Proud indipendant but would / will stay on the forum regardless.

dont know but there is a reason it aint called facts news

cure the depression by flipping the channel. fox cant get it right any way.

gotta put my two cents in here. Know a guy that has one of these destroyer sized [at least a 40 footer] ships that pulls it with a Honda [that's right I said Honda] any way he had a friend backing it in to launch who managed to hit a telephone pole with the lower unit [THREE TIMES] before busting the lower unit case and all . estimated 8 to 10 grand to fix. B.T.W. it is 4 sale it has a 454 big block . lol

My folks have a place just across from Bass Pro .when the old ramp was just below we would watch boats and cars back clear in more than once with just the roof of the vehicle sticking out of the water.

yes, bad bluff move along . nothin but snags

Fished 45 degree banks today. Couldn't buy a top water bite but caught a few shorts on pb&jelly jig with twin tail watermelon candy. 40 ft. seemed to be the number. all shorties but FAT toads. mostly jaws but a few smallies. I think it is fixin to bust loose. I AM MORE THAN READY!!

Well ,after a closer inspection and a whole can of wd40 . Found a broken plastic keeper that holds casing so it won't travel with the cable after I took apart a piece that is stamped with "do not disassemble". now if I can come up with new keeper or "Rig" one. I'll be back in biz. with out spending 400 bucks. Glad I am "handy"

yes ,one of them broke it would steer one direction but not correctly . It has always been kinda stiff to steer but especially this spring should have looked into it b- 4 this happened . has no grease zerks but new ones will. can't tell you how lucky I was not to be haulin a** AS USUALLY I AM! when all said and done had about an inch and a half of water on the floor boards ,tackle box flipped over and me pretty shook up . luckily got it shut down . will be wearing tether from now on. trolling motor got me in.... barley. got them out today and was a real pain. THANKS much for info, looks like about 4 bills.

any suggestions on where to buy new teleflex steering cables? had one snap the other day VERY fortunate not going very fast! boat took very hard right and about threw me out . any way looking for new cables it is dual rack and pinion design. I suggest you lube those cables and wear vest and kill tether! this could have been a real bad deal.

now you all got me wondering where my Fruit Of The Loom pocket ts fits into all this??

I have less trouble with them hangin up than other jigs . gives the bait a little more action too I think.

Well, I thought I had really pulled a good one but sounds like not all that un-common!!! interesting indeed!!

my first in 13 years fishing the Rock.

fished outta mill creek for a bit this morning. caught a few on wobble head then saw what I thought were whites swirlin the water so threw a white rooster tail at them and hooked up about a 3 lb trout!! had heard they were in t.r. but first I ever caught. old boy really hammered it and came outta right field so to speak{ wasn't in the swirl}is this common or un-common? b.t.w. beautiful healthy fish is still swimmin.
