do the same.

I'm not too sure that it isn't easier to keep nightcrawlers alive.

There must not be many out there, or if there is they are flawless. I've never had one brought in, and have never installed one.

My neighbor claims his is registered with FAA and all that BS,. He has a number (sticker) on it that is supposedly his FAA#.

Awhile back my wife asked if I had gotten the mail yet and I said no but I'll go get it now. On the way out to the mailbox I looked up the road and thought "wonder if those blackberry's up the road are about ready yet", so I mosey up there (about 100 yards) to take a look. Got to thinking about something and just kept walking right past the blackberry patch. A guy I know came driving down the road, stopped, and we sat there BS'ing for 15-20 minutes, then I started moseying back home. I walk in the door, start making a sandwich, and my wife says "no mail"? I said, Oh crap I dunno I forgot to check. She says well I saw you walk out there! I said, yeah I walked up to see if the blackberry's were ripe yet and spaced off checking the mail. She says, well were they? I said ....hmmm I dunno I forgot to look. She says well what the hell did you do? I said I ran into Rob, was up there talking to him and got sidetracked. She says, "Side-tracked hu? Let me see your eyes!" 😀

😀 My neighbor lost his first one (a cheapie) early this Spring in the woods on another person's property. He went to their door to see if he could get permission to go look for it, but the fella he talked to said "Nope". He did take his name and phone number though, and told my neighbor that if he ran across it while hunting this Fall he'd give him a call. Said the ticks were too thick down there to go looking any sooner. 😄

I've known a bunch of people that have been busted for possession of pot, and none of them quit smoking it afterwards. Not a single one has said "Dang, guess I can't be getting high anymore". 🙄 Courts seem overly full, and lawyers have more cases than they even want. Makes me wonder what the point of actively seeking out someone smoking a joint in the middle of the woods could be. Not enough real crime in the world yet I suppose.

Oh Hey,. If you have a Save-A-Lot near you they have a brand called Morning Delight (or something like that) back in the bisquit cooler. They put Pillsbury and all the others to shame. My wife will only make one roll at a time because she knows I will hurt myself if there are more available.

Shouldn't a little more time pass before another controversy gets brought up? Hell we didn't even solve anything with the last one. I refuse to operate like MDC and start new projects before even knowing which direction the old ones are going.

Are they getting complaints about that or something? Far as I know, reefer smokers are pretty friendly and peaceful, seldom (if ever) cause any problems. I hate it when LEO's can't find anyone causing trouble so they go looking to create some. They should just go have a donut or something until a valid complaint is filed.

Once these inflate, how long do they stay inflated for?

Pooped my pants on the way to the ramp, then had a trailer wheel bearing fail on the way home to change clothes.

I've actually seen the bird houses, and if I owned one I wouldn't let just any old nastyass bird live in it. It would have to be a very Regal Buurd.
