  1. sounds awesome! be safe, catch fish, post lots of pics of everything.
  2. what do you use for bait on those hooks? any weight? you fish with a tenkara rod? what size line? im intrigued with the micro fishing & tackle/setup.
  3. Fidget spinner is just a toy for kids. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidget_spinner that thing wrench posted looks like a fan that plugs into an iPhone for power.
  4. Thanks for the recipes. I'll have to give them a try. I'd love to see your creations on these, post up some pics if you have em.
  5. Agreed. I like lighter boats, drafting less water & I don't need a 200+ motor to catch fish. And all that on a single axel trailer pulls a lot easier too.
  6. just read 'whats cooking' & saw the braised squirrel aurora. looks good. what is the aurora part? heres what i based my recipe off of. http://www.fieldandstream.com/articles/hunting/2013/09/recipe-braised-squirrel-bacon-mushrooms-and-pinot-noir
  7. nice bag there billethead. i been itching to go get some lately. one of the best wild game dishes i've had this year was braised squirrel. How do you cook plan to cook those guys up?
  8. Thanks
  9. Anyone been to the iron bridge lately? Just wondering what the water levels are like there. Thinking about putting in there tomorrow.
  10. Nice catch!!! I enjoy seeing what you pull in so I know what the lake is capable of despite my lack of success at times. Thanks for the report!
  11. drink plenty of water & watch for signs of altitude sickness. going from 700-14000 in a matter of a few hours can certainly do it to anyone. take pics, love to see the trip.
  12. Looks like a great family trip. way to make memories for those girls.
  13. Use a depth finder, stay on the main lake & avoid river arms of lakes, ask the place you rent from about the area, go slow, idle & neutral are your friends.
  14. Found these online & it's kind of what I had in mind when it's finished. A wide plate across the back and bracketed over the top to help support the weight. Maybe it's overkill?
  15. The boat is a 1993 Lowe 170 . My transom was soft so I pulled the wood out . It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would have considering how soft it was . I'm considering adding an aluminum transom plate to the back of the boat in addition to replacing the wood in my transom . Does anyone have any suggestions or advice or experience on this ? I don't want to dump too much money considering the age of the boat. But I want to make sure whatever I do it's going to last another 20+ years or more.
  16. 9 lbs. certainly lots of food in Capps for those big brownies. Regular supply of stocker rainbows is a good winter time diet.
  17. Agree with bnorm about Bennett. Can def do without, zone they can help but not necessary depending on where you fish. In the niangua I'd think you could wet wade if temps are hot but they can be handy to have. A lot depends on your tolerance for cold water temps.
  18. Well the untreated wins out for the bunks, but only because that's what I already have in 2 2x4 8'ers. But it'll be treated lumber for the guide rails. I found cheap carpet at Daves discount carpet on N glenstone for covering em. Good to know people are using treated stuff for this & not having issues with the aluminum. Seems I read that it does cause issues with a chemical reaction but no one has had a first hand bad experience. Maybe in a transom it's a bad idea but I can't see it being a problem in the bunks.
  19. Are you wrapping the composite in carpet?
  20. Im sure this has been covered before but I wanted to ask again. I'm replacing the bunks on my trailer as well as the guide boards on the side. What wood is recommended for this? I've read that pressure treated lumber is a bad choice as well as a composite due to lack of bracing. Should I just use a standard 2x4 & only wrap 3 sides of the board so it can breath a bit? Also, is outdoor carpet from Lowe's a decent option to cover these with? Any other suggestions for a covering? Boat is is aluminum. '93 Lowe 170. Thanks
  21. Great report. Sounds like fun was had by all. Beautiful longear, I agree with billet, one of the most colorful in our state.
  22. Glad you fellas had a great trip!
  23. That's awesome. Bucket list trip right there.
  24. Replied. I'll call you in the morning.
