Green persimmons were good for throwing. Probably should not have launched a covert operation on the man painting his birdhouse from a step ladder. What seemed funny at the time was no longer funny when we were tracked down at our tree fort and escorted home by the local pd.

If you are close to KC I am interested. PM me.

Wondering if the funeral home just wanted its money upfront and thinks reimbursement by Uncle Sam would be quicker than waiting on insurance company.

Most folks from StL also inquire what school you went to. Except they mean high school

2/3 of a pun. PU

As well as the lures that were available in different eras.

Hard to compare the guys from different eras. All the new electronic gadgetry has made some of these guys real good. Take all that away from them and throw them back in the days of Clunn, Parker, KVD in his prime and see how they'd do. Totally different ballgame today.

Gold toe nails and all. Not a fan of that breed. More than likely some backyard breeder tired of feeding them. Cage the breeder.

So much is "Out of Stock" these days.

So sorry to hear this. Hope the reds are biting.

Looks like a great day and a lot of fun. How deep you fishing Nedly?

I can't believe Wrench has control of the checkbook. She must just let you carry it around.😃

When I think corrosion I think of what saltwater does to metal. Is that the corrosion you speak of or just rash from usage and getting bounced around?

Thanks

Dang. Wish I'd of seen those. Heck of a deal.

Just use your single spins Doug

Hate to say it, but the glory boys have no more right to a spot than you do. Whoever is there first controls the spot. It would cost them a couple of rods at a minimum for me to just leave a spot. It is called common courtesy. Playing for pay makes them no better than anyone else.

Eaten there a couple times after duck hunting. Good prime rib.

Hey Wrench - Would you use 3/4 inch square tubing? How long a span can I go without using vertical supports? Planning on using 1/8 inch aluminum sheet for the floor.

I am a bouncer as well and use SDRs that I tie myself using 10# flouro. I should probably upgrade my electronics but have done well with what I have. I usually only get to Stockton for 4-5 days per year so I definitely need more time on the water down there. Points, humps, and channel breaks are my usual target areas. Although I have found the walleye stacked in some spots that meet none of the above criteria. Haven't figured out why they are there, just that they are.

Currently using a wood frame and plywood deck installed in 2001. Treated the plywood but some areas have separated and started to rot. 95% of the framing still good. Trying to figure out if an aluminum deck and framing is worth the effort. I don't weld so I have to figure out how to connect the aluminum square tubing to make the frame. I've seen plastic elbows and T's on line for tubing but have no idea on the durability. Plywood compartment lids were east to make, hinge, and install but are coming apart where the screws went into the laminated layers. Would have to figure out a way to frame an aluminum lid or just buy lids. Anyone with experience going to all aluminum?

I could write for hours on the things I saw mostly good, some bad, and plenty that would leave you shaking your head in amazement. Ten year anniversary of that beast on Friday. I also recall all the hoopla over Obama coming to make an appearance while there was a gunman at the college trying to kill his ex. Talk about a scramble drill. With all the good that was done and all the goodwill there were also those trying to profit from the disaster, looters, scrappers, price gougers, unaffected folks claiming to have lost it all to get free stuff. Still way more good than bad. It definitely changed my views on living each day cause it could be your last.

Looks like way too much fun. I always get "invited" to help folks move, but it never includes fishing.
