  1. good day to tye flies for what lies ahead
  2. get a blanket and some smoke,that worked well for many years.
  3. just make sure you have nav lights at night because other boats can't see you.I almost ran over an unlit yak one moonless night,scared the heck out of me.
  4. no it wasn't me I have not made it down there yet
  5. I have an old Evinrude 56 lb thrust 12/24 trolling motor I routinely run it for 6-9 hours per day.recently bought group 27 and a group 31 battery for my other boats.You definitely need bigger batteries for those more powerful trolling motors.The problem is the high cost of the batteries.Most people don't want to pay north of $215 for a single battery but they don't mind buying a $700 dollars phone,go figure!
  6. I have used two blue top optima batteries d34m since 2011 can't beat that
  7. New Steathcraft ATB Pintail
  8. can you use an Arig ?
  9. nice pics guys
  10. what is the blue material in the fly,can you find this on youtube
  11. I just bought a boat in October without asking my wife of 38 years.I still work full time at 66 years of age.I can afford it,so I bought it.Looks good with my other 3 boats.She has smoked for over 40 years.It has taken a toll on her health.Heart problems etc.I like to think I have not sent my money up in smoke.By the way she likes the boat.Go get one and enjoy it,you won't live forever.
  12. I would bet money that the fish on the stringer is not anywhere close to 30 lbs.Look at the size of the head and the hand holding the stringer.
  13. These game farms are going to be the death of deer hunting in Mo.CWD will continue to spread while a few people will reap huge rewards at the expense of all present ant future Mo. deer hunters.If no one came to hunt on these operations there would be no need for any of this.
  14. Academy is way cheaper
  15. As I have always said,Bass Pro is the highest place to shop for anything.You can without fail find it cheaper anywhere else.Cabelas will soon be the same.
  16. I tried telling my wife I needed a driftboat for river fishing,she said you don't fish rivers.My point exactly.I just bought it instead.She was surprised to say the least.Wouldn't be so bad if that wasn't the fourth boat I own.Let your wife buy whatever she wants.By the way my wife wanted to go to Florida to visit her cousin after my new boat got delivered,guess who ended up buying her the ticket.It was' not her,I think I got the better deal
  17. Thanks Mosmallies
  18. Al,what is the address for the smallmouth alliance meeting in st.louis where you will be speaking.Thanks
  19. Wrench,I need to go fishing with you.I think we would get along because of similar sense of humor.You are pretty funny.
  20. Al, Where will that smallmouth alliance meeting be held in St.Louis
  21. Thanks for the reply.I always try to go with someone I can outrun.
  22. absolutely beautiful.I can look at winter landscapes all day long.
  23. I think some these pros blow a lot of smoke.3 inches my butt
