They look like they may be a little sticky and slightly sweet? A good thing for sure. That salad mix looks great.

Catfishing; How Long To Let It Set?
Wayne SW/MO replied to jimithyashford's topic in General Angling Discussion
If you don't have an alternative that is the only rule. -
From this angle, which isn't good, I don't see any channel, looks more like a flat?
-
Something solid like electrical tape will change the reels ability to cast some lure eights. When you make a cast the lure has to start the spool and the more energy to do that will be deducted from the distance.

I think I mentioned before that we have a row of Hibiscus that is a magnet for the Japanese beetles. I did find one on them several weeks ago, but that was it. The mystery for me is not just the fact they didn't make an appearance, but why? Someone knew because the wife started looking for trap after I found the one and none were available?

Sometimes it is nice to let the fish come to you Tim, but it can also be fun to be there when they arrive. -
I struggled with tomatoes for the same reason, but so far the Celebrity's and the one Big Beef, both VFN, and the Big beef is resistant to everything, are doing well. If I can just catch the cut worms if they arrive I should be in good shape.

I wouldn't go much over an hour if I had other promising spots. Obviously there is no set in stone time. You can always come back to a spot if you're use scent to see if anything was late in arriving. -
No. You generally want something that will hold it's bulk. The best thing is a braid, whatever is cheap. You can use cheap mono and it isn't to bad, but it will absorb water and swell, where the braid won't swell and the fibers are waterproof.. Dacron is a good braid to use and cheaper then the super braids.

How many vials of anti venom did he carry with him at one time?

Remember that coons don't gather food with their mouth like most wild critters and they can reach and pick something up with out a lot of body disturbance. Make it look and scratch for something. Another option is dry catfood, something they love. Scatter it loosely all over the bottom of your trap so that it has to walk around it it. Water and food in one place is very attractive to a coon.

There was at least one patch of zebras in the Pothole, or at least it had to be a prime suspect for razor like in cuttings at one spot. Carp will eat zebras, but apparently they are high on their menus. Powerdive have you considered the new water depths. Could this have changed some of the attractive environment and moved your fish to other locations? The depth change was listed as 3' then 5', but it appears that 6' or 7' is the reality.

Did you wear moccasins to sneak up on them?
-
Ness I had that problem to start and realized I wasn't cutting the corn off far enough up the cob. You have to be sure you're cutting all the husks. I make sure I'm up to the point it starts to level some. As far as HOT, I just use a hot pad and don't really have any problems. !5-20 years ago we had a canned salsa recipe that was outstanding that came out of a Kerr booklet, but lost it unfortunately.
-
One way to get past a crafty coon is to put a little pan of water at the back of the cage and smear some canned cat food around the center. He'll cave, generally, and come looking for the cat food and to check out the water.
-
Generally you can grab them by the tail and just put them on the ground, done it more than once. They snarl and show their teeth, but they don't really snap or try to bite. They won't bother you if you drop them at your feet.
-
Did not know that. We have a constant stream of them through here, best fly deterrent there is.

I had a half grown coon on my porch this morning. I'm not sure what was going on with him. I thought maybe he had distemper, and he may have it, but it must be early because he was full of piss and vinegar when I shooed him off the porch. We have a cedar that is probably an easy 50' and he went up 20' or so into it and settled on a limb to sleep.
-
We used to can alot of items and kind of got away from it when we were in Oregon, hard to get a good raw supply, but we're going to do some more this year.
-
My squash and zucchini are driving me nuts. I have had one fruit off of each and they are producing tons of blossoms, but apparently not a mixed gender? It seems late to me, but I haven't planted any in about 3 years.
-
TR doesn't seem to be a popular cat lake for board members. Probably because it lacks blues. It does have a good population of flats, or so it seems.
-
Yea, they aren't as interested in the stream as they are making it a resort setting. It's really filled in all the way down. It's no wonder when you call some place a hole people look at you funny, "Hole, what hole??". They bought most of the hollow above in the late 80's and could have built some small catch dams above to catch the gravel and actually protected the watershed they claimed as the reason, but they didn't and they don't own the rim of the hollow. Now they're cutting trees and digging gravel less than a hundred yards from stream side.
-
Good point NoLuck. I suppose you've noticed that after spending all that money to keep structures away from the stream they are now building 3 new duplex units right across the road. I suppose eventually they will string them all the way to the nature center if the DNR has anything to say about it.

When i was a kid there was a guy who had a pet one. He kept it in a cage by his house during the day and we would go by there to see it once in awhile. It had been de-glanded, or what ever you call it, but it still smelled like a skunk, just not at the eye watering level..

Shadow Bass From Norfork. Definite Maybe
Wayne SW/MO replied to Ham's topic in General Angling Discussion
I've never caught anything but Northern Rock bass, AKA goggle eye in the Niangua. It's been cut off from any other bodies of water since time began however and i would think if any were in there they would be obvious.
