  1. I don't think any of the gasoline tax goes local, most anyway goes to highway construction at the FED level, and locals that sold gas in the past have said the profit was about a penny a gallon and the soda pop made more. Big chain gas station that profit likely goes to Europe. Did you all 20 buy land on the lake? is that how you are supporting the schools? How exactly do they have schools in towns that don't have lake bass? Yes, I get it. Some people are entitled to fish tournaments just because they are. And you fellers that think it's unfair just don't understand. The good Lord provided Lakes just so Boat People could hold Mine's Bigger contests. How can one argue with that? Who cares if all the Homeless Bass die, the state must provide more bass, because, well just because.
  2. Yes, signs at Houseman designate the lower end Boundry of Beaver Lake Tailwater trout management area, I think there are also some special regs on part of that for paddlefish. Been a few years since I fished that and my memory sucks.

    Oklahoma ?

    I never been down there, but my mama taught school at Idabel back in the '70s and from what she said I think it's pretty much just like where you live. Was it me I'd either set fish or hunt as the main goal and forget the other, when you travel, time is never enough to do even one thing.
  4. I like that for smallish flies also.
  5. yep, congratulations and wish you many fish in her. That's a pretty color.

    Oklahoma ?

    That's a big state and has so many kinds of lands. I can be there in 20 minutes,but its like a million miles to the other ends. Shoot; Ok reaches from south Ar. all the way to Co. and from Mo Ozarks to NM . It has prairie, desert and mountains. Runs from 4,973 feet above sea level to the lowest point at 289 feet above sea level. Better to pick a specific place and ask about that.
  7. Grand kids at it again after the rain and found 11. Try to show the big one. the picture worked! color me surprised.
  8. Just the building of the lakes destroyed a lot of habitat for many critters from cricket frogs to bats. I have no doubt that moving fish or stocking fish impacts more than just the fish or the anglers. There is a story that i have forgotten, about the movement of a butterfly's wings creating effects on the far side of the Earth. All the things on Earth impact all the other things.
  9. Walked a little yesterday and again this afternoon, way too dry even in places that I thought might be a bit moist. With rain tomorrow and Sunday, maybe some popup Monday?
  10. About twenty years ago after the annual spring floods, I saw two guys fishing in one of those BV golf course ponds; They were there three days in row . Wondered then if the POA was stocking those ponds.
  11. ever wonder if it's people that want an access closed doing that? I'm pretty sure some creeks get closed that way.
  12. bondini was always my go to, yeah that company makes many brands and that is why zap-a-gap is unfamiliar to me So, maybe not enough moisture on the failed applications, and also mentioned that fresh cut or broken items don't as well as older breaks because of lack of moisture. I've seen CA mixed with baking soda as a crack filler and that might be useful to you.
  13. I wasn't zactly sure what Zap ( used other brands but not zap) was and checked it out, the list of things it works on does not state foam and the fact that they make one for foam indicates something, I never knew they made an accelerator for CA either before .
  14. I recall finding a few in open grassy areas but by far the most have been near squirrel trees. The other side of the sightings is they showed none in this county but I know a few sack fulls have been taken. With me it is just oh look there's a morel, never have been really a hunter of them. I was actually trying to find a definitive semi-scientific answer to the "what triggers morel growth?" question, I still don't know.
  15. Curiously, when I checked one of those morel sites that post maps of reportings; there was a band running from about StL to about Nevada and to a bit south of 44 that showed numerous reports from Apr3-4 on, They said ground temperature ~40-45. Said lilac blooms at same time, our lilacs don't bloom til later. I have heard or read that almost every tree in the woods is the best and only place to look for them.
  16. how warm does it need to be?
  17. I can see they don't flop at all. Very cooperative for the camera. And smiles too.
  18. It is if you are careful to tuck your suspenders and overall bib up.
  19. X2, but I've only met 6 or 7.
  20. wag, but my experience with CA glues indicate if excess is present it doesn't set and it seems to work better with pressure ....skin excepted I notice they have foam safe CA and a kicker additive to speed the set time, wonder if your problem is chemical incompatibility?
  21. Grandson was out behind the house day before yesterday and caught a couple dozen them yeller ones.
  22. They ask your Mama if you ever lie.
  23. COs are simply cops. Law is their thing, not fishing or hunting; think about this for half a second, if a CO spends his days during hunting season chasing poachers, when could he hunt? No one that wants to hunt is looking for a job that keeps them from hunting. A hunter or an angler looking for a LEO job would be most likely to take up being a podunk county Deputy.
  24. B,b,b,but he's got the picture of it!!! Pictures don't lie? Truth, the thing does look like a mount. His leg position is awkward to support that weight but his elbows are against his ribs and its only meant to be 25# in each hand. That's a lot of salt you got in your basement already.
  25. BS?? Surely you know someone that can lift 50# in either hand? When I was that young I could. I've seen the milk truck driver lift a 10 gallon can over his head with one hand to load it and he'd do that all day long. ~100# ..10 galx8.6#=86# + the steel can ~15# I have never seen a 50# fish or even a 50# carp, but the picture looks like a dang big carp to me.
