Since I got a three day pass last weekend, I had to do some honeydo's yesterday. I really wanted to though. Never did hear back from Scott, did he make it??? I think Stony was going too????

Classic mitch!

Funny they don't mention his name when the hundreds of HIGH temps are set.You don't hear a peep. But you slip in one low temp every couple of years and they won't shut up!

Same as Robert Johnson, only to paint.

Spot on post OB. All of your post on this subject have been. Some just can't understand logic though. I applaud your valiant effort.

Petty bickering??? Maybe by todays standards but it surely was not petty in that day and time.

Nice work eric. I have more that I would like to add but I promise he did understand a word of what you just said.

Hummm.....Otters...... I am off for a three day two night float. You boys play nice till I get back. We can talk more quail then.

I keep hearing this whole quail thing, but reality is when you control less than 2% of the total land mass of the state, there is not a lot you can do. That is the responsibility of the land owner. And the MDC more than to help any willing land owner

You are a machine Al. That would take me about 3 days. But if you want to hit it again this fall, I'll be happy to come up and help you with the shuttle. I'll do my best to keep up with you.

And catfish.

You can go to any bar and find great talent. Super talent. Some of the best out there. I won't argue that for a minute. But these days, since 80's, you have to have the looks. If you are half way talented and not afraid to stand in front of a crowd, they can cover up your bad singing. Christopher Cross is an amazingly talented singer. On of the very best out there. But he came to the game too late. He didn't have the look. And then there is Bob Dylan. He trumps all rappers. God bless Bob Dylan.

If it helps you guys out, I listen to very little, relativly speaking, produced after 1979. I am typing from my phone today, I won't be typing much.

Yeah, we are back to situation normal.

Nice work oneshot. You made very quick work of that! I love carp fishing. You know your are doing it right when you can only fish one rod at a time! Can you make a vid and show how to do a smallmouth????

I should have been a lawyer.

That is it right there. They can't sing cause they have no talent. It is nothing more than poorly executed, talentless, mono toned poetry, and I use the term poetry very loosly on because of the rhyming. They do not sing. Craft???? A craftsmen has talent. Never seen a rapper win Amerian Idol.

Very nice find!!!! You are getting some very sound advice here. I personally am not a fan of the cane seats but they do look nice. I put boat seats in mine and while I love the comfort, I am toying with the idea of going back to the seat backers. But that may still be a couple of years down the road.

I got a letter back saying it was "nulled". I think that was the term. Said if I didn't cause the land any trouble, I wouldn't be prosecuted. Didn't say for how long though. I won't be using that lawyer next time. He was pretty much a smartass and didn't seem really concerned about what my right are and such. It turned out the way I wanted also not the way I wanted too if that makes any sense.

Some of my hottest top water action on the rivers has come in mid afternoon. I fish by what the fish tell more than by my watch. Heck, somedays it seem they don't want anything from the top no matter what time it is.

I always added a small can of cat food. I think it works great.

I'll be checking on that this weekend!!!!!

That is a really easy float. Not even hardly a riffle on this one. No tricky water or even a tree in the way. The only set back is the take out is not the easiest. It is not the hardest I have done by any means but can a little troublesome. I have to work this weekend but have some open dates after that.

I wouldn't recommend Cherry Corner to Allen or Tipton Ford to Reddings Mill. Not for someone of your experience with the family. Just below Cherry Corner is a very sharp S-curve with a very low hanging tree right where the current is going to put you. It will take some very strong paddling and handling skills to avoid it. As stated, there is also the remnants of a mill dam that you will have to portage. And it is not the easiest portage. Not bad, but will take a bit of work. And plus, if it was so easy, ask Buzz why he dumped on this float. I am in big trouble now! Getting to Reddings Mill will be very tricky also. Just below Gateway the channel splits and you must stay to the left and even there, there a couple of tricky jams that will require very good handling. After that you will run into a spot where the river makes its first appearance next to River Rd that has some huge boulders across the stream that will take some careful negotiations. And then after that, about a mile up from Reddings Mill, the river splits again. You again will have to stay left. But this time, the water gets really skinny. You will be negotiating twists and turns in a channel that is only about 2 canoes wide. Then, when you get out of that, just before the old bridge, you will have to walk your canoe over the natural falls. You want to stay to the right this time. Go slow! It is slick and very rocky. Solid rock with lots of pockets and drops. If I was you, I'd do the Allen bridge to Limekiln like Buzz said. You have great access' at both ends, its only about 2 miles and very easy to float. The river will split on you just down from Allen and stay left. Take your time and enjoy it.

Sure there is a big difference but, as Al stated, there are many that chase the new world record bass with a greater amount of skill and better equipment than George had and have yet to catch it. So how much does skill come into play???? I don't think that is the term they use with you. Snob!
