    Russells don't make good boat dogs as a rule. My old dog Bucky was an exception, he loved to go and was very well behaved on the water.
  2. Terrierman
    JoeD is right about this one. Good gear extends to terminal tackle.
  3. Terrierman
    Great job. Kudos on knowing how to handle fish and for having a good net.

    I recently acquired an Australian Cattle Dog for a companion. She's working out great but hasn't been in the boat yet. She's at the age now it will be OK to take her. Behaves very well in the truck so ready for the next step. Love to take my dogs fishing. Had several really good boat dogs over the last 50 or so years, labs, beagle, and JRT. The Heeler will probably be my last one.

    I could get you a list of mean things that have been and continue to be said but there's really no point.
  6. Terrierman
    No problem with honesty and disagreement. But one doesn't have to be nasty or mean about it is the point, I think.
  7. Terrierman
    Same here. Work, or home, hunting, fishing. Good tools are a pleasure to use and hold their value.
  8. Terrierman
    Thanks, I have never fished down there but it's on my list.

    I tried that but all the spiders carried them back to their dens and ate them.
  10. Terrierman
    I'm with you on spiders. Do not like them, not at all. Same way with clowns.

    Well, since I happen to own two Patriarch's, I cannot disagree with the reviewers top choice. They really are remarkably light and so far (first season) 100% satisfaction.

    I still think it's bad form to run over another boat, no matter how foggy it is or how little the other boat might be or where it was when you ran over it or how much current there was or whether there was a curve or a bunch of other boats in almost the same place. Same way with swamping another boat. But that's probably just me.

    Best drift rig ever. 3 way swivel. One eye to the main line. Bottom swivel 10 inches to a piece of 1/16" dia. surgical tubing about 4" long. You can tie the tubing to the line with a clinch with the wraps around the tube if that makes sense. Eye opposite the one to the main line to about an 18" 2 to 4 lb leader. Use a piece of solder stuck into the surgical tubing for weight. Start with a piece about 4" long. Adjust the weight to where you feel the bottom just ticking along every few seconds. Works for egg, minnow, crawler, power egg, you name it. Very snag resistant too.

    Those cairns are a real thing lately All over Rocky Mountain National Park last year about this time.

    Glass lenses seem to hold up a lot better for me than even the scratch reistant polycarbonate ones. But so far so good on the Ray Bans which are the only pair of good shades I have that aren't glass.

    Well, I've got a pair of Maui Jim North Point, a pair of Oakley Bad Man and a pair of amber lens Ray Ban. All are polarized and I like them all. But honestly I wear the Ray Ban pair most of the time. They are a little lighter and I love the way they fit. The Bad Man is a great set of shades too, especially when it's super bright. Nothing wrong with the North Point shades either, but anymore the Oakley or Ray Ban is about all I wear. Have yet to try Costa but will if I can find a pair to fit on this giant pumpkin I refer to as my head.

    I played with the family Sunday on the pontoon. Out of Mutton Creek. Saw a lot of fish - not shad - on the lowrance in a couple of coves on the State Park side of the lake. There were two places where whites or something had a wad of bait on top working through them.
  18. Terrierman
    Nice ones. They are the best. Cheeks and belly meat on flatheads that size are a real treat.
  19. Terrierman
    Good one. Congratulations.
  20. Terrierman
    Nice!

    Rough gig. I'd be happy to take you out sometime this fall if you want. It will have to be on a weekend and after Labor Day. Just PM me and we will see if we can make something happen. Taney or White River are my best bets when the water is like it is this year.
  22. Terrierman
    Why does someone always have to go there?
  23. Terrierman
    Bigger and more stable than a Kayak. I fail to see all the concern. Wouldn't bother me to get on Taney in something like that, not in the least.
  24. Terrierman
    So what do you think of his comments regarding religion and government?
  25. Terrierman
    That is going to make the trip up to the dam a lot more challenging. Do not like the looks of that at all.
