Fish porn... I love it when they are big enough to get on top. or Fish porn... it'll make you wet.

Gator, When you drain the block always take a piece of wire or something and keep the hole clear while it's draining. Rust and scale sometimes blocks the pitcocks entirely.

Hookups with Drum seem to happen all the time when I'm bass fishing or chasing whites, but I bet if I went out specifically targeting Drum I'd get skunked more times than not. The L.O. area biologist reported to the local newspaper that Drum have been feeding heavily on Zebra mussels and alot of people around here are now thinking that "Drum will solve the ZM problem". I did some quick research on that and learned that because of the slow digestion of such a diet a fish could literally starve to death with a consisent belly full of them. The biologist failed to mention that in the published report, I guess he just wanted to say something to cheer up the folks that are all stressed out about the Zebras. Then again, the ommision of that tidbit might have been at the discretion of the editor... who happens to own property here and typically avoids printing anything that could be percieved as "bad news" regarding the lake area. Nevertheless, whenever someone mentions the Zebra mussels now, there's always someone within earshot that says "oh but they'll be gone soon... Drum are eating all of them"

Nice ! Boy you stuck her perfect too. Let's talk about that streamer Fur strip or marabou ?

Larry's is open Fridays-Mondays during the Winter.

Noway ! That's cheatin'

J.N. is a super cool guy and definately knows his business here on L.O., as well as all the other ponds. It's like pulling teeth to get him on a stream though

Bill, pull your prop and thrust washer, I bet you picked up some fishing line and cut the prop shaft seal, either that or whoever lubed it forgot to replace the drain screw gasket(s). Way too early for a seal to fail on its own. Your lucky you caught it before it busted the housing.

I give mine a bath in Dawn dish soap and wipe it dry...that's it. Then when they start to get old and close to retirement age I wipe it with a piece of felt moistened with Silicote reel lube (white silicone grease), that adds new life to an old line for 4-5 more trips (even if they are starting to show cracks).

Well thanks, Mitch But I'm wagering that neither of those well suited gentlemen are currently plagued with boating problems

Hi Lee, Will do. Being from Richland do you know former Charger boats owner "Bob Cox" ? Is the Charger plant still up and running ?

LMAO ! Been there/Done that My smoke detectors are interlinked, so when one starts chirping they ALL chirp...but not at the same time and in no particular sequence. I live exactly 16 miles from the nearest Wal-Mart, so I have to either go get six 9 volt batterys at the corner store and pay tourist prices for them... and change them all out. OR run around sticking them all to my tongue to see which one bites the least and then swap it out with one from the weather radio, OR throw the breaker and pull all the batterys to disable the whole system (not an option). The worst part is that I can NEVER remember to pick up batterys when I'm out running around... then I come home, walk in the door.... Beep ! My daughter also has a haunted stuffed animal that starts this creepy song all on it's own...then stops when you get close to her room. If I ever figure out which one of those cute little poltergiests is doing that I'm gonna throw it out in the driveway and run over it with the truck. It gives me "Chuckie" flashbacks.

You ain't woofin' If you ever get to feeling like nobody cares about you... just miss a payment.

Aww Man, Y'all are the best, seriously. I've got plenty to be thankful for, I'm healthy, I've got good friends, and there's fish to be caught. To hell with some stupid money ! Thanks for the attitude adjustment, Ronnie.

This coming year I think I'll slip into a level of debt and poverty that I've never sampled before...just for kicks, and just so I can say "I've been there". Should be an interesting year.

Well, it wouldn't suprise me to have a few of them in the family too.

Hell Chief, there's a dead indian in everyones family. Death certificate ? Hmm, They didn't give us one at "the ceremony", but if I can produce one do I get that govenment check ?

....unless an Indian gives it to you

During the Winter C&R in the trout parks a #16-18 Trout Crack in "Dead Orange" is absolutely deadly. Plus in clear water you can sight fish it easily, no need to fuss with a dropper rig. Go get'um ! And if you happen to run across any big blue plastic pipes...shove a log, dead muskrat, or whatever is handy in it

Leo, I've yet to discover one that produces better than the following two... Wilson's Trout Crack [/url TMC 2487 #14-18 Thread: clear mono Underbody: Sow scud dubbing (.041tan, lt.olive, orange)dub from front to back Shellback: brown D-rib lashed on top and trimmed. Pregnant scud TMC 2487 #12 6/0 tan uni-thread Tail: tuft of sow scud dubbing (lt.sowbug) Shellback: 1/8in. scud back (tan) Body: Sow-Scud dubbing(lt.sowbug )dub from front to back. Egg sack: Sow-Scud (dead orange) Rib: tying thread As for using them as a dropper fly...I don't. I fish them tightline with either a #4 or #1 split-shot, but you can suspend them under a bobber in slower water if you like.

Just lovely I'm guessing you met up with these two residents... URL=http://img715.imageshack.us/i/pc050856.jpg/]

The man speaks truth. Once when Rick Clunn was asked about the devil worshipping rumor that was going around about him, Clunn responded, "well for starters it ain't the devil...it's Paul Dallas"

Stick with the dealer you bought it from if possible.

Without the commercial slant, and the political correctness. There's nothing wrong with a writer displaying his true feelings and character.... that is unless he/she is ashamed of himself or is insecure about the accuracy of what he is putting out there. If I ever write a book I'll be making some blunt statements along the way, and I won't be apologizing for it on the last page. Too many books are being written where the authors main goal is obviously to never step on a toe and make sure EVERYONE loves him.

A jet/Jon is going to give you access to more "bigger water", so I'd say if the time spent in each is equal you're gonna catch more numbers in the jetboat....IF you know what you're doing and where to concentrate the balance of your efforts. On the other hand, if you are using a jetboat to access water better suited to canoes then you are creating more of a presence and would likely do better in a canoe.
