When I drove by Twin on Saturday it still looked pretty high. Neosho was still really muddy with lots of debris. Of course that is pretty normal as well.

That water is just too high right now to go past that old concrete bridge. Will have to wait for it to go down before you can wade up stream.

That lot will be a mud pit again!

Heck, back in the day my family would do that. Not sure when they started with the in possession law, but I can remember many times back in the late 70's and early 80's my dad would haul us to Taney and we would stay a couple of days and limit out each time. Then we would head home where he would clean them and put them in the freezer. Lather, rinse, and repeat for several weeks. We probably had over 100 in the freezer at any given time. I don't keep any anymore. I can remember the last time we fished together and it didn't go as planned. We were on Capps fishing and I was having a stellar day. He was not and he got mad because I was letting them all go. He ended up just leaving early and he didn't want to fish with me again after that. Sad but true.

Pulled the trigger and picked up the yellowfin 100 in Caribbean Blue on Saturday. Now for all the customizing!

Nice. My feeds are starting to show people catching them, but it isn't consistent yet. I know the water temps are climbing steadily so it shouldn't be a whole lot longer until it is on fire.

Years back I worked with a younger kid who grew up in the hollers around Cassville and his parents or I should say his mom didn't have really any money. Said he had "minner" stew many times before! I found it hard to believe until until I heard from someone who knew him and it was true. Said they would go down to the creek and sein them since they didn't have any money to eat on. The dude was just a tad off if you know what I mean! lol

Send some my way! I can't find 9 or 5.56 anywhere and when I do find it they mark it up so high it's not even funny.

Yeah, last year wasn't anything compared to the year before. So hit and miss just like always! ugh

I've been researching online as well for a new yak. I wouldn't go with the outlaw unless you want a heavier boat that will act like a sail with you on top of it! I already have a solo canoe that is almost 12' long, so I am looking at a 10 footer. I'm leaning towards the Vibe brand now. Buzz has a 12 foot Acsend that he likes, but it is a tank to load and unload. I want something lightweight since I go a lot on my own. Just my 2 cents worth.

Jealous over here!

To be honest the places I carry are normally out in the woods or on the creek. Unfortunately I have encountered too many unsavory characters in the last few years. My gun normally stays in the truck. Nothing worse than running into a tweaker who wants to kick your arse at the ramp or parking lot in the middle of nowhere.

I have a S&W Shield and when I carry I put it on the back of my belt right above my butt! No one sees it and my shirt hides it very well. For me it is easy to reach back and retrieve it if need be. I don't think the ankle holster is all that great IMO.

Anybody have a Vibe? looking at the Yellowfin 100 right now and it looks pretty simple and sweet. I think Thursday I am going down to Bella Vista and take a look at one from Ozark kayak. I'll see what they have to offer. Forgot to add this tidbit from my wife. I'm explaining to her what I am going to do with a canoe and kayak and she just looks at me and smiles. She says, "I don't care how many boats you have, I sell and collect jewelry all the time"! Lol Green light if ever to buy as many as I want!

I guess I should include that I don't want anything over 60 pounds as well! I fish a lot by myself and getting it in and out of the truck real easy is a plus for me.

No, not the scupper holes. I was referring to the the size of the hole where the transducer mounts? On the pescador it looked like something that could get hung up on something. I don't need that anyways since I wouldn't be mounting one. I see WS is making the Tarpon again so I am leaning towards that one right now. Feel Free has some nice ones as well, but not so sure about the wheel that is mounted on back.

Ok, I started the Pescador thread and now I have changed my mind on that model. After looking at it more and more I don't want the hole up front where the transducer could go. Seems to me that could get you hung up on a rock or tree limb just barely under the water. So now I am looking from something different. Would like price range to be under $900. I see they are making the Tarpon again so that could be an option for me, but i want to hear what else is out there that someone else has paddled already!

I don't know, I had a WS Pamlico that was 10' and I wouldn't have sold it if it had been sit of on top instead of sitting in. My knees just can't handle that anymore. Your right about it not tracking all that great, but I never minded that so much.

Well , the Disco 119 isn't that great that I have now!

Looking at maybe getting one of these in the near future. Anyone have one and if so what are your thoughts on it?

It's an amazing thing to see, but man they should have lost that game yesterday! Always been a Chief's fan and always will be, but they just keep getting super lucky!

My mom did the same exact thing with us boys. My dad travelled and was never home until the weekend. What was bad is when you did something early in the week and then by Friday you thought she would forget, until later in the day after school she would remind you.

Cut shad period.

Had an uncle die from it last week and the funeral is tomorrow. He was 90. On a vent and was getting better so they put him on a bi-pap and everything was alright for a couple of days and then he took a turn for the worse. Died 3 days after getting off the vent. It can happen to anyone at anytime.

That is exactly how that went down! When I got to the island I was slaying them and before you knew it I was trying to run underwater to get back to the access! Never heard a horn at all. I can only imagine at night how that could turn out. It was the middle of the afternoon when it happened to me.
