    Got that right. And you've seen the "fitted" look of my storage. Definitely fished more when I had the 18' boat.
  2. dtrs5kprs
    Oof. That was close.

    Shades of 2017

    Bill nailed it with "PULL". You don't always have to wind it along. Pre-Ned, it was pretty much what I had settled into doing most days in the spring. Still enjoy it.

    Is this our annual monolithic thread?

    We rehabbed my old F150 for the kids over about two years, with tremendous help from a friend. It's a genuine daily grab bag of disaster at times. But well worth it when it runs and is reliable. Prayers to you and your family for the circumstances necessitating all the work.

    Super work. Not the easiest of crappie lakes at the best of times.

    1/16 ounce Ned heads or lighter, just a well tested thought...

    It bothers fishermen a lot more than it bothers the fish. They still live, bed, and feed in it.

    Good lord, don't let Ham find out.

    For anyone wanting to follow Mark Easterling... he's @lapbass on Twitter. Dude catches them.
  12. dtrs5kprs
    Well, the same could be said of me, lol. I genuinely miss Bill Richey when I'm at the lake. He was a good fisherman, and a good friend.

    Dobyns Fury 795 is the one I bought last year. I can barely find my way out of a paper bag with these baits, but that rod helps immediately. It's a serious tool, and a bargain. Would be a fantastic rod for the chandelier too, if you're into that sort of thing. Mark Easterling recommended it. He's a guitarist in Tennessee by trade, fishes kayak stuff and has a relationship with the Bull Shad folks in his free time. Worth a follow if you have Twitter. I'll find his tag there. Just like with the super finesse stuff, this big junk requires some real changes in mindset.

    Yep, I keep in contact with Billy a little. He had some pretty significant health issues going. He absolutely brought the floater back from Dale Hollow. Taught me about the spoon flipping deal...one of the best at that. Didn't care a bit how much he tore up his boat doing it, lol. I may or may not have ruined him with the little guy. I meant the member here who used to post all the swimbait pics in the winter. Used to kayak fish around the docks. Richy was his handle here. Caught a lot of big fish on them.
  15. dtrs5kprs
    No doubt. Thoughts and prayers for your debit card.

    This one works, if you can find it. On advice of one of the Bull Shad guys, I throw it on a Dobyns Fury swimbait rod, 25# mono. That one is actually the 4x4, kind of a big square bill. The one I prefer is the wake version. Both work, slightly different thickness and lips. The wake bait floats.
  17. dtrs5kprs
    Is Richy still around? He was the big hard bodied swimbait guru.

    And, funny thing...we replaced the coupler, winch stand, jack, guide bunks so might have been moot anyway. Redo on the other bunks is a summer project. KS is weird too...no titles on boats, motors, TM, or trailers under 2k weight.
  19. dtrs5kprs
    It's a freaking catacomb of regulations. We decided to add a tin boat to the fleet over the winter. Ended up buying one here in KS just to avoid the issues.
  20. dtrs5kprs
    Turned into an excellent thread. Just rewired a tin boat trailer a few weeks ago. Spent a lot of time showing the boy how to avoid some of those problems when running the wires. Good times.
  21. dtrs5kprs
    Might be a useful workaround.
  22. dtrs5kprs
    Can't imagine why. That's a common repair.
  23. dtrs5kprs
    Nice find. We've been buying a Chinese knock off version of the keeper hooks, pulling the keepers, and throwing away the hooks .
  24. dtrs5kprs
    That's Menendez-worthy right there. (Unless I'm remembering the pro incorrectly)
  25. dtrs5kprs
    Most folks have no idea of what goes into jig design, hook design, component selection, etc. Which is probably just as well, lol. It'll drive you bats.
