  1. NoBama does not have the experience to deal with the World Politics. 164 days in Federal office and nothing more than a UNION organizer in Chi town. One day he says one thing the next day something else, which ever way the winds blows so does Nobamas ideals. When you stop and listen to him the few things he is consistant on is in line with Communism/Socialism. Next he says the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES is a living document and needs to be changed, not in part but in whole!!! He is wrong on this. How could a man with NOBAMAS MONEY not help he brother living in a bathroom sized tin hut in Kenya??? Yea some great change he is doing!!! Million dollar house and done with a crooked undertable deal on the loan. The man who helped get the loan is a convicted felon. McCain I don't agree with many things on his list either certainly the lesser of the EVILS, he has certainly served the country, did not spend his youth in a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. To vote for a person because he is for change, but has little experience leading anyone anywhere???? No in my books!!!!!!!! Certainly no solid plan for anything except to limit your income and income potential Who gave NOBAMA his money? Millions of dollars and he don't think he is rich???? Is he an idiot???? Is he going to give his money away to help the poor? No he is not refer to his brother living on one dollar per month in Kenya!!! [size 15] NOBAMA is a fake as a countrfiet twenty dollar bill!!!
  2. Oak bore beatles.
  3. Have a 25 HP Yamaha, 4 stroke I will trade it needs a forward gear. electric start.
  4. After watching the questions at the Saddleback Church, Mc Cain has to win. NoBama did not have the answers.
  5. Dude Dad is going to be poed!! Someone go up there and fish from the top. Anpost the pic here, LOL Forrest Gump "Stupid is as stupid does."
  6. Not a big fish but still nice. I have included some closeup pcs of the detail work. Thanks for looking. John
  7. When fishing is outlawed, I will be an outlaw!
  8. So how big are the turds? Puts a whole new meaning on catching a brownie!!
  9. We like Vanish gold 8# we use it on all of our reels. I took my brother out with it and he was able to land 14 bows from the dam to Wildcat, it was his firsty time in a boat on White River. He could not believe how sensitive the line is. Just make sure the line is wet when you tie your knots.
  10. Had a killing here. just down the road last week. Lady shot her husband in the chest with a shotgun. His final words as he tossed back the blanket were "No you've done it." then he died. His name by chance was "Rodney King" I am serious really was Dano possibly read in the Harrison Daily Time about it.
  11. We have DSL about 1/2 mile from the house and the phone company says we are screwed. Alltel is $59.00 a month and I used it last night and it worked great with 2 bars on the USB card. Alltel has a 15 day free trial and you can get $100.00 rebate on the card, it cost $100.00 so its free after the rebate. I uploaded pics to photobucket in seconds instead of 10-15 minutes. same for down loads. It is as fast as any DSL I have used. Tomorrow I will try to find a speed tester to see. We dont have great reception here but its better than dialup way better, my wife teaches school and there is a site she teaches from and the usb card will access the NOVANET. Hey its great and we don't loose service like we do with the Dishnetwork Sat. 15 day free trail!!
  12. Toper long wide or short wide bed. How old a chevy did it fit?

  14. Well today I am trying the Alltel, usb card internet for two weeks. it sure seems faster for down loads, have not tried to up load anything yet. But its way to heck better than Dial up and cheaper than Hughs or Wildblue. Plus the usb card can be swithed between computers I am told. Ours in on the newer gateway PC. But its pretty darn fast.

  15. With the way the water is running, should it continue the small bass boat will be fine. Last week I saw some big bass boats on the river one with a 250HP Yamaha several with smaller around 150hp motors. The big thing is watch the wake, the river boats dont handle large wakes very well. One rude dude was doing his best to swamp the river boats. Was told some of the older guides are pretty good with the old David and Golith slings and golf balls. So please watch the wake. There is a fellow with a white bass boat a Whaler I think with Florida reg, that is cutting everyones drift off, if someone knows who he is they need to explain the bopat on the dfrift has the right of way. Not him running in short and cutting the drifting boat off. John
  16. Unless there is a major drop in water level like the dam breaks or they open the flood gates, there no bank to fish. I would plan on hitting th river at lest there is some shoreline in the BSSP area to fish.
  17. In Bull Shoals last year, near Leadhill.
  18. I think its a lot simpler than most posted. Cavenders Greek Seasoning is about all you will need for a rub. Give the butts a coating the night before and allow them to sit int he frig. I use a meat therm. and take the butts to a temp of 175F, when done it should pull apart with a couple forks. A properly cooked butt will fall apart when dropped on the counter. a large butt will take about 3 hours to cook at 235F, kind of the plat as mentioned. As for wood, dont use wood that is old and moldy and covered in mildew. Seasoned wood, and if you want once the fire is going blackberry brairs, wild cherry and fruit wood will do better thant most nut woods. Stay away from Black Walnut. Several years back at a Memphis in May comp. I took best with this simple recipe and really poed the high dollar cooker guys off. Cavenders is available at Wal MArt and many other grocery stores. if all else fails they are in Harrison AR> http://www.greekseasoning.com/ http://www.cavendersseasoning.com/
  19. Just fair warning there are a lot of people out this week with bass boats, two swamped and one on the bottom today down river from Cotter I was told. I do know for a fact there are two rive rboats on the bottom. There is also a missing Supreme white with a Purple flake streak missing. last seen 1 1/2 miles down river from Ranchette on the bottom upside down. Tomorrow the COE is calling for six generators, maybe that will scare the bass boat people off.
  20. There are some variations on it. they are always girth X girth X length. but depending on the water and the fish 680 -720 or 800 is the dividing number..
  21. Just think of the following reproduction, the fish size to come. The lakes and rivers needed this rain for fish reproduction and food.
  22. Late Saturday night the storms took out our electicity, so this lead to going to sleep early like they say when the chickens go to roost. Well we woke up before the rooster did and had nine hours of sleep. Power was still off, so what to do??? The river sounded good, boat was still hooked up from Weds. trip ooff we went into the darkness. We decided to fish Wildcat to Cotter, we hit the water about 6:30am foggy overcast, slight sprinkle. Just below the first bend on the north side is a Sportsman Resort boat under the water. we caught fish off of it then moved to the middle dragging (shush) Power Bait, I was throwing a fire tiger rogue at the bank. We did pretty good I was suprised at the rainbows that jumped on the rogue, most when it hit the water on the first twitch. We continued down to Cotter which was a pretty fast trip, a fellow caight a nice brown male looked to be 6 lbs or so in the shoal by Denton Ferry RV park. My best rainbow came between the bridges against the south shore. Normally I can hook a brown or three on the north shore but not yesterday. We decided to head back up river so we went on to to Stetsons the bank across from Stetson's was pretty hot for small bows on orange black striped panther martain. Caught a few bos in the hole on the north shore just above the Whitehole Rapids. I had another rod ready with the ratehr large Rapala husky Jerk bait dirfted over the north shoal and made the perfect cast and thump a ground shattering fish hit as I tried to work the fish and the boat into slower eddy water the fish wrapped around a bush and broke the line before I could work it loose. We fished out way back down to the island below Sportsmans. I was again throwing the fire tiger, fishing had slowed as I lobbed the firetiger over the gravel bar bewteen the islands a really nice Cutthroat hit it, big fat one. Go him to the boat measured 18 1/2 with a 12 inch girth, I reached in the bag for the camera and it was not there!!! Wife just happend to take it out for a project for one of her classes and did not put it back. So the fish swam away to fight another day. Yea I released a nice fish, out of the 41 fish we caught yesterday even the ones on power bait the only one gut hooks was a bow on the Panther martain. We have a15hp Merc four stroke and it still has 1 1/2 gallons of gas about half of the 3 gallon tank left. Thats a run from Cotter to Stetson's plus fishing in between. Thats just incredible MPG consdiering the high water Wd. we had fsihed from Ranchette running up to Redbid shaols then down to well bwlow the mouth of Buffalo for some smallies and back to Ranchette and when I filled the tank all I could sqeeze in was .8925 of a gallon. $3.51 cents of gas. These four strokes are sure fuel effecient. Now if I had a smaller truck. Taxidermist.
  23. Just wait till the air boat flips. I have some friends in Lower Louisianna and a couple in Florida that are big into airboats. One in Alaska has a 504 Merlin (super big block 454 chevy race prepped) at som epoint the linkage will either break or uncouple and then the ride will be wild. You could approach the owner about MUFFLERS!!! $100.00 in muffler work would make a lot of people happy I bet.
  24. Bill was it John French?
  25. I have known Don since way back when he worked out of his basement in Raytown. Yea Don does mounts just for show as do many taxidermist. You want to see the best of small mammals? Drop by OzarkWoods in Harrison AR. Belive me Brian is the topdog in small mammals!! I have dropped in at Gary's once but he had left. Wehn I take something to a show its normally something that is a clients. I have been told by many of the world top taxidermist to do some special mounts, but to me to not use a clients mount is not taking care of that clients work right. My best work should be on the customers walls!!! not my or in my showroom. Michael and anyone else on the forums; My doors is always open when I am in the studio. So anyone who wants just drop in. MOn, Tue, Thrus, Fris 10:30am to 6:00pm. Having been in this business 30 years even did a lot of fish and other mounts while stationed in Germany. Yep I have a passion for doing my best on each and every piece. In case you wonder about the odd hours. I run the business, I dont allow the business to run me. Wed I try to fish as well as one day on the weekend. If you catch me there on Wed. its cause I had to get something done!! I don't have coffee on but at lest I have a/c now. Got a passion for fishing too., for me its been slow this year just to much on the old plate. Anyway feel free to stop in, personalities are tuff when typing. I am sure you can find the Wal MArt in Flippin. we are right across the street in the old rock gas station another fellow Cobb sold Rebel items there for years. Sadly he passed away a couple years back, lung cancer. If you are cdropping by on a Wed and its where I can let me know and we will hit the river, I dont fly fish but I do spin fish and will go at the drop of the hat.
