How do you like that Predator?

I use epoxy on just about all of my poppers. It can be real messy until you get used to it. I use small popsicle sticks and tooth picks to "apply" it and then put it on a turning wheel so that it flows out evenly.

All good points John. But I think that everyone realizes that when you buy something from an individual that any warranty is out the window. But there have been a couple of suggestions on here that what Brian is doing is illegal. I don't think he is selling pot out of the trunk of his car, probably make a better profit if he was. Yeah, if he doesn't claim his profit to the IRS we are all getting screwed and he should be in jail immediately. But how many of you have ever sold anything that you owned personally and didn't report it? Ever have a garage sale? Brian, if you need some help setting up a Business and Tax ID let me know. It's very easy and the expense is minimal. Then you will be a legal business and maybe then we can move onto something more important.

Whoever needs it the most. I am in the retail market so I understand what you are talking about. We do have people try to take our customers by underselling us all the time. It's called competition. There are two ways to handle competition. You can scream like a little baby and complain to your customers that they are not being fair because it cuts into your profit, and stand the chance of loosing more business. Or you can try something different to support your customers and bring them back to your place of business. Maybe you guys should attack sites like ebay, who are probably doing some real damage, and leave small time guys like Brian alone. If you were smart you would leave him alone and hope that he sells out fast. Making him hang onto to it longer only drives the price down, but he will still have to move the product. So now he has still "take your sales" but nobody has made any money.

Oh you can't shoot them. You have to hit them with a high speed bass boat. It's the sporting way. Catch and Release only. The mortality rate is still high though.

Cool, I've been looking for a place to talk about jet skiing.

Nice video.

Here is a comparison photo I found online. Those are crazy looking.

The only thing he is ever trying to draw attention to is himself. Like when the Whalers supposedly shot him. He's an idiot.

I do agree that it doesn't need to be banned. That does nothing for anyone. I know there are a lot of guys out there that love gigging. It sounds like a fun time on the river, I have never had an opportunity to go. I shorter season might help, but wouldn't most just concentrate their efforts in a shorter time. I don't know how you enforce it. I understand the argument about not being able to sneak up on them because you need a jet boat and big lights. But having an agent run up and down a river during peak gigging season wouldn't hurt. They could stop and talk to each group of giggers they came across. Yeah you are not going to catch them in the act, but just the presence would cause most to be legal. I've been checked on Table Rock several times at night and they never tried to hide from me.

Isn't that how they all end up any more?

JJ, I received yours yesterday. They look very good.

You could ban jet boats after dark.

I updated the original post again. Just waiting on flies from ness, JJ and myself.

Just received some very nice Black Scorpions from mike h. I really like these, might keep them all!!

Did you see how cold it's going to be??? Yeah, probably, maybe, I don't know, ok I'll probably be there!!!!

I did receive your flies. I thought I updated the original post yesterday but something didn't work. It is updated now.

I second Gilbert to Maumee. I love that stretch.

I have updated my original post showing whose flies I have received. I have some great flies all ready, keep them coming.

I like the wooly video.

Well at least we don't have to look at your ugly mug!

I have received Zach's spinnerbaits. They look really good. I thought I had sent my address to everyone but after JJ and Gavin have pm'd me it obvious that something went wrong. So if you haven't received a PM with my address then let me know and I will get it to you. Terry I will be by this week to get yours.

I would help in anyway that I can. I'm am out of town a lot so it's hard for me to be committed to every meeting. That's the reason I didn't try to start a chapter the first time Matt brought this up about a year ago.

Not to mention Phil sent a guy to retrieve some tools to unlock your car. You had everybody looking everywhere for your keys. I think all that special coffee made you numb. Hopefully you can keep track of them this year. I'm sure somebody will always be checking to make sure you know where your keys are!

Your right, I do need to come by. I still don't have the materials I need.
