  1. Gravel guards, newer waders have them attached. It allows you to use different boots for various footing, I have a set of felt bottom I use in warm water streams, rubber bottom with studs in cold water if strictly waddling and a set of plain rubber bottoms for in and out of the boat. I have owned both would not want to go back to boot foot, can walk long distance in comfort, gortex breathable is nice in warmer weather, neoprene in cold
  2. Everharts is a good place, it is unreal how much stuff I have to drive up there to get or order while I live 15 miles from the mother ship of the greatest outdoor store in the world. Will be asking for crappie info hopefully soon
  3. Let's not leave out Instinctive Shooting by G Fred Asbell
  4. I have and own the set just hope I can get the ability back to shoot traditional again.....working on it everyday
  5. All above posts look good to me. I tie some rigs in off time similar to rps. I have also bought rigs and bottom bouncers off eBay with good results. Look for a guy with high reviews do not get stuck on price.
  6. I was going to jump on them but my wife said we did not have room for another Rubbermaid full of magazines
  7. Do you cast with the right, that seems so efficient to me
  8. My baby sister "borrowed" my album and took to school to share at fun time, unbeknownst to me, "freaked out" would be a mild term when Mom had to go to school and get my sister and the album
  9. I have not been down since the change in the Dawt dam, but in the past have put in at the 160 bridge at Tecumseh and ran up to the bridge below the dam. I have only used a canoe above that point. Hope this helps, beautiful river, hopefully recovering from the flood. g
  10. But then I would limit the potential need for a boat mechanic and that would affect you, and the whole economy might collapse? The oil field guys, highway workers.... on and on.
  11. Well... it gives me an excuse to kill the darn drum after he excited me thinking he was a large member of another species. Poor man, well just slang for fugal Drum is even less expensive than lagoon raised shrimp. I am told drum is in the same family as the fish used to make imitation crab meat? Shoot I do not know, maybe I just need more lucky stones?
  12. From May 1989 Missouri Conservationist page 12 http://cdm.sos.mo.gov/cdm/compoundobject/collection/moconserv/id/7088/rec/1
  13. Thanks Al, yes at 59 the tape and go not as easy as when 20. From what I am told I should have went with rest and ice immediately rather than lace my boot as tight as I could and work another 10 hrs. I was rather taken back when the surgeon suggested acupuncture. He seemed to think I had damaged some nerves it might relieve pain so I can at least sleep without the opioids they make me feel weird (I am weird anyway) so guess weirder? Going to give it a try, somehow. g
  14. First two times coil, third time they suspected fuel pump, did not wait to be repaired just wanted the pos off the boat. I am sure a ford chevy thing have owned 3 omc bad (59 evinrude would not start in lake or river water, fine in test tank, Fitch would not stay together, etech only quit 5 or more miles from truck). Know guys who run them with no issues just a luck thing i have 3 merc, 2 Nissan 1 Yamaha 1 tohatsu none have left me stranded knock on wood
  15. dang, guess I have just been lucky.
  16. Etec stranded three times, two times upstream, one down..... replaced 2 yr old motor while still under warranty. Never owned a opti, sounds like I do not want one.
  17. try the part number on ebay, a small oil filter wrench usually works
  18. Not sure where to post this so here I go. In January i fell and severely sprained sprained my ankle, with partial torn ligaments. Have had air cast, to lots of ice and therapy. Darn thing continues to swell and hurt. The Doctors seem frustrated. The current thought is that some nerves have been damaged, as the ligaments seem healed, but ankle is still less than 50% of the other in strength. The latest advice is to try Acupuncture. I would like everyone's experience and suggestions for someone in SWMO to give it a try. Thanks g
  19. I had that issue a few years back, found a connection pin had broken... I remove my units each trip to protect and apparently a pin had a bend and I broke it off on installation ...... I have a portable set up could hook up would be glad to share but not sure when I will get that way again.
  20. Tough times....but I would Love to take my Dad and Papaw fishing one more time, no matter how frustrating, fry my Mom and Grandmother fish....drive them to a hair appointment. Told my boys just put me in a canoe and send me down the river...in January. g
  21. I had some skunk yesterday might have worked...but he is no longer available.
  22. Nothing is free in Johnny World, but it is usually first class.
  23. Guess you can watch this evening at 615 live stream:
  24. I usually put them on the spit and the taters in the skillet.
