Thanks guys!! Some custom paints would be good. We will definitely go for the prime rib.

We are staying in the white river state park below the dam. We wanted full hookups for the camper and the wife really liked that park. We have small lakes up here so can’t really run the boat so I am sure we will cover some ground to see the lake and run the boat some. LOL

Any tips to point us in the right direction to get started would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the offer!

Wife and I are coming to Bull Shoals for 2 weeks starting Friday. If you see this boat swing by and say hello. We have been going to Table Rock but it is getting so crowded with all the tournaments and pleasure boats we decided to try Bull this year. Hopefully we can figure out Bull and catch some bass. No worries though about the bass as we are strictly catch and release and are just fun fishing so a pic and right back in. We are not big trout fishers but we did hire a guide to take us out for something different. Hopefully it will be a good time. Anyway if you see us out and about say hi.

Them are some FAT spots!!

Glad to see you posting again Dave. We have been hoping/praying things were going good for you all.

Has anyone used one of these yet? If so how did it actually work? http://fish.shimano.com/content/fish/northamerica/us/en/homepage/Shimano_Product_Page.P-CURADO_DC.html

Sounds good to me.

Not sure what the motor is worth but figure it has to be at least half of boat cost. So with that said around $1500?

Interested in selling without the honda motor? If so how much?

Ad says pre-rapala. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Painted-Pre-Rapala-Storm-Wiggle-Wart-V-Model-Missouri-PBJ-Craw/192807768209?hash=item2ce43d1091%3Ag%3ARQcAAOSwg-tcT7Uf&LH_BIN=1

I searched ebay and found them; $27.99 each and it says 4 available.

Have to watch on internet now for the live viewing. They will have shows on tv later in the year. Just like any BASS or FLW tournament.

I really like the MLF format! Most fishermen don't tournament fish; they go out wanting to catch a lot of fish and hopefully catch a big one or two. The MLF format is what most people can relate to=fishing; not just trying to get 5 big bites in 8 hours of fishing. To me the MLF format shows who the best fishermen are; the ones who can figure out how to catch a bunch of fish instead of who gets lucky enough to get 5 big bites.

No problem. Wish it was the longer one for you.

I measured the shaft and unfortunately it is the 45” so it is shorter than you are wanting.

I will try to remember to measure shaft length tomorrow and let you know. What would you consider a fair price considering it was only used a few times one year? If you are not in a hurry we will get to Kansas City this summer for a couple royals games.

I have a 80lb that was only on my boat for a year so is basically like new. I would have to measure it as I am not sure if it is 48" or 52". Only problem is I am in Nebraska.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!!

Yeah I really didn't think posting this would start a pissing match.

From what I saw the other night (around 10 different bucks and 15 or so does) the balance where I am hunting seems to be ok for now.

Here is a good article to help with judging deer on the hoof. It says for the southeast but it is good for up here as well. http://extension.msstate.edu/sites/default/files/publications/publications/p2206.pdf

LD Fisher: tell your grandson congrats! He got himself a dandy!

I was judging by his body size/composition. You never want to judge by antler size as that can be very misleading either way.

This is in Kansas. Wish I had a place to hunt in MO too.
