  1. Remember what you and I did up here in the upper end the time we took your old glass boat out ? You should be able to do the same thing on the upper Glaize.
  2. I have one on blown 3 cylinder 70 HP in the same year class, it might be a match. 573-569-5406
  3. I know a lot about MT but its all dated mid-80's when it was really good. Bass/Crappie/Walleye fishing was off the charts. Something happened about 1988-89 and from what I can tell it's been nothing but a catfish hole ever since. I haven't heard a good report from up there in YEARS.
  4. I fished the mid-lake clear water today, and it sucked. I really am a lousy deep water fisherman and there is no shallow bite to be had in that area now. I drug C-rigs and piddled around in deep brushpiles until I was totally sick of it, then lit up and ran to some dirtier water and caught 3 good keepers right away.
  5. On the way out of a convenience store recently I (out of habit) held the door for a gal about 8 steps away on her way in. She stopped dead in her tracks and looked at me like she was ready to hit me with pepper spray. I let the door go, shook my head, and headed to my truck, and she then walked on in. I looked in my mirror to see if I had a booger hanging out of my nose or something.... Nope, handsome as ever. That bugged me all day. Screw people!
  6. Where is Bobber ? He used to run a class, but I haven't seen him post in awhile.
  7. That's right. It's always a tad flimsy up there compared to most real bass boat models. What do you reckon they saved....a whole 5 pounds?
  8. Most Fish-N-Ski boats can't handle the weight/torque of a really strong bow mount, so you have to kinda compromise there. They just aren't built that strong in the bow area because hull weight has to be shifted rearward.....full windshields and all.
  9. A 24v with only 48# is kinda weak for a 19' glass boat. I'd trade up for something 24v and 68-70# Keep your oil in Pint bottles, add 1/2pt. of oil then pump 3 gal of fuel at a time. A 50:1 mix is plenty on the heavy side, 80:1 is actually ENOUGH so don't overdo it on the oil. Adding oil slows the burn, creates more heat and lets carbon deposits build up in the combustion chamber. I see more outboards blown from excessive heat and carbon buildup than I do from lack of lubrication.
  10. It's odd that I never picked up on that. I could have gotten some milage out of it. Oh well, prolly for the best. They should name it 4G since they have the best wireless signal in the area.
  11. Yeah I remember. Nowadays I look at a stretch and think....do I really wanna go through all that extra labor just to catch a few extra fish that are probably gonna be dinks? Nah I'll just hit the sweet spots. Laziness rules!
  12. Awesomeness! Aces on the fishin'buddy.
  13. Yeah maybe, but knowing where to be and when to be there will save you a shitton of unproductive casts. Only Rookies wear their arms out for no reason.
  14. The thing I love most about smallies is that they are active on those beautiful days when I want to be out there the most.
  15. They hang around for awhile. Long enough usually. But yeah, eventually they will venture onward. No radio tracking is necessary to figure that one out.
  16. I would totally jinx myself if I made a promise like that. You Da Man, go get'em !
  17. We have to stop cuttin' up and having fun on here We are running the "important folks" away.
  18. I guess I didn't get the memo. How WAS it, and how is it NOW ?
  19. So we all are supposed to act like we want the whole world on here ? Screw that. Start telling people how to act, and dictating when it's OK to speak their mind..... and this place will be as boring as a stamp collection forum.
  20. I don't care how busy I am, I can always find time to get on here and piss somebody off. I post when I poop just like everybody else. And I poop ALOT ! I used to read magazines but I've canceled all my subscriptions just for you guys.
  21. Hell I live 2 minutes from the LO boat ramp and 15-40 minutes from a number of rivers, yet it has been forever since I've spent a whole day fishing. I get in a few hours here and there, just enough to barely stay in the zone. It IS possible to fish too much and start to pick up bad habits. I've noticed that over time my best days are often during times when I'm not fishing alot.
  22. I've had a bunch of both Lowrance and Hummingbird units, and have never had any of them fail from getting wet.
