  1. Well, I guess I'll be there huddling in a slip, covered in three suits of Gore Tex. Reminds me, I need to pack extra rope, and the folding saw.
  2. I resemble the swimbait part of this. Took most of mine out of the boat this spring.
  3. The TP1 Black is a nice stick for the dollar. Bought three of the 7'6" "open water" spinning rods last spring. It's as close to my custom 7'6" Ned rods as anything I've seen. Really liked the Abu Venerates, which of course were discontinued. An Avid, or the other rods built on the SCIII blanks, will fish well and last. To me, they run just a little light of rating, so it's worth trying to find some to play with vs ordering online.
  4. Our fish tank is just across the room, lol.
  5. Same deal as current, basically. Moves them around for sure. Be nice if that water color holds up through April.
  6. You could probably get there with a $100 bill at Petsmart.
  7. Fair hand at that as well. Or was. Haven't done it in several years. Kind of fun if you have the time for it.
  8. Heck, I'd shoot it for you if I wasn't 4hrs away. Probably learn a thing or twelve in the process.
  9. Yep. That's the animal. Or animals, I guess. Nightmare is quite accurate. Oddly enough, it worked well the rest of the time I owned it.
  10. Wrench will no doubt correct me, but I think it is. Had one go out on my college boat close to 30 years ago. Paid to have it "fixed". Went out again when I put it on the trailer after Day 1 of an Iowa Federation state tmt. One of my club guys had done one on a duck boat, and we fixed it in the parking lot of a motel, with him chain smoking by flashlight. If it's the same deal, there's a little hole that a "ball" fits into to close it. Genuine PITA.
  11. Is that the deal in the Merc trim system that uses the little ball bearing looking doo dad?
  12. That does seem to be a pattern in a lot of sectors.
  13. That's been my setup in the Ranger since 2005, except I think the cranking battery is bigger than a 27. Motor specs call for more power. That said, it's on a four bank, so it charges every night along with the TM batteries.
  14. Handwriting was on the wall when they got into BPS. There's a place out of Alabama that usually has a good selection of Lew's, also Daiwa and Dobyns. Sportsman's Outfitters.
  15. Bit of a poke from Tulsa, but there are a lot of fish in "The Ditch" at Muskogee. I have a friend who lives there, and that's what he fishes, in addition to an occasional Tenkiller trip. Basically the river from Ft. Gibson to where it turns into that next lake. Multi-species, current. Might suit you.
  16. Do you have it in the back, or is it up front?
  17. 😬 Now y'all have me worried about the one I put on. No scope, and just a little fella though, so maybe it'll work out.
  18. Didn't know they had gators at Fork. Neat.
  19. It was squirrels and raccoons last year. Varmints galore.
  20. Nice ride, hoss.
  21. Right. But it's a start. I'll take any crumbs they'll throw us.
