Perhaps it's Bill Gates? All this COVID vaccination stuff was just so he could continue genetic alteration research in the hopes that he could identify as a fish. Legally.

That's what I am thinking (hoping). It clicks when I hit start but maybe it just isn't relaying the power properly and needs to be replaced.

Wonder what the cost is? That facility doesn't look cheap. Their approach seems sound. I would suggest they dump about 50,0000 Titan fingerlings into Beardsley but the fishing really can't get any better as it is now.

Could be anything. But my thought is that it's electrical. A bad wire or connection popped loose on the 3 minute run from 86 Park to the dock. That's the hope anyways. The onboard charger has been acting funky too and not charging one of the 4 batteries like it should (starting battery). But I pulled that and charged it off a charger til full and that still didn't do it. So it's not the battery. It's in the wires somewhere and hopefully not a bigger mechanical issue.

Not gonna lie.....I've pulled the "kill switch head scratcher" before. Also have pulled the "it's still in forward gear and won't start head scratcher". But this time it is NEITHER of those.

Thanks guys. Guess I'll run it over to Ulrich. Not in a hurry so it's fine if they are backed up.

Who are you guys using for your outboards in Branson area? Came down this weekend, launched and took a 3 minute ride to the slip at the dock. Came back a few hours later to fire her up and nothing. The solenoid just clicks but nothing will turn over. I am no mechanic by any stretch and have no clue what the deal is. I tried a new battery but that didn't help. It's an Evinrude so if there are any techs that work on them that would be best.

Treble hooks at night sound like a recipe for disaster. For me anyways.

1/2oz NuTech Elite Jig with either a Netbait Paca Chunk or Zoom Super Chunk. Don't get too caught up in colors much at night. Typical browns, black and green pumpkin. 10-12" worm (I like Netbait C-Mac, Berkley Powerbait, Zoom Monster and the old stand-by original Culprit) or full sized Zoom Brush Hog. Texas rigged or Jika rigged on a owner oversized worm hook. I like the longer hook shank incase they only have the tail or back half of the worm. Also like the longer throat of the hook for more of the meat of the worm to hold it in place. Keeps you from having to bite off small chunks of the head as often and having to rethread after beating up the worm. Usually on a 1/4oz bullet sinker or with the Jika a 3/16 or 1/4oz casting sinker.

Thanks again guys! -Brett

Just absolutely hate to hear this. Never met Bo in person but we PM'd each other a couple of times a year about this or that related to fishing. His knowledge of Table Rock and the surrounding Ozark lakes is and was second to none. His simplistic approach to fishing is a throwback and something to be admired in a time of graphs and other technology that teeters on skewing the competitive balance of man versus their quarry. Same can be said for his boat an equipment. All from the 90s or perhaps even earlier. Didn't matter. Simple and effective. It's was actually quite refreshing to see. Nothing but respect for Bo as a fisherman and more importantly as person. Willing to divulge any hard gained info, give an honest answer or help in any way where he could. Condolences to his family, including that little fishing buddy dog of his. Rest easy, Bo.

I know the GPS location on that graph. That spot makes our dock look like a desert wasteland devoid of life back in Beardsley.

Reminder to get your lineups set for the Elites that start at Champlain in 2 days. Good luck!

This news piece brought to you by CNN.

Hate to hear this. Bo is one of the good guys. Hope for a quick and full recovery.

Reminder that Elites fire up again tomorrow morning on the Big G. Get those lineups set!

This is your reminder that the Elites kick off tomorrow on legendary Lake Fork. Should be some HUGE bags brought in. Get those lineups set.

Heads up that Elites kick off tomorrow on the Sabine River. Don't forget to get those lineups set!

USC fell flat and like you said that's also probably because of the Zag's just being THAT good. I don't see any team beating them. Consistency is the name of the game in just about any sport to be truly successful. Heck, same could be said for life.

I'll tell you what. Having not seen USC til now due to them being out in the PAC12 and just not much coverage of them on TV here in the Midwest......they are a dangerous squad. They play way bigger and more athletic than their seed for sure. Oregon was a good team and USC took it to them pretty good. I'd imagine that the game tonight will be a real barn-burner as both teams flat out get up the court in a HURRY. Don't know if I've EVER seen a team do it quicker or better than this years ZAG's. Should be a good one if USC repeats it's last performance against the Ducks.

I did indeed. Which made the decision to buy it easier after speaking to him on the phone. Super nice guy and since I knew he had access to the best mechanics, engineers or other Ranger specialists regarding the boat it was a pretty easy sell. It will remain garage kept and well cared for as long as we own it. Just saw a pic of his new Vexus. Thing is SWEEEEEEET.

Was a good game for sure. Hogs just had really poor shot selection the last 5 minutes or so of the game and didn't make many of them. Didn't help that Baylor just couldn't miss a 3 in that same period of time later in the 2nd half. Still a good run for the Hogs.

Thanks, brother. Glad to see you back on the boards mixing it up again. Hope the family is doing well and your groundhog is still giving you fits of madness.
