  1. Out of all the times my grandpa took me fishing as a kid, I remember the bait catching more than the fish caught. We alway caught our own bait, dig worms, catch hoppers and little frogs, seine a few crawdad and minnows, scour riffles and grab hellgramites by hand (takes some skill). Great times and really learned a lot about nature. Oh and occasionally find a big wasp nest to use the pupa for bait.
  2. Tell the Doc if you've ever had a bad blow to the head. My Dad had problems with his, they said the cateracts fell into the back of his eye. Didn't make much sense but he's the only person I've heard of that had problems.
  3. They've been saying that for a long time, if they let all the new undocumented into the system, it might be true.
  4. Hope you have a plan for medical coverage till you're eligible for Medicare.
  5. People b*tch about paying into SS until it's time to start drawing. Then they b*tch about how much how much they draw. Personally it's the best money I even spent, my money ran out years ago, but I still get that check.
  6. Probably a Northern Goshawk
  7. We have a lady in town that traps feral cats, takes them to get spayed/fixed then releases them back to the alleys.
  8. My main problem with ethonal is the amount of water it takes to manufacture it, if I remember right, 7 gallon of water for a gallon of ethonal.
  9. Several years ago I read an article by Brian Snowden, on how he fished TR depending on how they were releasing water from both Beaver and the TR dams.
  10. Most any oil, but canola is what I used. Give it a wipe of oil, heat oven to 450, put the pan in upside down with foil underneath heat about an hour then turn the heat off and let cool. Repeat as required.
  11. Reading, it's fundamental.
  12. Used to fish for carp all the time when I was a kid. Mom pressure cooked them and made fish cakes. Then again we were poor white trash according to some.
  13. For all the hype, in my area, it seemed more of a bust. Saw none and only heard a few.
  14. Caught a lot of small sharks when I was stationed in Florida. However my brother in law, fished only for bait and sharks. Seen him split a 20-25 lb Bonita into two baits for bull or hammerhead many times.
  15. Heard a few last night, while changing a tire, close to 39 and Flat Creek.
  16. I heard Mt. Vernon got 5 inches and was flooded, that water goes to Oklahoma. The only stream gage that is up for TR is Galena, about 3.5 feet since 0100.
  17. I think I heard on TV yesterday it was a 1.1 million dollar event. However I can't find a pay-out list other than it's 10,000 minimum.
  18. I've caught a lot of cats on crankbaits, particularly on Truman, when bass fishing.
  19. Didn't make sense too me either but it happened
  20. The trip when I found color was definitely important was a dark and stormy night tournament on Table Rock. My partner was absolutely kicking my tail on tomato red salt craws. I couldn't get a bite on any other of the normal colors fished at night and he only had 6 of them. Finally he tossed a torn up one in the bottom of the boat, I rigged it up, bam first cast landed the only fish I caught all night.
  21. 600 acre controlled burn, I heard reported earlier, despite high winds.
  22. I remember trout fishing in the mountain lakes in Arizona that the state stocked regularly. Definitely could tell a fresh stocked fish from on that had been in the lake for a while, a different taste and texture.
  23. I thought Bill was running 3, 50ah Pro Guides, but I might be wrong.
  24. I got blown off the road during a snowstorm in Minnesota in October, several years back. Never go north later than September is my rule now.
