Sounds like a plan Ham!

I dont doubt it! I've personally seen him advance the clicker with his chin while shaking off a 20 inch cutthroat from the barbless tri-olive 1/32 while simultaneously opening a Twinkie wrapper with his teeth.. Honest to goodness! (it was a special edition Twinkie "Red" candy cane flavored) Eric

Thanks For the report Ham! Have not had a lot of chances to get down there this summer with my youngest graduating HS, mission trip to the Houston area with our Youth Group to help those from Hurricane Harvey flooding devastation, and selling my house in Eastern Iowa and getting moved into the new home and out from a second mortgage (woohoo) Ill be coming down in August 9-12th to do some 4 wheeling (open invitation for anyone wanting to join in the fun) over in hot spings orv park. that weekend is an outing for Camp Sunshine (burn victims) to take them out for the day 4-wheeling on cat 2 and cat 3 trails. should be great fun. Thinking about extending the trip to Monday, Tues and wed Aug 13th 14th and 15th on the White at my place in Flippin, if my buddy Rob decides to come down, otherwise Im looking for a couple more trips between Sept and Nov if anyone is interested in meeting up before the jig fest in Dec. How many on the clicker for the year Ham? you burn out the counter yet? Eric

Some day when I will have the trolling motor added. My next additions are the electric anchor and adding the oar block and oars. I had the boat built with the reinforcements for the oar blocks, so its ready to just bolt on.

Me too.. I find I use them for quick adjustments. I'm not a guide so I think I qualify as a hack as well!

U get to fish down there?

For those of you that have oars on your river jon. What do you like and why. I had Carlisle Composites on my stealthcraft and am looking to get a pair for my 2160. Sometimes its nicer to just hit the oars instead of firing up the motor and I was curious what you guys that have on your river jon? Do you prefer a shoal cut or the Dynalite narrower style for the longer river jons? Eric

Was that you and the other 2 Stealthcraft rigs I saw coming out of Wildcat last Saturday? It was a convoy led by a sand colored jeep.

Great to see you too! Yeah lets plan on getting together next time. We had a lot of work to do at the shop this go round. I was not sure what I was going to come down too after the call from flippin water department saying that my meter was spinning off the hook and I had a 44,300+ gallon water bill. So we spent a good bit of time fixing plumbing that froze and tearing out some walls this trip. I did get to open her up several times. sure does making getting up stream a lot quicker than the stealthcraft with the 20hp. What I need is more time in the shallow water before I am comfortable going full throttle in such skinny water. There is now a ton more places I can go with the jet but I am not familiar with the skinny river sections... kinda freaks me out a bit... It will become second nature im sure after a few more outings. I love it!!!

I did! I caught the first 5-6. Mike caught the first beer! Rob caught the first Brown. 😜

I’ll bet you do!

Twinkie zone was not established today. We did christen her with 30 trout, two large mouth and 1 smallie. The twinkies were elusive. The banana nut muffins were another matter!

Nothing specific yet Les. In generalities the nature coast area and raindow river

Thanks les! Let’s plan to fish soon!

Be careful up in Missouri tomorrow. I think your going into some nasty stuff!

She’s in the garage! Next up red’s landing

Rob and Michael Apfelbaum is coming Thursday to help at the shop.

She’s awfully dusty! just out of the shop today! Motor goes on in the morning. Hopefully they wash off all the fiberglass dust. Can’t wait to get her wet 😎

just a peak... because thats all I have! came out the the mold Monday.

U want what I actually paid for it.... or what I told my wife I paid for it... I'm into it for about 3k. but I have done a lot of mods. I have customized the helmet with fans and voice modulator. USB battery pack to power everything. The armor is an actual first lineage 1976 A New Hope reproduction by RS Propmasters Sand trooper. They purchased the "Move Along" sand trooper armor from the movie when it came up for auction. The helmet is a signed Anthony Forrest collectors edition. He was the Storm trooper in the movie that was Force tricked by Obi-Wan "These aren't the droids your looking for" in Mos Eisleys. I am part of the 501st Vaders fist group. We troop for anyone that asks..we just ask that a donation be made to a favorite charity and if folks dont have one we support the Make a Wish foundation. I am an officer in the Mos Eisleys PD. It took quite a bit of doing to get approved... my Trooper number is TD-11516 which happens to be the serial number for my armor. I have a blast doing it!

I have been meaning to bring it down and fish from my boat in it and take some pics just for fun!... What Sandtroopers do in their day off.. not sure I could perform a spey cast in it. I will bring it next Jig fest!

Only thing I shoot anymore is my DL-19 heavy Blaster rifle but being a Sandtrooper we cant hit anything

What kind is it? I have a stout little Renegade. could never get the buffalo ball to shoot consistently. And the smell of the Black powder and steam would send everyone out of the house when cleaning it!
