Moguy, you could weld a larger size tube or channel to the side of the deck frame thus making standard loops and build the rack as a drop in. In fact that might work for you, JD; it would keep the bed flat and make fairly easy on/off deal for any rack.

With all those "unknowns " in that update it appears that it is being thrown out. or just dropped. I guess liability for wrongful death would be on the boat owner?

Kayaks can't just sit on the floor? I think I'd be looking at a roller for the end of the trailer and scoot the boats in that way.

Looks to me like it would be really hard to prove who drove the boat with no witness, barring a confession. So if the guy confesses to being passed out and only coming to in the water, no idea who was driving, etc. the arrest for being drunk at the scene supports his story? How is the woman that was sent to Mercy doing? Recovering to tell her story or..? Who did the boat belong to? It would be reasonable to assume the owner drove, wouldn't it?

If all you intend to do is hunt for sport all you need are rocks.

I don't like any company taking a political stance on any thing. It put's their employees in a position of supporting that stance or quitting and it always alienates some fraction of the customers. Should be a employee rights group that could sue those corporations that take a CEO's personal politics to the company policy page.

Many years ago I read how a guy dropped an eating spoon into water (from a bridge?) and watched it flutter out of sight and fish hitting it repeatedly, it was supposed to be the inspiration for cutting the handle off a spoon and attaching hooks and casting it so that it fluttered down through the fish; dumb guy like me, I thought fluttering was how to fish a spoon.

How is a "flutter spoon" different from a spoon?

When I lived in town, I said the leash law should either be applied to the cats or to the cat's people, cats own people not the other way round so the people should be required to wear a leash attached to the cat that owns them.

Way back a year or two, it was prophesied by quite a few that BP would take the boat company and scrap the stores of Cabela's, what ever the boats are or were. In my estimation both BP and Cabela's are clothing stores first and foremost with guns as a draw factor, like milk in a super market and tackle is just a side line.

ah, some days I'm slow. But, if the ones discouraged from coming to the Park are poachers or other criminals, isn't keeping them out a good thing? Surprised the State Patrol is present that often, don't recall ever seeing one at RRSP. So, do we believe MSHP is there to watch for poachers? Or just a show of presence to deter urinaters? and drug traffickers?

I've always been leery of businesses with Extreme in their name, it just sounds soooo pretentious.

Any cat in the out doors is feral and responsible for the murder of millions and millions of song birds, even to the point of 33 species extinction, all cats not on a leash need euthanization. Heads must fall!

Memory gets holes in it with time but, I seem to recall a 6' sign in RRSP about 30 years ago that indicated alcohol was prohibited there. I don't recall seeing those signs recently. Enforcement of the alcohol ban would likely fall on the sewer and mining cops since the Parks belong to DNR. The poaching would fall to MDC Enforcement Division, most of whom need to be in at least three places at once, because there simply aren't very many of them, one per county for the most part and I believe they are limited to 40 hour weeks. (Although I believe BSSP may have the use of four Agents because of it's location in two counties.) So, if we want poaching slowed or stopped, it is up to each of us to make that phone call. 1-800-392-1111 On the other hand, if we just don't care that much or if we want to encourage and enable; we should just walk on by and not whine on the 'net about our own lack of responsibility. Several years ago I got the cell number for the local warden, I bet if you ask you can the cell # for the Agent near you.

I am always astonished at the people that say " I own guns, but I want to take your guns away". fwiw, the arms mentioned in that worthless paper called a Constitution were all military weapons. No other qualification than they be capable of military use; by a strict interpretation "sporting" arms might be regulated or prohibited. Does that powerbait work good on goggle-eye? Ever use it for bullhead or channel cat?

been twenty years or more since I was up there, Do they really have cameras watching people urinate at BSSP? Isn't that an invasion of privacy?

Are you sayin they charge entrance fees there?

Yeppers and the 30-06 too. and the 30-40 Krag and the blunderbuss, they were all military developments, the rifle in any form was developed for the military..There were never many if any AR15s in the military.

It was built by the city as a sports arena 25-30 years ago and taken over by BP 2-3 years ago. It had been vacant for several years I think. Memphis Grizzlies.

gosh, no wonder you got banned, that's unfair to both the dogs and communists! 😀

I read an article back in the '70s or '80s that claimed barbless hooks actually held the fish better because the barb acts like a saw as the fish fights enlarging the entry hole. Don't know if it's true or not, but, coupled with cutting a hook out of my partners ear the week before caused me to de-barb all my hooks since. The barb was developed to hold the wire while the hook was shaped, I believe. Use them bolt cutters with one hand?

A few years ago at the old Bass Pro there the clerk told me Memphis had the largest fly tying (or fly fishing) club in the nation and that they all went to Mountain Home to fish. I had expressed surprise at the size and variety of the fly tying department; I think more and better quality than I had seen in the Springfield store. I didn't check the truth of his statements, but he came across as truthful. I didn't find the Orvis store but it may be dependent on the White River also.

Didn't I read on this forum recently that boats make a bigger wake off plane than on? I thought it was here.

With a fly rod? Or suggest a pattern that would mimic that?
