The contacts in the switch are not heavy enough for 24v. After the switch ages a bit and gets a little corrosion in it they'll heat up bad, and it won't trip the breaker back at the batteries until it melts itself into one of the ground wires....And by that time you pretty much have a fire going on.

Sounds like you had dirty pins. I hardwire my TM (no plug) because I have had that happen several times on plug connections. Also, if your boat is equipped with a 12/24/Charge switch I'd bypass that POS, they have started more boat fires than anything else I know of.

Shut up and post a fish face !

Given your desires the only area worth mentioning is the Niangua(s) above the 5 bridge. Buy property on the Camdenton side. It's a bit crowded...for a reason. If you forgo the "night life" then you open up the whole upper Osage.

They'll go ahead and write you a citation and tell you to hash it out with the judge. Then the judge will inform you that you need an attorney. If you had just paid the fine you'd be 2000.00 ahead.

Well speaking of not saying anything NICE... Why ya gotta drag God into it? He's the biggest breaker of the 10 commandments ever, and would stone all y'all to death for this Ned worship!

Wow! That looks/sounds amazing.

Very cool! You guys smoked'em.

If they are "long" like over 3' then its more than likely regular old black snakes. They have attitude but are harmless.

I was standing mid-riffle and just upstream one started across, and when it noticed me it stopped swimming and the current carried him right into me. I told myself to just freeze and remain cool but panicked at the last second because he looked like he was in position to strike. I swatted at him with my rod (Stupid!) and attempted to high step away, slipped and fell, then recovered and ran to dry ground. Once I turned around the moccasin was nowhere to be found. For a minute I wasn't sure if I had been bitten when I fell or not. I'm not at all scared of snakes but that little episode kinda ruined my day.

I truly don't get the Beetle spin comparison everyone keeps throwing out there. Have you not seen the swimming pool videos ? Lemme see you get a Beetle grub to shimmy and wiggle like THAT ! All I'm waiting for is a BIGGER one. Like 4.5" and as big around as my thumb....then I'm all in.

One of the best for sure. Wayne logged a lot of river miles. Never in a hurry and his mood and tone of voice was always consistent. Ham and Ollie, he always spoke well of you two, and shared some things he learned from you guys with me

Joe, divorce lawyers only become excellent if they always have females for clients.

Our mom's got that saying from watching Bambi. It was Bambi's daddy,..... then mom forced it into your brain from an early age and now you've grown up thinking that is the best method of operation, when in fact it is detrimental to honest and forthright relations. Nothing at all wrong with speaking what you truly think IMO. Sometimes you are swayed, and other times you sway others. This is how we learn BEST.

Just curious about our evolution as anglers if we only said nice positive things to each other. Ahh your not patting me on my back right now so therefore you must hate me ? Bambi's dad was a lousy psychologist, let's not learn too much from him, OK?

Out in the field? I challenge you to find one more that 30' from his truck. Get 100 yards from the closest road and you're "above the law" so to speak.

Yeti's are a fashion statement. Nobody I know "needs one", but if you want one and can afford it, then get ya one. They ARE nice.

So make the dam thing bigger ! Can't they make 3/4" diameter Zinkerz ? Prolly be $5 apiece, but hey....

There ya go! I haven't tried the HT but a Stanley Bull Ribbit is a killer. It is truly a big-fish bait.

Oh I'm sure. Stick a rattle in them.

I've been busy and haven't wet a line in over a week. I'll get back after them in a big way pretty soon though.

Your fish are gay.

That's more like it ! Good job!

Looks like they keep a clean kitchen too.
