  1. In a pro-am format there should be no boater expectations for cost share of fuel. If you catch a ton and eat/drink from his cooler, by all means offer up. Courtesy is the rule, if they expect $ they shouldn’t be there either. I never asked or expected and typically refused any $ as a “boater” “pro” or whatever. Including head to head. Buddy tournament stuff needs to share if anywhere fishing from a boat on a reservoir for bass ain’t cheap
  2. I think Tim hughes does the Norman flake better than anybody including Norman. Real bluegill is tough. Duckydoty has been spraying some great natural stuff.
  3. If u post a few pics of the pattern you are after maybe someone would volunteer? Seems folks have niches they are good at.
  4. LVN2FISH on here has painted a few baits for me. Nice work.
  5. As a fan of fishing I’m intrigued. I do kinda feel for the guys with careers in the game sorting it out. When FLW first hit the scene, they sure looked like the smart circuit, they’ve since become a b series
  6. White River Marine extended support to FLW last month and is imbedded with BASS, curious which tour shrinks or how MLF works around existing. Maybe a single event or 2 versus a series?
  7. Maybe with the right spin gross is $1m? Seems like creative math On the other hand, if you’ve got the time, we’ve got the beer... stupid jingle has caused me to buy more high life than I’d like to admit...
  8. May not be ideal but, I leave one tied on until I a) loose it b) wear it out or c) determine it is cursed. In the event of b or c, it gets tossed into a cup holder for eventual cleaning of the boat. Replacements live in the original war eagle package in a BPS bag or tackle warehouse box. Makes it easier when you only fish mouse or spot remover. 😀
  9. Thanks for the write up. I checked hardware after the initial posting and like the pin.
  10. Shirt. Scratch resistant lenses.
  11. Good glass makes a difference over time. Binoculars, scopes, windshields or sunglasses. Im not getting any younger and I’m sure my eyes aren’t better and I’ll never have more eyes. I finally pulled the trigger on costas 3 years ago. Now wife has some and I have a second pair. Where they really shine is scratch resistance and eye strain. I can wear the bronze from before sunrise until after sunset and eyeballs feel fine. Not cheap and absolutely money well spent. Both pairs I have are Fisch 580g. Silver mirror and a blue mirror pair. If only one, the silver over bronze wins every time
  12. Thanks for the post and sharing. Looks like the connection point is the same without regard to the steering type I hate that the accident happened to you and genuinely appreciate you putting the info on here as to how it happened.
  13. Is this “the” bolt? How do you pin/retain a lock nut?
  14. I’m a natural red and natural green fan in spring. Old school brown and brown chart in fall. Maybe a phantom green if it’s really really really clear in spring. Wind and clouds a little shallower Bite seems to me to be just deeper than you can see which dictates line size for me. I refuse to bottom grind with less than 10. Too much lake to fuss with line that light and a bait worth over $30. Seguar invisx 10 a lot 12 some. Move to find color Algae kills crankbait fishing way too often. 😡
  15. Nope, sure didn’t miss it Regarding “commercial “ I’ve always heard (and shared) that to define where commerce occurs. For example, gas dock, restaurant, bait tanks, etc. where traffic is typically higher, cables, lines and hoses prevalent....
  16. As the owner of a boat on a lift, if you can cast in there, go for it. If u can’t, practice. I don’t own the lake and I choose to leave property on it. If you’re questioning casting accuracy, I in no way harm property pitching docks. Most that aren’t comfortable with their skills forego the throw to save their own lures To the specific question about a house, that’s a poor example. I own mine and all the land around it. You would have to trespass to reach it with a throw or cast. Shame on people pretending to own public water.
  17. Very nice! Even got her past the slimy fish fear and holding them! Well done sir
  18. I can’t fathom it being enforceable if real. Lake of the ozarks would basically become a very small place to fish ropes are a better deterrent than a sign to me, especially the frayed braided poly rope 😖
  19. Wrench, you like carburetors and Johnny-rudes....newer than 03 trucks should scare you....with electronics, soft touch switches, digital readout, start them and they keep running without intervention, burn whatever fuel u find, etc...all new stuff
  20. I have it and it has its place. Pros: brush pile fishing is waaaay easier, sees sideways up front, gps puck is directional, way points show on 360 screen along with distance to target, makes upcoming timber easy to find, hardwood vs Cedar is visible Cons, spendy piece on trolling motor shaft (dock cables), 20’ seems to be deepest it sees well for me. Needs AT LEAST a 9 and better at 10 or 12” screen The cast percentage into brush or adjacent to timber is incredibly high. Waste less casts for sure on those kinds of targets. U can pull up towards a pile and see exactly where to cast and how to approach.
  21. WOW. That’s a leap right there. I own an AR for varmint hunting. Can’t wait for lights to be legit to night hunt coyotes. Turns out it sits safely in a safe on its own.

    On fire

    Was fortunate to fish with my 9yo Monday and Friday morning on Stockton. Both mornings were a blast. The post spawners on points are hungry and willing. Today, he caught largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky, mean mouth, crappie, walleye, catfish and whites on a PB&J ned. 1/4 oz head steadily pulled in 12-20 ft on gravel points. He managed a limit of keeper bass each trip, Monday had a 4+, today just solid 16” fish. On the water 6ish off around 10 to tend to other things. Awesome trips Plenty of short fish and keepers. It’s a great time to get novice anglers into a whirlwind of bites. I tried to will them into a crankbait and couldn’t. I quit fishing a c-rig as they swallow it every time. I Played around with a swim bait and let him have the bottom oriented fish. No love in the brush for us. Go get em. It’s fun catching a fish every 5 minutes or less for a few hours. 🙂
  23. 6 years ago I installed a BPS XP’s dual charger to maintain starting batteries for a 24v starting system. 24/7/365 since without issues including pressure wash down. 4 years ago I put the 3 bank version in my boat. Zero issues there. Hard to beat for the $.
  24. Looks like the found THE cougar...if the animal was with the body, seems certain
