Oh I dunno. I remember several cock teasers from high school where the "rape" allegations only happened AFTER the relationship went south.....or they "mysteriously" turned up pregnant. You know the drill.....if they didn't claim "rape" then daddy was gonna take the car away.

I watched a documentary type thing once where like 70% of women admitted to having rape fantasies, and would be disappointed at men who didn't "Take Charge" (so to speak). So let me get this straight......by their standards......Guys are supposed to forcefully rape them, on the off chance that they are into that sorta thing????? 😲 What in the Sam Hell ? 😂

Every stream that flows into Norfork lake is going to have stripers run up it during the Spring, or after a flood, you can bank on that. They probably aren't residents of the creek though.

They knew this would happen when Dawt mill dam was left to its demise. There was controversy, but nobody elected to fund it's reconstruction.

Yes, and they need a river long enough for the eggs to stay in the flow for 3-4 days. Bryant probably isn't long enough, but the NFOW should be.

If that is true then the rainbow population honestly doesn't stand a chance. When I lived on Lake Lanier the preferred bait for Stripers was a 10" Rainbow trout fished under a balloon. They are successfully spawning in the Chattahoochee, but they aren't year-round residents of the river.

Honestly this isn't even worth talking about🙄 Air temp, manifold pressure, engine temp, and exhaust O2 are all used by the ECM to to alter injector pulse width, ignition timing, and manifold vacuum. So unless you feed it something far to one end or another of the combustible spectrum (water or diesel fuel) then the torque output SHOULD be relatively stable. Therefore, without precise monitoring equipment you aren't going to notice a difference between 87 or 91 octane fuel anywhere but in the thickness of your wallet. As far as "HIGH PERFORMANCE" altered motors are concerned.... Outboards are already"high performance" by design, so tweeking/flashing for even MORE performance comes at a cost. And that cost is R-E-L-I-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y. Engines tuned to go extra-fast don't do it for very long. You'll only get there quicker if the distance is short.

Couple more nights with her and I'd have needed a tetanus shot. Biting, scratching, wildcat. 🥴 I'm not into pain.

The fact that when you catch one it poops all over the place indicates that they eat CONSTANTLY, but catching them consistently in the middle of the day, for me, is practically impossible. There's a 2-3 hour window every day where I can usually put on a clinic here on my home pond. I've tried to make it work on Pomme/Truman and elsewhere.....and failed miserably. As for location patterns....spring influence is HUGE, and it doesn't have to be much. The tiniest little trickle is all it truly takes.

Running up to the first few sets of shoals during a rise (maybe as far as Patrick) is common behavior, but running up that far is only common during an attempted spawn. Especially in masse. Or so I would expect. 🤔

I thought I did too. Turns out that I loved that she loved Me....for a week or two.

If you do then that computer isn't doing what it is allegedly designed to do.

Because I know exactly how that would work out. I would drive down, find a place to stay, organize a float, load the canoe, and not witness a single striper. 🙄 I can do Fall trout/smallmouth way closer to home.

"Schools" of them ? That far up? In September? Interesting!

Orbiting the earth for some boneheaded reason. Really looking forward to the days of government payouts when all of this space debris starts raining down upon us.

Oh geeze, Equestrians 🙄 Serves them right.

Every old tacklebox in the country has a Heddon Sonic in it, and it's probably the black & white speckled one. And in mint condition. 😅 How many fish do you reckon were ever caught on it ? I've paid my dues..... here's MINE Like trying to cast a potato chip 😵‍💫

Hot-n-tot's and Thin fin's were in every baitshop in the Midwest. Anything you hang on the wall of a baitshop is gonna sell. Charles Spence was a marketing genius.

All engines of all kinds have been designed to run efficiently on 87% octane fuel since 1996, and since the main concern boaters should have with alcohol enhanced fuel is its shelf life there is absolutely no benefit to higher octane fuel..... because it is LESS fresh at the time of purchase, in all circumstances. Regardless of manufacturer claims there is no true benefits to ANY fuel additive. Even the engine maker branded crap. The best fuel for your outboard is the freshest 87% fuel you can find....with NO additional additives of any kind. And when it gets old.....kill weeds with it.

In that case, I need to have one ! 👍

All I really care about is what the "group of riders" were riding.

Right ! Cuz we all know what a stick "Big Dave" is. 😅 Wait, Dave who? 🤔

I haven't seen one in so long I've begun to doubt their existence. If a truly good one got mistakenly hired around here they'd probably make sure he had an accident.🙄

Sure do. 🤗 That rear paw looks like it got caught in a muskrat trap.

I'm just that way. I prefer to not have that crutch in my life. I can bounce a lure off that old fuel tank without any sonar assistance at all. I didn't even find it initially by using sonar......Located it during a severe drawdown when the water was gin clear. The thought that my fishing success could be dependant on batteries and computer type technology sickens me. How long before "hunters" start killing deer from their couches via drone strikes....and having the body ubered to a processing plant, and the meat delivered to them ? The technology is available, WHY NOT USE IT ? NO, they'd rather wade through briar patches, climb trees with bows and firearms, drag it home and take a blood bath with it...... Because that's what "hunting" means. 😉
