  1. I've been using the gel and can still get parts stuck to things they don't need to be stuck to.
  2. Raccons are the cutest most destructive creatures God ever saw fit to put on this earth. If you go to hell for killing coons, there is a special warm spot reserved for me and a bunch of my terrier hunting buddies. We would barn hunt in Iowa with terriers and in years past, it was nothing really exceptional to get 100 or more in a day. It's different now with a lot fewer small operations that actually put hay in barns and 20 is a good day. But that's still a lot of coon blood.
  3. Dave is going to send me a few. I've been fishing regular old round head jigs with mono guards that I trim the mono on and have not been what you would call suffering from the handicap. I've also used and really like those stupid expensive gamakatsu wacky rig jig heads. But they're probably overkill. Who am I to always have to swim upstream? Nobody that's who. So I am going to give the real deal a whirl. With Dave's recommended Mustad hooks. It's going to be interesting to finally start doing something right.
  4. There are plenty of places that do carry Lew's. I'm fond of their spinning reels.
  5. I don't think you're going to be able to trade in for anything Lew's at BassPro. Ever.
  6. I bought my grandsons 6'6" Temple Fork rods light fast action. Put Lew's speed spins (size 10) on them. Nice combination. Got the chance to catch a few trout on one. It's a great rod especially for the money. Really like TFO lifetime no fault warranty too.
  7. If I had to follow anybody's lead except my own, it would drive me totally bananas. Guessing pretty much the same for everyone on here.
  8. Add in a couple of bad knees and 20 years and now you know why it didn't take me long to change that up. Now I think it's a better set up than a Supreme without mats. Dry feet, dry gear, non-slip. Works for me.
  9. Feedback: You have a reputation as a pretty darn good fisherman. So you posting up some nice fish wasn't a huge surprise. Not one to chase other's success as a general rule, like to learn from others face to face. I fished Taneycomo Saturday because it was a nice day and I wanted a sure thing to be able to grill some fish Sunday. So no, you did not influence me at all other than to complement you on what looked to be a heck of a nice stringer. Even if the grass is a little too green.
  10. My boat is a Shawnee commissary boat with ribs running the length of the boat in the floor. I cut 3/4" plywood to make a false floor, painted it with non-skid porch paint from Lowe's, then screwed it to the ribs. HUGE improvement as anyone who's been in that boat with me will testify. But for that to work (have a place for a little water to go) the ribs seem central. For a flat bottom boat with integral floor like Supreme, some kind of semi-open mat seems optimal.

    Egged Trout

    Basic smoked trout. Lemons, seasoned salt, a little garlic. real butter. About an hour on the egg at 300 or thereabouts. Turn once about half way through. Real simple, real good.
  12. Less can indeed be more. I learned that from Thoreau, when I was maybe sixteen and did not know what more even looked like.
  13. It was windy Saturday too. But still a very welcome January warm spell. I'm interested in hearing what you think about the new rod.
  14. Yeah! What do all those epidemiologists know anyway.

    Whites

    Everything is good when the Dogwoods are blooming. For which I am eternally grateful.
  16. Crap and right after I said something about never talking about spots. White River can be the exception though, right? I mean who doesn't know how to find the White River?
  17. I got a little ink, but none of you will ever see it.
  18. Whoa, nice! You're not one to give up are you?
  19. Good call on white and pink and white. Ham will disagree with me on these two as he's apparently had some come apart on him, but I have yet to see any problems with either of them. Maybe they're putting a little something on the wraps now? Anyway, I really really like olive/ginger with gold head and also white/gray with chrome head. The white/gray is wrapped with red thread. It just has to look like bait. Has to. Anyway, I will always have those colors in my box, and usually on a rod, unless something else is just killing them and what I have on isn't.
  20. I just plain old don't talk about locations on the internet, at all. But since I'm not a very good fisherman and don't know any good places to catch fish, nobody loses.
  21. I'm a little slow on the uptake and just now figured out they're posted on FB. It's really cool Phil, keep it going, please and thank you.
  22. Haven't had that happen yet.
  23. That OSU QB would make a great KC Chief.
  24. Well, stop and think about what a baitfish might look like and add in a red wrap and it kind of makes sense. They sure worked for us. Really all we fished with for two days was either gray and white or olive ginger with gold head.
  25. Have you tried the white/gray with chrome head zig jig? If not you should buy some.
